Hey guys,
I had Sven on the phone today and asked him to give me some more details about the current situation so I can forward those to you.
Here is what he told me:
There are 4 orders active right now
- John Needs
- David Rock
- Simon Dickson
paid the "old" price and the money already arrived.
-Richard Kearsley was unfortenately too late and already had to pay the new price.
The money is not there yet but Sven expects it to arrive on Thursday.
Every further order will cost 260 Euro + 40 Euro shipping = 300 Euro - that's not because he wants to fool you or because he thinks he can earn more money from you guys, but it's because obviously dbilas isn't stupid at all. It looks like they never sold so many exhaust manifolds before, so they have risen the price - also for him. He forwarded the additional cost to you 1:1 he does NOT earn a single cent more with the risen price. If you do not believe, grab a phone and call dbilas.
There is an additional problem. Dbilas is refusing to continue shipping to the UK because apperantly they have an official reseller in the UK already and they don't want to compete with this guy/company (Regal?)
Sven is going to pick up your manis directly from dbilas (100km trip for him) and sending them by hisself to you guys without requesting more money, so please don't loose bad words about him. He's a good guy and he makes you a very good price. That's why you order from him right? It's only his second income and he is more interested in making people happing by supplying good parts at good rates and not in making lots of money.
Because of the mentioned circumstances, delivery will have another delay.
He will pick up your stuff this week and due to easter holidays, he can not bring it to the post office before next week but he promised to ship on Monday at the latest on Tuesday.
He also wants to know if someone else is interested in buying one because he could directly pick another one up when he visits dbilas anyway. Please let me know as soon as possible so I can forward the information to him. As I said for every new order the new price is 300 Euro including shipping to UK.
Hope I remembered everything correctly.
If you have questions, just let me know, I'll translate and forward to him.
edit
and yes the dbilas mani is a lot heavier than the standard one (did not compare the numbers yet but I can do that if it's important)
and yes it comes without the gaskets, it's just like dbilas sells it. You have to get new gaskets from your local VX dealer (or Opel if not UK ;-))
