GOBI Roof Rack *Group Buy* Winter 2015

[bloodninja]

Reminder to all: Be patient. You having saved so much money is the trade off for having to wait a bit longer.

I order nov 29, got email saying it will be delivered in 4-8 weeks! Seems quick.

I had said it multiple times before (the canned 4-8 weeks stated in the "order received email" is not correct and should be ignored) that please expect at least 12 weeks of production lead time especially for the people who order closer to the closing dates. There may be a few fortunate ones who ordered towards the beginning of the group buy who will get their rack under the 12 weeks mark, but those are also the guys who signed up onto the GB as soon as the "feeler" was up; ie. they had been instrumental to the originally forming of this GB.

Please don't work yourself up.

Just got a call to schedule the drop off. Fingers crossed but, I should receive it tomorrow between 1pm-5pm.

I followed the last gobi group buy and most people received theirs 8-12 weeks after ordering. Let's just all be happy with money [MENTION=119516]jicko[/MENTION] saved us :wink2:

It did arrive at around 4:30pm. Solid packaging but, didn't have a chance to install the rack yet but I put on the ladder first thing this morning.

Nice! Hopefully I receive mine before my trip up to Tahoe.

mine arrived today at 11am. I had to run back to work though, so haven't opened anything. Luckily the weather is warm all this weekend here in KC so I hope to get it all on by end of the weekend.

I believe I got mine shipped to my mailbox across the border.

Long story, I was one of the first to sign up for this group buy. I called Trail Duty to get me a shipping quote to Canada. They told me they have to contact Gobi directly to get me a shipping quote. I called them every week to see and kept being told they haven't heard back. End of November comes and the group buy is about to close I decide to get a mailbox across the border and make my order. I call them and give my two cents but in a nice way since they helped us with this group buy.

In the end, it was shipped to my mailbox. Just got to make a trip to pick it up

Thank you Jicko for setting this up!

just delivered

 

[bjohnston115]

Awesome... Now i need to figure out where to put that huge box/crate when i get mine. Pretty difficult living in an apartment! Who are they using for shipping?

 

[mtomaro]

My order confirmation email is time stamped 7 minutes after the very first round order message was sent by jicko. I really find it hard to believe that I didn't make the first group of racks going out....

Oh well... :violin::sobbing:

I'm sure one of the members here would've been willing to land a hand if mailbox was the biggest issue.
I would have.

Place called Axiom delivered it to me from a flat bed truck

 

[jhmiller]

In my case, I need to be as up to date as possible since mine is being shipped to a shop which will rhino it for me; I have to update the shop as soon as I have any info.

Foques, mind me asking what they quoted you to do the Rhino lining on it?

It is being done by a good friend of mine; his shop management is the one that's riding our butts.
