Hey spetz, i think there might be a set of spare maroon front, as I only order the back seat. But of course you have to ask Max.

Same quality as mine mate, which you have already seen..

Spetz,
if you want maroon colour, I can order it just for front seats, as an extention of KEv's order.
If you want other colours, I am afraid its too late.

Guys,
I paid the the deposit, the contact will talk with the supplier this weekend once the transaction cleared. Final amount will be declared, and deposit will be paid.

Regards

Thankyou Max for all your hard work, it is very much appreciated.

Spetz,
I need your decision by tommorrow lunch time, 12pm.
Have to send the order list tommorrow.

whats the ETA??? Seriously i forgot i ordered leather seats, my friend had to remind me today

mxysxy where you located in the city?

I work corner or William and Flinders Lane.

hi, anyone drop out of the group buy here or any left overs ? am interested in getting into this leatherette also thanks

Update on this group buy;
I sent the first payment to the contact on 4/5/05, and she just received it today, after 8 days later. Transaction takes a long time due to the reason that money has to go to Philippines National Bank first, and then to the contacts bank. I don’t know why it works out this way in Philippines, however, it seems that this is the way it is, that Commonwealth bank teller told me.
Few new costs occurred while doing the transaction:
- Exchange rate for Comm Bank was 40.77, which I was calculating at 43.95
- Total of AUD$43 transaction charge I paid for the first transaction.

I am hoping that all additional charges occurred would be covered by the buffer ($5 per set), which already been paid.

Now, I am making sure that the contact understands the order list, after this production will start.

Edit: I do have receipts for every expence, and keeping them for future references.

Regards

Supplier is insisting to finalise the set price at 5200pesos. And the reason for this is that apparently price of leatherette material is increased last month. So, they are reflecting the additional cost to the final price.
Additional 200 pesos mean around additional AUS$5 per set.
To confirm this, I made my friend at work talk with the supplier in Manila for last half hour, and I was on top of him, insisting about 5000 pesos. However, no good result at the end.
It seems that final price of the seat covers will be 5200 pesos = AUD$127.5
Any body has a problem with this outcome?

i'm fien with it so how muc hmore do we need to pay???

No probs here, just let me know how much and I'll transfer into your account again.... Doing a great job, thanks....

i am fine with the extra costing...

due to the extra expense caused by the exchange rate and transfer cost...would you like us to transfer more money into your account now...? or would u rather wait till the end..? upon collection or postage...

either way is fine with me, its just that, if there is any further expenses, then it would be somehow troublesome to transfer another small amount into your account again..?

Thanks for all the effort u are putting in, GREAT JOB!

tommy....

Just let us all know about the extra cost, and when you need it, and it wont be a problem.

Great job!

yeah no prob with xtra cost for me too.

Guys,
Production started last week.
They said it should take about 3 weeks to complete.
Will check it later on today again to get latest update.

Guys,
While we are waiting, I think I should start collecting your address details.
Please send me a pm, with the subject "Adress Details" if possible,
Please include the details of where would you like me to post the seat covers.
For Melbournians, if you would like to collect the covers yourself, please advice. We can arrange the time and location details later.
