    Got nothing but time. Hope all is well. Maybe we can get some updates on how he is doing here and there. So unfortunate

    Hey OP - I finalized my payment with Marie yesterday so please feel free to add me to the list (just to clarify I've been in contact with Headstrong before the GB closed; it just took a couple extra days to wrap up payment due to the recent holiday). Thanks

    Yes, prayers and wishes for a quick recovery. Don't stress on my deal.
    Have they shipped yet?
    Just kidding.
    Really,,,,, don't stress. I will be patient.
    Thanks for the great deal and all your hard work putting this GB together.
    I have a small business and trying to keep customers happy, (our goal), can get very stressful, so when a customer who
    “Has the right to complain” doesn’t, then adds “don’t worry take your time, crap happens, get to me when you can” then chills and does wait. That is very appreciated, and frankly doesn’t happen enough imho.
    I had a customer who waited 2 months for me to come through. I will never forget the grace he showed me.
    Thanks for letting me share.

    Wow - that was fast. Good work. I sent payment Monday and the shipping company dropped a pallet off at my house today. I was working outside not expecting anything and an 18 wheeler shows up. Bonus points as the ARB bumper was light enough for me to pick up and put in the bed of my truck to take to the installer tomorrow (he is currently putting a flatbed on it).
    ——
    Shipping company was massively confused - somehow contact numbers got shredded and I was not warned that the delivery was out. They have delivered to me before, so they rolled the dice and I was home. Last time they rolled the dice they lost - their drop gate failed and they were stuck at my house for almost 6hrs. So they kind of remember me...

    You never know until you know, and I don't know. My guess is as good as yours.

    I got my rears in on Thursday...still waiting on the fronts. I assumed they would ship together.

    Makes me nervous having expensive parts floating around in the abyss.

    It appears to be very random. I ordered after you but I've already received both the front & the rear. I received the front on Dec. 22nd and the rear showed up in November about 4 days after I placed my order. I'm guessing they first ship out whatever they can build the easiest/fastest or maybe they do runs of a particular build when they get to a certain number of orders for that particular part. :notsure:
