That certainly wasn't aimed at you, you were genuinely trying to help! Sorry if it came across that way.

Jamie,

Yours is the only site I've used that has told me to change my cookie settings, and I've bought lots of stuff over the net.

If it wasn't for the group buy, I would have gone somewhere else.

I make this comment purely with the aim of being helpful, I'm not sure if you know this is going on.

Jamie,

Sorry if I appear ungrateful. I didn't mean to cause offence, or be ungrateful

Thanks for the constructive emails, we are now looking in to solving the cookie problem with Actinic. I knew this happened, but didn't realise it could effect things as the business has grown rapidly since launching the online ordering facilities.

Anyway back to business! The orders are currently being processed and you should expect to see a delivery within the next few days.

If there are any problems I will let you know.

Many thanks once more.

Jamie

Right all orders have been confirmed.

Unfortunately it seems Subaru UK have wiped out all stocks of the PIAA wipers inthe last 2-3 working days. This leaves us in the position of having the larger wipers but not the smaller ones. Delivery times will now vary between 1 - 2 weeks. I do hope this is ok.

Hi everyone

The state of play is that all the same types of wipers are in stock at the moment, but there is no point having one new wiper one old on your cars so they will all be sent out as soon as they arive within the next 1-2 weeks.

I will be posting on here daily so please keep an eye on the thread.

I think what we're asking is what do you mean one of each type? do you mean the left and right are different? and that you only have the left? I initially thought that you meant you had all for certain cars and not others

Why are Subaru buying them, do they sell them through the dealers?

Cool

rb5 286,

Tell us more mate ?? In all fairness why would IM want to **** us over, as it wouldn't be in their best interests to do this mate ?? FFS, this is only a group buy on wiper blades.......Understandable, if someone started a group buy on Ecutek STi8 remaps, but we'd all like to know about that as well!!!

Anyway, if they DID watch this BBS, then maybe they'd understand that they seriously need to sort out there pricing structures ?

I think you might be a little paranoid mate

Phill
