    I would like to see the list of buyers like every other GB I have been in.

    You have a receipt from paypal. As of right now I have nothing to give you, and I'm not going to just make something up to appease you. The shocks were ordered speaking directly with a guy at king, then the funds were transferred. I wasnt the guy who did that, I am the guy who coordinated with you and made sure your individual orders were correct, answered questions, and sent the info up. Other than their personal emails which I dont have access to, and they may consider private, I'm not entirely sure what I can provide. Gary should have a list of forum members in the group buy, I had a handful of others I used to fill in the group buy from outside TW. Once I get word that king has things built and are sending them out, I will relay all information I get, but if there is no information there is nothing to relay. Come on guys, you knew there is a lead time, I've got customers who have been waiting for bilstein 6112's since January. All this being said, I have asked the lead sales guy to see if he can provide something to ease your collective anxiousness.

    Ahhh I see why you guys are up in arms about the participants list, it appears Gary took it off the first post. No biggie, I'll see if I can put one together by digging through my PM's and email sometime this morning.

    Just for reference, I ended up ordering through another vendor after I wasn't satisfied with the communication aspect or getting answers to my questions in this GB before placing an almost 3k order. The vendor I ordered with answered all of my questions and had them shipped out within 10 days and that was exactly the time they communicated before I placed the order. They also provided an actual invoice with detailed information about the parts I ordered and another invoice with the tracking numbers once all six of the packages were shipped. I am sure you guys will get your parts in the end, hopefully everything works out and there aren't any issues.

    This is how a professional transaction is supposed to work.

    Well if you want to be a clown and cause drama(again considering you were one of the dudes who accused me of being a scam artist then bailed after committing), heres the entirety of our correspondence. Two emails from me left unreplyed to by you. I hope all works out well for you. I have two kids under 3, a full time job, and just moved across the country. I reply to every email I get, although it may take a little longer than most, I do this simply to help people out. Screenshot_20190410-161524_Gmail.jpg

    I'm still waiting to hear back from my guys at mocha, they are working on receipts for everyone. I'm fighting the fight to get something for you guys since no one seems to trust anyone on TW anymore.

    This is a perfect demonstration of why people think you are unprofessional and why people weren't comfortable sending you $2800. I never once accused you of being a scam artist and I was in the middle of a move myself while you were having a meltdown about people backing out of the GB. Please provide proof otherwise where you claim I called you a scam artist.

    I asked Gary my questions via PM and he forwarded them to you. Your response was inadequate and led me to contact Downsouth Motorsports. They earned my business quickly and it was an easy decision to order through a respected and well-known vendor. My transaction with them couldn't have gone any better and I feel sorry for the guys that ordered through you. You are unfortunately too emotional to run a GB the right way and as I said earlier, hopefully there are no issues for the guys that sent you money.

    So your claim of not being adequately communicated with are refuted and you switch to attacking my character? Please leave, you're offering nothing to this group buy and only are only here to stir the pot. A transaction with a individual is entirely different aswell, apples and oranges. You're not my customer though, so I don't owe you anything.

    My customers are being taken care of, they are getting a response from mocha shortly and individual receipts tomorrow.

    Actually you attacked my character and claimed I called you a scam artist, which was yet again, false. I commented on the thread because people were clearly wondering why they hadn't received a receipt of their purchase through Mocha and they were concerned with the lack of communication you were providing about the status of their orders. My recent order of the same products through DSM took 10 days to order and ship. Your company should be operating in a similar time frame and if they aren't, you should be explaining that to your customers instead of continually blaming others for delays.

    Once again, good luck to the people that placed orders through you. After seeing how this has turned out, I am very happy with the decision I made to walk away. I have nothing personally against you at all and I have only provided facts about my experiences. I'm sorry you aren't happy that I had an extremely undesirable experience with you.

    I apologize, you weren't one of the ones making accusations, this is actual the first time I've had any contact with you. As for lead times, I always overquote them, I dont have direct access to king so I can't give them a ring and see how far out they are. We just got set up with king and I am for all intents and purposes a customer liaison. I do as much as I can.

    Too much
    As long as my order is correct and not an absolutely absurd lead time then it is what it is but that's me

    To everyone involved, purchasing or just looking. I have received confirmation that receipts are in the works and we should have them in our hands by tomorrow. I know we are all wanting proof of purchase or order numbers. Looks like everything is moving forward as promised. Hope this helps.

    "Just wanted to let you know that you order has been placed with King Shocks, I am waiting on confirmation number and lead time. Once received I will update you with this information."

    I was also was offered a discount on their lights that they make in house, out of appreciation for the king purchase.
