where's Gordon?

I'm a little confused at the comments regarding expected delivery of rims - I just missed the December 15th order cutoff when I ordered mine, and the next cutoff date listed was the 15th of February, with an expected ETA in Perth mid-April. Not sure how long they'll take to get to me in VIC, but I'm not expecting to see them until late April (hopefully in time for the GOE training weekend in VIC).

If they were ordered before December 15th, I agree you should have them by now. Unless there was a January order I didn't see on the GOE page...?

Received a phone call from carriers today. Tried to deliver Friday but no one home. Will be delivering 5 new GOE rims tomorrow.
Mine were in the shipment that was partially wrecked last year, so I have been waiting since last July.
I did volunteer to wait so I am not complaining, just happy to get them
cheers

G'day Gang.

I have received communication from Gordon as no doubt many of you have. The factory producing the rims had not allowed enough time to fully fulfil Gordon's order. This particularly relates to the colour grey.There will be another production run in April.Rather than freight by ship,Gordon has opted to air freight these. He is trying hard to source the colour black by negotiating with known UK stockists.

Well that's not what he told me. He was supposed to be finding out the tracking number so I could find out where the hell my wheels are. I have heard nothing else and was led to believe they were on their way from Perth. I am quickly losing patience. I know he has suffered a personal loss and I feel for him but I don't like being led up the garden path. I will attempt to ring him tomorrow and if he doesn't respond, I want my money back.

Mate I know Gordon quite well.
He isn't the type of bloke who would even think about leading anybody up the garden path.

I agree with Andrew. I have only met Gordon once but he struck me as straight up and down. This has been confirmed by contacts I have had with him re purchases and also with the issues with rim delivery.
Patience is a virtue and sometimes nowadays we tend to forget that.

Nice bloke, very knowledgable. But he has a crap memory for faces. [emoji1]That might extend to other things.
I drove him a couple of places around Brisbane when he was over here. After getting out of my car, to meet up with a training group, I walked over to join the group and he asked what car I was in. I thought it was a trick question.
My car was so peeved it spat a tranny just after that. All good now.

Well this is getting beyond a joke. I ordered the wheels on the 19 Dec and was told an end of Jan delivery. I accept reasonable delays etc but he never replies to emails and when I finally got hold of him over a week ago I was told my wheels had been sent from Perth and he was gong get back to me with a tracking number so I could contact TNT and find out where they are. I have been emailing him again this week and no response. I start leave at the end of next week and I want to have the wheels and new tyres fitted. I will ring him tomorrow and if he doesn't answer I will be taking steps to get a refund and put some decent rubber on my 20" rims.

I believe I have been very patient but when someone tells you that the wheels have been shipped and they will get back to you with a tracking number I expect that they will. My front tyres on the D4 need replacing ASAP. Do I just buy a couple of 20" tyres and be patient so my car is roadworthy. I was told when I ordered the rims that I would have them by the end of January. If I paid an extra $600 I could of had them sooner. I was prepared to wait and I would wait longer if Gordon actually replied to emails and kept me informed. I am sorry but perhaps I am not very virtuous.

Unfortunately I'm in the same boat and I paid the extra to have them sent direct. It's pretty rubbish having coughed up almost $4k with nothing to show for it. Sadly left in the dark as well with poor return communication.
