Reply from Autobrite: "...Matt contacted me on Tuesday to pay for the lances,however we have had problems with our payment system so I asked him to contact me today Thursday but he has not.The lances are ready to go and built up,problem is that they have not been paid for and we have no addresses on where to send them? Anyway he might phone me tomorrow as he might have been busy today"

I am also in a similar position. I really want to get my hands on this foam lance. No reply from Matt either and according to Autobrite Matt has not been in touch either. Something may be wrong or he must be very busy as he hasnt replied to my PM nor posted on SN for a few days now.

Excellent - sorry you've not been well, and I hope you didn't mind me contacting AutoBrite to find out the status, and posting their comments here

I believe Matt has the lances now as i collected mine from him at the weekend. So i am sure they will start to be delivered soon.

Still got to try mine out now, wish the weather would brighten up a little, can't wait til the summer !!

Frustrated of Salisbury here - I really do think an update is very much in order. I paid by paypal 3½ weeks ago and have heard nothing at all from Matt.

Now, I'm sure there's a very good explanation for this, so before I starting getting all bolshy, perhaps Matt can step in, post a reply and explain what's up?

Ditto, I was expecting to use this lance a long time ago but all my preparations went out of the window

Agreed. I'm about --| |-- this far from raising a dispute with Paypal, especially when I've read in the Ireland and Northern Ireland forum that someone contacted Autobrite directly and got their lance in 2 days for the Group Buy price. I had 4 cars to prep for winter, I was getting the lance to help me out and I've ended up doing 2 of them without it. Not happy at all.

Just had an immediate email response from Autobrite (after hours - well impressed!) to say Matt took delivery on 26th October. I guess this means he now needs to sort out a mass re-ship, so maybe we can expect them soon?

Still - some comment from the man himself would definitely NOT go amiss.

As above, i picked mine up from him last Sunday, so they have all arrived.

I then spoke to him during the week to bring this thread to his attention. I can only guess he just hasn't had a chance to respond yet. Don't know what else to suggest for you guys to get an update. Have you tried PMs ?

Phoned up AB over a month ago after seeing this group buy, lance was delivered with 2 days. I don't know why this wasn't organised direct with Mark. When I spoke to him about the GB he didn't understand why it was being done in such a round about way as he could have taken payement direct and dispatched.

Seems like this was more hassle than it worth for the sake of a couple of quid. Hope you get yours soon.

Any news? Basically unless I hear something by Wednesday, I'm reversing my Paypal payment and buying direct.

Nope. Posted in the ESC section, and have PM'd Matt. Nothing.

I too will reverse Paypal on Wednesday if I've not heard from him.

I've opened a dispute with paypal. I haven't asked for payment to be reversed, just asked for a prompt for him to deliver. I've also PM'd and got nothing back.

Matt, if you're reading this thread, can you please let us know what's going on? Is there anything we can do to help?

I've run a group buy in the past and it can be a collosal pain in the ***, especially if something goes wrong. Just give us an update and we'll be happy.
