yes updates please

*Jeff240sx* · 01-28-2005, 01:34 AM

Update: NFC. I'm told I'll have a tracking number on the DHL shipment next week. But.. I was told it shipped a while ago. So I'm not really sure.
Anyway, the dealer I'm going through is the guy I get my Ebay lights from, and I do ~$50k a year in business with him. I'm 100% sure he's not out to get me, however, this was the first order on HIDs, and I'm sure it will be the last from that company/supplier (who I am in the dark on..).
So.. once I hear something concrete (like the tracking number, or the call saying it cleared customs), I'll post it. Until then, it's hearsay, from the dealer telling me what the manufacturer told him. And it seems to always be the same thing. Which is the reason I haven't updated.
Anyway, both my dealer and I are really pissed about this massive delay.
-Jeff

*Jeff240sx* · 01-31-2005, 10:55 AM

Ok. DHL says they have it at the port (in Florida) and are awaiting customs. I'm told tomorrow, Wednesday at the latest they'll deliver it to my door.
So. I feel ok to accept the remaining 1/2 payments.
PM/Email me if you have any questions. Otherwise, please send the remaining $135 ($145 for you who ordered 4200K) to me. I'll be shipping these in batches of 5, in order to cut down fuel costs of going to the post office (remember, I make $10 - shipping charges). I just don't want to make 13 trips to the post office for 13 consecutive days.

usdms14 · 01-31-2005, 12:42 PM

KiDyNomiTe · 01-31-2005, 02:21 PM

Ya whats your paypal, and are you just shipping with basic?

*Jeff240sx* · 01-31-2005, 03:33 PM

[email protected] is my paypal info.

Am I shipping with "basic"? If you need rush shipping (as I said.. I don't have these in my hands, but according to DHL, I will this week), let me know and I'll get a quote for you.
-Jeff

kandyflip445 · 01-31-2005, 03:48 PM

Can you PM you your addy again so I can send you another MO. I owe you 140 don't I?

*Jeff240sx* · 01-31-2005, 06:37 PM

Sure and yes.
-Jeff

*Jeff240sx* · 01-31-2005, 07:30 PM

Guys. Please remember that the $135 is without a paypal fee. The total via paypal is $139.50, and $149.90 for those of you who ordered 4200K.
I've recieved 2 payents so. Those people need to send another $4.50.
Finally, please ENSURE THAT THE PAYPAL ADDRESS IS THE CORRECT SHIPPING ADDRESS!! That's really important. If not.. UPDATE YOUR PAYPAL ADDRESS! Checks should have the the shipping address on the envelope, or better.. on a separate page.
-Jeff

silvia lover · 01-31-2005, 11:17 PM

just curious are you ship it out by priority mail when someone mentioned basic (which i use priority for any of my packages). and are you start ship out the hid by this coming wednesday or thursday? many question but hope you can answer it. thz and have a good day.

*Jeff240sx* · 01-31-2005, 11:21 PM

I don't know when I'll ship. When I get the lights, I'll ship 5 at a time. I think first class postal is what I'll use. Priority is twice as much, and usually 2-3 days rather than 3-5. So.. it's not twice as fast.. I won't pay twice as much.
-Jeff

MasterOFDrift · 02-01-2005, 02:01 AM

*Jeff240sx* · 02-01-2005, 09:31 AM

I've got them in my apartment. So.. comming Thursday, I'll ship out the first batch. I have 5 people paid in full, but I have 2 tests today, and a class schedule tomorrow where I get out of class after the post office closes.
-Jeff

KiDyNomiTe · 02-01-2005, 10:13 AM

*Jeff240sx* · 02-01-2005, 03:08 PM

Thanks guys!

NinjaGaiden · 02-03-2005, 09:58 PM

just sent payment under [email protected]

thanks!

*Jeff240sx* · 02-04-2005, 01:15 AM

Got it. I just got a chance to open the DHL box, and they're Kaixen kits. These kits are more expensive usually (i.e. not sold on ebay), and from reading about them, people like them.
If you need info on these, check the groupbuy v2 thread. There is a pic, some tech specs from their site, and the new $290 shipped price. I got the Kaixen because that's who my dealer wanted to go through from now on, and apparently got an intro special (the $260/set this gb was set upon).
Anyway, I've emailed everyone whose paid. I just want to let other people know.
If this change isn't acceptable, and you are dead-set on XD7 bulbs, PM me or email me. Please don't crap up my thread.
-Jeff

kandyflip445 · 02-04-2005, 06:13 AM

My e-mail is [email protected]. So you only got those 3 color temps?

CO S13 · 02-05-2005, 12:05 PM

I'm sending out my payment today.

4 temps. I just can't count.
-Jeff

*Jeff240sx* · 02-05-2005, 01:05 PM

What a pain in the ass this has turned out to be. I was boxing up these lights and then saw a pretty big issue:
The manufacturers are apparently allowed to make up their own color temperatures, and colors that go with it. So, XD7 called 8500k purple, and 6500k blue. This is incorrect to any other company, and so the Kaixen are backwards. This means that the 8500k kit will be blue (Crystal Blue). And conversely, the 6500k will be purple (Crystal Purple) So, not wanting anyone to be upset, I'm offering to order a new set of HIDs for you. Before you answer, look at:

If you've had a change of mind and want to keep your 8500K (blue) bulbs, email me and let me know. However, if you want the purple 6500K, email me. Once I place the order, it's a 1 week turnaround time from Kaixen (another reason we went with them).

Also, for those who ordered 4200K. Kaixen doesn't make 4000k anything. 6000K is as low as they go (see pic above). It's called Crystal White. And didn't cost me the extra $10, so if you want a refund, you'll get everything back. If you want the 6000K, I owe you $10.30.
So. If those who ordered 4200K, if 6000K is unacceptable, I can only refund your money. Those who ordered purple 8500K, I was shipped blue 8500K. Part of this is my fault, as my dealer told me he had 8500K in his Tahoe, however, I'm colorblind, and assumed it was purple. It's blue according to him and my g/f. But the 8500/6500 switchup, let me know the step you'd like me to take. I can ship out the opposite color, or if you're willing to wait a week, I can order the correct set.
Those of you with 7500K, I'm shipping out Monday after class. Goddamn what a headache.
-Jeff

kandyflip445 · 02-05-2005, 01:39 PM

Yaaaay. I'm getting mine first

silvia lover · 02-05-2005, 06:26 PM

just curious you mentioned the 6000k are crystal white, but somehow on the pic you posted, the 6000k looks really similiar to 6500k (which kind of purplish to me). do you happen to have any pic of the 6000k? really appreciate that.
