Polyurethane Suspension & Shift bushings

Post by Gro Harlem »

Groupbuy Details

10 suspension bushings are needed to make this groupbuy happen. The shift bushings do not count towards this count since they are immediately available.

Upon getting 10 orders, I will place the order with the bushing company and it may take up to 6 weeks before the bushings start getting shipped out. The shift stabilizer bushings are immediately available for $20 shipped.

Bushing Details:

Click Here for details about the front control arm, rear upper trailing link, and shift stabilizer bushings including pictures and descriptions.

I am working on getting a self-installation how-to online for the front and rear suspension bushings. I already have a page up for the shift stabilizer bushings located Here.

Pricing:

10-14 Bushing sets:

Front control-arm set: $60
Rear upper trailing-link set: $40
Shift stabilizer: $18

If you buy all three sets of bushings, I will ship the items free.

Also, since this is a groupbuy a 10% discount will be applied if over 15 suspension bushing sets are sold (this excludes the shift bushings).

If this happens, the prices for 15+ sets will be:

Front control-arm: $54
Rear Trailing-link: $36
Shift Stabilizer: $16

Shipping Details:

Shipping costs (within 48 lower states):

-Front control-arm or rear trailing-link: $5
-Both front control-arm and rear trailing-link: $8
-Shift Stabilizer bushing: $2
-All three sets of bushings: FREE
-If you buy the shift bushings with either the control-arm or trailing link bushings, the price will still be $5 for both

I will ship the bushings in bubble mailers via first-class mail with confirmation. I've found first-class to be just as fast as Priority, but if you want me to ship via Priority, we can work something out.

I am willing to ship to Canada, although I am still trying to figure out the costs. I will update with those numbers soon.

Payment/Contact Details

I will accept Paypal, personal check or money orders for this GB. My paypal id is groharlem@hotmail.com . I will not assess additional fee's for Paypal.

If you have any questions, email me at groharlem@hotmail.com or you can IM me at GroHarlem6, or just send me a Private Message.

Ok, it seems I have enough interest to make this buy happen for sure.

Since I am still not sure if we will get the 15 orders we need for the discount, please send the full amount. If we do go over the 15 orders. I will send you each a check with the bushings for the amount you overpaid. This way you won't be charged by paypal for their 3% fee.

The deadline for payment will be December 3rd, 2003.

I placed the order for the bushings today. We have 8 orders so far and I don't think I will have a problem selling the other 2 needed so this GB is a go!

I will hopefully be receiving the bushings the 3rd or 4th week of december, and will ship them out ASAP after that.

Groupbuy is technically closed, but I ordered 2 extra sets of the control arm bushings, and two extra sets of the rear trailing arm bushings in case people were interested in buying those.

So far, I have 4 people buying both, 3 of which are buying the shift rod bushings.

So I have room for 2 more orders for both front and rear bushings, and I have plenty of the shift rod bushings in case anyone wanted those.

I should be receiving the bushings the 3rd or 4th week of December, with the typical Xmas delays. I will ship the stuff out to everyone the day I get the shipment in.

Thanks to all who participated! And for those who are interested in those last 2 sets, email me at groharlem@hotmail.com or IM me at GroHarlem6

UPDATE:

Here is what is going on with the bushings.

Basically, the company shipped them to my college address which I originally gave them at the time I placed the order. I later called them, telling them to change the shipping address to the same addy as my billing addy (home address). I guess they ignored this phone call because they still shipped the bushings to my college address.

I am away on winter break until this upcoming sunday (26th) when I move back for Spring semester. One of my roomates has been living at my college addy and was on his way to bring the bushings back but his Eclipse broke down about 20 miles into the 180 mile trip and he couldn't get them to me this weekend. He will be back on monday and I'm going to have him ship me the bushings which will hopefully arrive Wednesday or so.

I am very sorry for the delay. I would've had the bushings around December 28th, but b/c of the circumstance, they were delayed more than 3 weeks :(

Again I'm really sorry, i will ship them out as soon as possible.
