32 Confirmed by UMI

Ryan at UMI just sent me an email confirming there are 32 orders now in.

He also asked me to post this:

"We will begin shipping today, your set is shipping out today and others hopefully today if not defiantly tomorrow. Not all yet, we have 14-20 orders shipping this week. If you could please put a post up that we will now begin charging the rest of the orders to prepare for shipping. This is easiest way for us to ship as soon as possible, this way they are all processed and ready to go."

A few questions

How did you get a tracking number? I think I was the 3rd or 4th person to order. Should mine have shipped already? Do I need to go to UMI's website to get the tracking number? Will it be emailed to me?

...............

email ryan at support@umiperformance.com

ask if your order has been sent out and what the tracking number is. Ryan told me UPS should have sent me an email with the tracking number. They havent yet but ryan gave it to me along with a link to the UPS tracking page. Just enter the tracking number there once you have it and find out where your package is.

Hope this helps.

I was just wondering if there is a list of who's orders have been shipped out. That way we know when to expect them to come in.

Lucky you

and ask. Ask if your SFCs have been sent and if there is a tracking number you can have.

To Grizzlee: I have added you to the map.

Hello Members,

I just wanted to first thank every member who has participated in the GP, thank you!

We are shipping all orders as quick as possible. We are shipping in as close as possible to the date the order was received, this way the first few to order ship first. This will vary slightly due to color. Once your order has shipped a tracking # will be e-mailed from UPS.

So far we have shipped 12-14 sets, we have another batch shipping on Tuesday and Thursday and maybe a few in between. We will be very close to completed but the end of next week.

If anyone would like to know a order status please e-mail me direct at sales@umiperformance.com, do not post it please. Since we are currently not a sponsor of this site I will not be replying to this post, just to say thanks is all.

Thanks again
Ryan

MY SFCs Just Arrived

My sfcs arrived today. Man am I impressed.....they look great.
I can relate to the feeling of it being like christmas. It took my an hour to unwrap the suckers. I think I was more excited than if it were christmas.

I got stickers too....I asked for them before they shipped my order.


Thanks you to all for making this happen.

Got to strip the car down then it goes to the media blasters for a cleaning under side too. yes I,m being alot nutty but I'm only going to this once. not a little here and there. I also got 2 stickers.


Thank You Robert and thank You Ryan.

I got mine yesterday. I haven't even opened the box and whatnot, I've been too sick lol. Oh well, my car has no engine in it right now so the SFC's can wait a while.

I'd like to say thanks to everyone who was involved in this for making this group buy possible.

Got mine too!!!

I got mine yesterday Feb 15th....Well I'm very impressed with the work! And I got my stickers too!
But like I had stated earlier they ended up costing much more than the face value......... I must say though that I would have never gotten these SFC's if it wasn't for the group purchase
Price $159.99........ with shipping ......$219.99 American Cash
My price $269.99 Canadian then $84.00 Duty,Taxes and Brokerage Fees
Total $353.00 But hey , I'm GOOD!

.....

Thats about what I paid too. I dont mind though cause they wanted like 400 plus taxes at the local Lordco for inferior comp eng sfcs. I got the beefiest sfcs I could find for under 400 and might I add a way superior product.

Starting another UMI GP up soon....keep your eyes out for it.

Good to hear everyone is starting to get them and you are pleased with them

We have all sets shipped to the exception of one set per the buyers request...GP is complete!

Sorry to hear about the brokerage fee's..I tried to warn they would be high but I wasn't sure how high.

Thanks again!

I can't believe theh brokerage fees you guys up in Canada have to pay. We should just become one big screwed up country instead of 2 big screwed up countries. I personally love Canada, as I've been there several times for hockey tourney's as a player and a youth league coach. Ottawa is awesome in the winter (only been there during hockey season) and I love Montreal too. I like being able to have a fine rolled Cuban cigar and not having to worry about being arrested.
