GOBI Racks Group buy! (3rd, 4th, 5th gens welcome)

[benjamin247]

not sure how any company can justify 25 weeks for a friggen roof rack. hire more welders or something.

Whoa. Was this the estimate before or during the current covid situation?

Shipping was great for me. Yeah it takes awhile, 4 months for me, but that’s just the way it is. If you have the patience, it’s worth the price.

There’s another group buy starting up. Search for Gobi group buy. [MENTION=8329]MillerPKA[/MENTION] did a great job organizing this one and is organizing the next group buy as well.

Darn missed out. Subscribing for the next one. I saw that some of you had issues with shipping or product. How’d it turn out for everyone?

Mine took 16 weeks from time of confirmed order. I don’t understand all of the hate regarding wait times, Gobi informs in writing that orders will take at least 16 weeks lead time when invoice is emailed. I guess they could inform customers before orders are submitted but I am pretty sure anyone who is ordering already knows they have long lead times. If you need a rack sooner, there are many other options out there too many to list.

I actually think their business model is smart, but that’s just my opinion.

It was totally worth the wait. The quality is outstanding.

I agree. I went from the Eezi Awn K9 rack to this and I love this rack way more!

[Happyboy423]

I’m in for another group buy too. Or any of you guys changed youR mind on your order and want to sell let me know.

Has anyone been in contact with anyone from Gobi? I've sent a few contact emails about an order I made in February and not replies. And I made another order 2 weeks ago that I never received a call for confirmation for. Maybe I'll just call them.

I wrote them an email because I never got my sunroof insert and a few days later they replied they'd have to get back to me when they were able to go back into the office because they didn't have the ability to look up orders remotely.. that was like a month ago, but I imagine they're still WFH.

If anyone in central TN missed out on the group buy and is still looking for a gobi, I just pulled mine off my 2016 and have it up for sale.

5th gen stealth light bar model. Has the sunroof insert, 2x removable bars, ladder, & high power struts.

I'm interested in another group buy if it's happening

I'm planned on ordering a Ranger no-rise today, but I'm curious now if a group buy is being put together. Any idea of this is happening again or not?

 

[Dcjohnsonjr1]

Did anyone actually get their entire order?

I am still missing the graphite bag with black webbing. Even before the slow down from COVID they wouldn’t respond to an email and when I would call they would tell me it was being shipped within a week.

Haven't gotten my bag or heard back about the missing sunroof insert I inquired about a month ago. I figure until they're back in the shop I'm not going to hear anything.

I'm also interested in joining a group buy if [MENTION=8329]MillerPKA[/MENTION] or someone else organizes one.

I'm also interested in placing one of the orders in a group buy. Hopefully soon!

I made an order for a high lift jack mount back in February and have sent in a request for update and no response, when I called they said it was shipping at the end of the week (2 weeks ago). It still isn't here and I called in Tuesday and the girl who answered told me that she can't give me a status update and that I needed to send another status request and she would also send a request to follow up to sales. I still haven't heard from them.

I never got a response but they finally shipped the bag 7 months later. Still has my name misspelled on the FEDEX notice that I have corrected 3 times. I like the rack but if I knew they were this crappy at customer service I wouldn’t have chanced it. I can only imagine trying to deal with them if the rack would have been damaged in shipping.
