And that's a wrap for this first group buy! A lot more interest than I thought there would be, so thanks to everyone who has put their name down.

Unfortunately I'm afraid there's going to be a bit more of a wait yet, as our supplier is having an unplanned eye operation this week and won't be able to work for a couple of weeks while he recovers.

As soon as we're able to place the order, I'll update this thread to collect payment from you all, but I don't want to start doing that just yet until I've had confirmation we can proceed.
So, is this actually going to happen or is it being moved to the (ever growing) pile of things which PH/Haymarket can't be arsed with?
Of all the suppliers to choose from it just had to be a one man band of course.

Nice. Let's hear it for the impatient guy rolleyes

Thanks for organising this BenLowden. I think most of us can wait without letting it spoil our plans for the Spring wink

Oh I'm really sorry if I come over as impatient but, having heard so many patronising apologies and empty excuses in the last couple of years from the disinterested lords of PH you'll have to excuse me for seeming sceptical!
If you'd been a member for a longer time you'd understand how PH used to be!

It is going to happen, yes. Unfortunately our sticker supplier is a one man band, so until he has recovered we'll just have to wait. I've had several opportunities to move to bigger suppliers, but personally I like supporting someone who has always delivered and provided a great service.

I'm doing this in my own time to help give something back to loyal PHers. We're pretty much making enough money to cover materials/postage. I'm sorry that you feel disappointed by this, but don't judge me based on other experiences you may have had.

Cheers for that Ben! thumbup
It's just that so many things at PH seem to be ignored these days I made an assumption without realising that there is still someone on the team who is watching out for us! getmecoat

There are still plenty of us that care and love the brand, but you don't need me to tell you that resource is very scarce at the moment. Also worth pointing out that I (and many others on the team) work across all of our Automotive brands so I only have so much time I can spend on PH. But I came here because I used to live on the site and very much want to protect PistonHeads and allow others to continue to enjoy it too! thumbup

UPDATE: Good news – our supplier has recovered from his eye operation and is ready to get going, so it's time to call a halt on this first group buy.

Therefore can you all send me payment by Sunday 13th May and I'll get the order placed on the 14th. Send the correct money for your order to ben.lowden@haymarket.com through PayPal, along with the following details:

  • Real name
  • Username (this is case sensitive, so however you send it to me is how it will be cut)
  • Confirmation of size (standard or extended pair), quantity and colour
  • Your postal address
As a reminder, the pricing is as follows (there are no discounts for multiples):

Standard pair – 2" smiley with up to 12 characters per sticker – £6.00 delivered UK
Extended pair – 2" smiley with up to 20 characters per sticker – £7.50 delivered UK

If I haven't received payment by midnight on Sunday 13th May, I'm afraid you'll be missed off the order. Sorry there's no easier way to do it, I wish there was! Perhaps it's something we'll be able to simplify in the future, but for now, thanks for all the interest and I look forward to seeing your photos thumbup
