[urq] URQ windshield gasket group buy update

[Martin Pajak]

I can tell you they are not the only ones!
I have countless examples of US companies who refuse to ship to Canada.
Why I ask... because they could not be shagged to fill out a customs form...
WTF??

Cheers

Nope this is how most German companies act when dealing with foreigners.

</div><div> </div>They are available and I can do a second run. I have one
gasket mostly prepaid from the first run.

However, I was really hoping that one of our UK list members would intervene
and offer a solution from their country. It is a royal pain to work with the
German company. Friendly and all, but extremely laid back and unresponsive.

I think they are using Google translate. So when I say to them "I need 30
gaskets right away and I will pay you right now" it must translate to "When
you get around to it in a month or two, please sell me 10 gaskets. Pretty
please, when you've got the time."

now until the factory in Germany can tell me when the next batch (15+) that
we need will be ready. When I first contacted them, either they didn’t think
I was serious or maybe they thought that I couldn’t pull so many people
together so quickly.
