Still haven't received my JDM headlights from Gruppe-S

Gruppe-S had a JDM EVO HEADLIGHTS group buy back in the month of May. It has been 14 or so weeks since I placed my order. I look around and a bunch of vendors & shops already have the jdm headlights IN STOCK and available for sale.

Plus a person on socalevo.net said they got their jdm headlights back in July.

I have not yet gotten any responses from Gruppe-S about my order.

All back orders will be filled when our container from Japan comes in w/in the next few weeks. We apologize for the delay as we are at the mercy of the container being delivered. As soon as it arrives, we will be shipping the items out.

During our previous shipment, we were not able to fill the orders as the HID housings were on backorder over in Japan. This next shipment will allow us to fill those orders that we were unable to provide and fill those orders that came in after.

thank you for your patience and confidence in us.

16 weeks and still counting

This bugs me because I was not notified of anything. 8, 10, 12, 14 weeks go by and I've heard nothing from you guys. During that time, multiple vendors like 500whp, Fizz Auto, Speed Element, JonDemand, SRT, C2auto pop up with jdm headlights in stock and for sale. While people are buying them, I'm still waiting for the headlights which I dont know when or if they will show up. That makes me feel totally dumb.

I've had nothing but good interactions with Gruppe-s though. Ordered Advan rims and gauges from them.

I never buy anything if it's not in stock (unless I wasn't told).

Hey Positron, sorry again for the wait. Your lights will be here in a couple of days. If you are local you can pick up from us, or we can ship out to you. Let us know what you prefer.

Thanks,
Gruppe-S

§ 12.4. You Have The Right To A Full Refund For Shipping Delays

The FTC Rule also requires that the company must notify you of any shipping delays and remind you that you have the right to cancel your order and receive a full refund. It must also provide you with an easy way of letting it know you want to cancel, such as a pre-addressed postcard or toll-free telephone number. If you decide to cancel, you must notify the company. Silence on your part indicates you are willing to wait for the merchandise. The company must refund your money within seven business days of cancellation. If you made the purchase by credit card, it must adjust your statement by the next billing period.

Jdm Evo 9 Mr Lighting! Headlights $599! Tail Lights $349! Combo $899! Ends 05-08-07!
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=266435

All parties must place a minimum 50% deposit. Group buy must meet a minimum of 10 participants. Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery. Group buy ends on Tuesday, May 8th, 2007.
I didn't receive any notification about my order being delayed. I only got a response from them is when I posted my question on EvolutionM asking about the status.
