View Full Version : Constella Baffled sump - GROUP BUY Sep/Oct 2012.

Guys

This thread is for CONFIRMED members of the Constella Baffled Sump group buy which I am organising on their behalf.

Prices are:

1-4 purchased = £145 plus delivery

5-9 purchased = £130 plus delivery

10+ purchased = £120 plus delivery

Post in this thread ONLY if you can confirm you want one. Not "maybe" or "possibly" - I'll be expecting you to pay at the end!

I will run the group buy from today (27/09/2012) until 04/10/2012 as this covers end-of-month payday, and end-of-week payday for most people.

I will tidy the thread as we go along, and add people to the "confirmed" post (below) as they post in the thread.

A NON-REFUNDABLE deposit of £25 is payable before 04/10/2012, and delivery will be to your individual address approx 10 days later. (Delivery price to be confirmed, but will be somewhere around £8).

Deposits will be payable to me, and I in turn will pass on your money to Constella in one lump. Once the baffled sumps are ready to ship, I will again post here and you will need to pay the remaining balance before shipment directly to Constella (details will be in the thread when the parts are ready to ship).

Make sure it's a gift obviously, and please remember to put a note on the payment with your saxp username and saying it's for the sump.

I hope that's clear. Any questions, please ask.

THIS IS NOW CLOSED - NO FURTHER ADDITIONS ON GROUP BUY

Hi.

I suggest you contact Constella directly. I think they will be happy to ship to Turkey, but they will need to do it. It's unfair on a member here to ask them to post you one in case something goes wrong. I think it should still be ok for you to be in the group buy, but of course there will be some additional postage :)

Cheers!

Anyone else? You've all been paid now, so dig in your pockets and save your engine! Small investment if you've a decent spec build!

Thanks!

Guys, PLEASE remember to include your forum username on the paypal payment. It's obviously tricky for me to relate one person to their payment, especially when you use your mums/gf/sisters paypal account to pay ;)

I'm not shipping the items. Constella will ship directly to the customer. If you are outside of the UK, please confirm with Constella directly that they are happy to ship to you.

Ross
2nd October 2012, 12:05
Igorbio now paid!

Just two more days before I close the group buy guys - if we can get just 3 more people signed up, everyone saves yet ANOTHER £10 ;)

Put the word around - last push!

Igorbio

Ross
4th October 2012, 09:40
All. This is now CLOSED.

Constella have now received the deposits, and the final price each will be £130 + delivery.

I have passed on your contact email (paypal address) to Constella also, and they will contact you directly to arrange final payment and delivery details soon.

Speaking to Steph, I think the baffles will be ready to send out in around a week. :)

Any questions, ask me or Steph.

Cheers.

You need to ask Constella for the invoice as how do they know you are paying by card over the phone or by paypal, also whether you want gaskets or not?

sweet and how much am i paying in total i have payed the deposit

£140 including postage insured to the full rrp of the baffles (plus £18 if you want the gaskets also) minus the £25 deposit obviously so £115 (or £133 with gaskets) I hope this helps the best bet would be to give them a call tomorrow

SGregg
14th October 2012, 20:40
This is the E-Mail I got from Steph

Hi everyone!



Thanks for getting involved in the group buy for the sump baffles!



The total price is £130 plus delivery of £10 making a total of £140.



Delivery is fully insured to the RRP of the baffles.





You have all paid a deposit of £25 which leaves a total of £115 to pay. This can be paid via paypal invoice (ill send It over to you) or via the phone on card.



We can also offer you the 2 gaskets for the sump baffle at £18 for the pair.



If you want a free pair of stickers please let me know a colour preference and I shall send a couple out to you! ( I even have pink should anyone want them)

Should anyone have any questions or want to discuss anything please call me directly on 01509 507341 or alternatively you can email me here.





Look forward to speaking to you all soon!





Kind regards,

Steph

Which is what James said

I'm in no rush, waited the best part of 3 months for the group buy to go ahead so a few extra days doesn't bother me

SGregg
23rd October 2012, 19:12
Snap, I can wait for the gaskets to be delivered before you send out the baffle :-)

Aidan-106
23rd October 2012, 21:19

e8_pqck
23rd October 2012, 21:22
No worries Steph, just keep us informed - bad news is better than no news, it's far more frustrating wondering where it is rather than knowing what the problem is.

Steph_at_constella
24th October 2012, 11:04
Sorry! its been mental, trying to keep everyone happy in both jobs is incredibly hard!!

Just checked on the progress, should be here friday/monday at the VERY LATEST :)

You laugh but it really is taking the piss.

I did actually ask if they were growing the materials for the gaskets. I have now been assured for what is possibly the 20th time that they will be with me tomorrow. I have literally rang them everyday for the last 2 weeks. (including saturday when im not actually at work here!!)

Im going to go all hulk on their asses if i dont have them tomorrow!

Ross
8th November 2012, 13:40
I'm sure steph will update soon but as far as I know, the gaskets came in finally on Saturday. I would guess these are being packaged up today/tomorrow and sent out ASAP :)

Steph_at_constella
8th November 2012, 13:46
Ross is right but they came in Tuesday, not Saturday, was other parts that were special order from Saturday.

They are going out today!! HOOORRAAAYYYYY!!!

Never using that supplier again....

Ross
9th November 2012, 16:13
These have left the building :)

Most people should get these tomorrow.

Cheers all!

If there is more interest in a few months time, I'll look to organise another group buy (if I can convince Constella!)
