Sorry for the delay guys (it was 100% *completely* out of my hands), and my *great* appreciation for your extended patience! It's the homestretch now...

Thanks

Can't wait to see a bit better at night. Throw in the Kaixen HID's hi/lows I bought and I don't have to worry as much about about small things in the road I don't see until they are 20 ft in front of me.

Can we get an ETA or anticipated schedule for getting these to our doors? We definitely appreciate all the work in putting this together Ramy!

Allen, I'm having the WiseSports headlights airlifted along w/ some other high priority items (to save on shipping). The shipment's being packaged up as we speak. Once it leaves (early next week is what I'm looking at), it should be 10 days until it gets to me. And TRUST ME, the *second* they get here, I'll make sure I post and go rampant w/ Fedexing 'em to ya guys. You guys have waited wayyy beyond what I ever expected. So for the nth time, thanks for your patience Heck, at this point, I'm just glad WiseSports didn't just take the money and run

sounds good Ramy. I'm assuming we will be sending the shipping money to you when you get the lights?

Just to let you guys know the last time I talked to Ramy the lights were already prepped for shipping to the US, along with another million or so parts Ramy was bringing in for customers. The only thing holding Ramy up was the shipping quote, which he just got yesterday. He also told me (as mentioned above) that the parts are being shipped via air, so they should be here relatively quick.

I was also asked by several people in the GB about local pick up from me and I'm sorry to say that Ramy will be handling the redistribution of all the kits so that won't be an option.

Once again, sorry about the lengthy wait guys.

-Jason

I wanted to explain something. I have waited from the time I last posted that the lights were ready (5/25/06) until NOW for a shipping quote. Honest. It's COMPLETELY out of my hands. I don't understand how things are sooo incredibly lax and slow, and I was pressing them every few days. No shipping quote = no money = no shipping. I just paid them yesterday based on a tentative quote just to get things moving, and am having everything express airlifted via 10-day air. It's gonna cost me a lot more, but I just can't have you guys waiting any longer. My apologies for this, but once again, it wasn't anything I had control over...

Thanks for your extended patience,
~Ramy

The time of being able to see at night is getting closer and I can't wait....except for a few more days.

LOL...I read you loud and clear Tim. I just spoke w/ them yesterday, and was like "I need this not now, but LAST WEEK. I have customers that are getting VERY angry..."

I'll tell ya this however; I've learned a LOT (unfortunately the hard way), so in the future, the process will be much more streamlined.

Thanks for the update Ramy. To the customers that are angry with how long this group buy is taking, I too am waiting for these as well. However if anyone has any seller:buyer experience with Ramy would know that if he could get them in any earlier he definitely would have. There aren't many honest people/vendors out there nowadays sourcing these kinds of parts for our vehicles. Granted it has been 4 months and some change since the end of the GB, but considering the number of units ordered and where it is coming from I ain't sweatin' it, I have a whole lot of other things to keep myself busy with my FD. Just my 2 cents.

I don't think anyone is upset with the time frame, I just like bustin' Ramy's ***** I couldn't agree with you more, Ramy's a stand up guy who I trust with any amount of money I've sent....he's top notch, that's for sure.

Thanks guys, but I'm pretty sure some guys are pretty angry. Not necessarily from this GB... I have a few parts that were tied up in this same shipment, and needless to say, they've been paid for for quite a while... It's frustrating when it's completely out of your hands... grrrr. Hopefully it doesn't leave any lasting negative impressions... =-/

I had to drive to our North Metro processing plant which is about 80 miles one way through the Atlanta interstate system. I left around 5 am to get there at 7:30 and I was thinking along the way....soon, very soon, I will be able to see the road in front of me

5 months lead time is pretty excessive on the manufacturer's end. I don't understand how Wise Sports can operate a business this way? I'm not sweating it either way, but it definitely makes you think twice about dealing with that business again. Keep harassing them for us Ramy ;o)
