bah and I missed this!

I was more then interested in the 3800sc badge

3800 SC/IC Fiero Goin' pearl blue...

Hi all-

Linda Rogers here on behalf of Andrew........

The badges are being manufactured as I type this. They raised the price (b@st@rds) when they realized the amount of work that was involved. He sent an e-mail that 3 were done, and we hoped that it was the 3 special order ones. This is killing Andrew as much as it is you guys. He's sorry he's not here to harrass them. Thanks for hanging in there.

When is he expected back? It'll be good to hear from him again

We miss Andrew!

Thanks for the update. I was wondering about this as I thought they were supposed to be done a while back (originally told a time frame of 3-4 weeks, not 3-4 months). So does this mean that we will need to pay more for our badges other than the amount we paid? And finally any idea on any ship dates on these?

Thanks again,

David Heinke

Anyone gotten anything yet???? Not saying I am smelling a scam, but when this all started, we were told 3-4 weeks before delivery would begin. That has been closer to 3-4 MONTHS now and nothing. Then almost a month ago, we hear that some are done and that production is "being manufactured as I type this"

So again, anyone gotten anything yet.....

Starting to really lose faith in this project and vendor.

If anyone has received anything, I will feel better about this, but until someone can confirm ANYTHING, well, it is not looking to good so far.
And I am not trying to be offensive towards anyone, it is just gone far beyond any reasonable expectation with very little communication and zero results.
David

I am also interested in an update or something.

I talked with Linda on the phone last week. Andrew is doing well and should be getting out of jail pretty soon (sometime this month we hope) if everything goes right. Don't have any details on the badges as I didn't ask. I imagine that Linda has her hands pretty full right now keeping the household together and doing all of the "single mother" stuff.

Yes I suppose she does have a handful.

But, when this all started, the idea sold to us was that we were not waiting for him to get out of jail for any progress to be made on these. Again, they were supposed to be shipped in 3-4 weeks. If that was not to be, then he should not of accepted orders till after he got out of jail.

Just a cynic who has been burned to many times and have never dealt with him before, but it looks like he figured out a income stream to hold everything over while he was in jail. Again, that is something I wouldn't have minded, but I dislike the inappropriately long time line. If I was told, "hey, I am taking orders now, getting everything lined up, but won't ship for the next 5 months untill this is all carried over", well I would have understood and still ordered / prepayed for the set. I just don't like being lied to about stuff.
True, he might not have had as many orders, but he would certainly probably have more reorders in the future.

I hope this all works out for everyone involved, but I don't have a lot of confidence right now. For those that know Linda, I would suggest that you contact her and let her know she should address this situation and let us know where things stand. People usually don't mind delays as long as they are being told why.

i don't know the whole story behind this and im sure he's a good guy... but why is anyone dealing with someone who's in trouble with the law... im sure it has nothing to do with anything related to these badges... just doesn't seem to make sense to me... ah well.

I wasn't trying to make excuses or speak for somebody else. I'll leave that to Andrew. Just wanted everybody to know that he should be out soon and he hasn't skipped the country or anything.

so a month ago they were being made.. really looking for an update -

I hope you all get your orders as soon as possible.Andrew was honest about his situation, and I am sure he will come through.
Just would like to point out an anomaly that is going on here on PFF.I realise that it is normal for folks to get upset when their own money is involved...and yet there is a deafening silence surrounding a certain Hurricane Katrina Charity Project that has been slowly dropping off the edge of the Forum...A car and parts, and Member contributions that seem to have been misappropriated. Or just gone wrong.Whatever has happened, there has been no communication from the instigator of the project for many many weeks.If the project cannot be completed, the donations should be returned to their rightful owners. I cannot understand why it apparently attracts no comment or interest.Is the car still there? Or can nothing at all be done about securing and completing the project.
Sorry to hijack the thread, but it is confusing, to say the least.

That is a very good point. I never heard much about the hurricane project but I remember seeing a lot of threads about it and haven't seen a lick since.

I'm a little curious on the time line of his sentence. I remember in his thread explaining his situation he would serve 3 months. That thread came about in January. I believe he left at the end of January or start of February. Here we are one week into May. Thats about 4 months, shouldn't he be out by now? Just getting anxious for my badges, its that time of season! Hope everything is alright with Andrew and look forward to his return!

Just another bump to see if by any chance anyone has heard anything. As each week goes by my belief in this deal is getting less and less.

Going to check my mail!

(edit) - nope, not here yet, but it is good to see that at least one made it to the owner. I am not in a huge hurry... simply because I am not sure what I am going to do with mine yet. Put it on the car, or adore while it sits on a shelf.

Yes, it is true...it appears as though I am the first to receive my badge, and damn am I happy. Even at $129, this was a bargain. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I never lost faith in Andrew or Linda, they're both wonderful people and very honest. I had no problem sending Andrew a week's paycheck, because I know that he would never do anything to scam or rip off anybody. That, and I knew his family needed the money. Bravo Linda and Andrew!

Hope has now reared its ugly head!!!!!!!

Now we are just waiting for F-I-E-R-O to raise his ugly head .

LOL

You think he's ugly? You should see me!!! Then again maybe not. LOL

Linda Rogers here.......I apologize for the lack of communication regarding the badges. The company that manufactured the badges went WAY past the promise date. The job was much bigger than they anticipated. My fault for not communicating. Please do not hold Andrew accountable. Most of the badges have been shipped. Andrew is due home on the 26th, which is 3 weeks later than he was told. Since this is the first batch that were made, I guess we should have expected some glitches. Again, I am very sorry for not staying in touch and keeping everyone up to speed. Believe me, when I had trouble getting answers from the vendor, I was feeling pretty much the same way as some of you. Thanks for the patience.

Andrew has only been able to see the finished product at a distance. He's very impressed with the quality, as I'm sure you all will. There are some issues with who ordered which badge, but he'll be able to get these rectified late next week. Thanks for hanging in there and having faith in him.

quote Originally posted by F-I-E-R-O: ...Most of the badges have been shipped. ...

Linda, can you please PM / E-mail me at mcaanda@sbcglobal.net to make sure that mine has shipped, and if not I need to update the address that the badge is going to.

Thanx!

Thanks for the info Linda. I'm sure happy he'll be back soon. Not near as happy as you are though. Could you please drop me a line to let me know the status on my badges? timo.penrod@pennet-it.com


Thanks

Timo

I want in when the next batch of badges are ordered!!

Project Fiero GT 2M8 Update thread

Linda, thanks for the update! At least now you have a firm release date. We'll be in touch.

Gordo

if you need any confirmation information for what badge i ordered and where to ship it just let me know..
thanks for the update

can someone make a desktop sized picture of the fiero emblems? all the pics i see are small, and blowing them up just pixilates them and looks shitty.

Glad to hear Andrew willl be back soon!

Well, I got mine today. Kinda. I ordered two. Got one. Called Linda at her work, left a message. Haven't heard anything back yet.

The one I got is looking mighty nice, but would have really liked to get both that I ordered and paid for.

We will see how that turns out.

David

I never doubted ya for a minute
I know Andrew, and know he would not screw us over

I am glad he will be home soon, and I must say Linda, you are a remarkable woman for staying with him thru all of this.
Many women would leave for less.

Kudos to you both!!!

Your Friend,
Randy

I got the final proof to agree on right before he left, and didn't send the money because I couldn't get the final details of the timetable, etc. Since he still has the proof, are you still able to have it made? If so, I'll send the $$$.

Thanks,
Greg

------------------

I want one please email me or PM me.

I would still be leary of this deal if you have not already been sucked into it. Like I said. I paid darn near $250 for two custom badges, got one, have left message, get no reply. Customer service right now is running a strong D-

I hope Linda contacts me at some point about this, but am getting nothing back yet.
