That's programas job to do not us, we already setup 25 buyer, they want everything done for them, at this point I have no trust for them, oh jeez can you imagine going through a Return for defective unit, what a headache with them on that, forget it

They just want the money pooled together on one invoice...correct?
If that's the only issue then pool the money into a PayPal account..include everyone's info and your done..if there are issues everyone is on the invoice.

here's another option: https://www.tilt.com/
everyone pays their share to reach the goal ($450 X 25 = $11,250) within a certain time (say 3 days).
if the goal is not reached because people flake, no one is charged.
If it goes though, who ever sets it up has everyones info who paid through tilt

At this point, I'm just gonna see if Bokix sets it up, if not just bite the bullet and pay $499 for it. It's still better than paying 700-1000 for it

Kinda makes me want to say forget it, nobody should buy from them. It's their loss, and with a purpose.
Just forward them this link so they can see all the negativity.

I agree and feel like I got what they wanted and I said money is money , 1 invoice or 100
In the end it's over 11k.
Screw it man
I did this stupid thing for nothing and was gonna get everyone here a deal. I don't even want to talk to them again
They got free advertising as far as I'm concerned and took advantage!

This is the best way to do it. The Tilt group pay service has high ratings and its free. Everyone needs to include their contact info, MBWorld Username, & shipping address in the comments box along with their payment. All we need from the salesrep at programma is account info to receive the single payment from Tilt. I don't see any reason why this should be hard. Not sure why programma is making this more complicated and difficult then necessary.. and not rly sure how they approve the group buy but are unable to follow through and setup a way to collect the payments

This link says "refurbished" up top.

That's why I asked if they had them in stock, or is this just a classic stall tactic.
Either way what ever happen to the Botox option for a few dollar less?
Patience is running thin and we haven't even began trying to collect payment from all 25....Should have this wrapped up in a few months if we are lucky.

I'll pm you his info and you can deal with him. I don't want to deal with that company. Any company that doesn't care about 11k in dead stock (let's face it, it's an old platform) can keep it. I can't believe I had to chase them to give them our money, hahaha
I could just imagine how horrible their customer service must be after a sale.

Just buy it straight from Programa, thats what I did. $499 is still a great deal. And I got lucky cause mine says renntech on it lol. Just incase if some of you guys didnt know, programa made the renntech lowering modules.

I'm about to just do the same.. I don't want to wait around forever for this ...I'll consider this extra $50 as an "expedite fee" ..pretty scummy on programma's part, but w.e I just want the damn part

I won't, it's the principle of it, they got free advertising here and didnt hold their end of the bargain. oh well, they will not get the 25 that I know
#195
They lost my business for the same reason, I thought Hulk was gonna be asked to package and ship them next to make things easier. Renntech sticker or not makes no difference. They will be probably be $399 soon enough and $299 by black Friday.

^^^^ this, the longer they wait the cheaper the product will get. Wrong thing to do to hold onto dead inventory. Oh well, good luck to them

I was setting up a group buy and told them we had the 25 all ready to pay and I had to run after the guy and ended up calling twice to finally get answers lol

I can't believe you have to chase them down to give them $$. ($11k) As you said the car is getting older and this is just going to become old stock for them? Oh Well, I've managed this long with the car being lowered via star, so its really no biggie?
They need to get some new PR people.
