[font="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"]Great news....it's the 4th of March and I can now give you all details for this having spoken to Pilkington earlier.[/font]
[font="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"]First of all, because we have been so good at drumming up interest for these there are too many to place on order for only a couple of people to make payment up front. This means several things:[/font]
[ol][*]
[font="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"]We're all making payment to Pilkington individually (see below for instructions). This means we can all get them sent to our local Pilkington depot's and can collect free of charge if we so wish...meaning that it's £25 less than we anticipated.[/font][*]
[font="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"]The lead time may be a bit longer because they're being shipped. Pilkington will confirm this when the orders are placed.[/font][*]
[font="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"]If there are any issues, Pilkington will provide great support because they are now planning on stocking them in the UK given the interest we have drummed up.[/font][/ol][font="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"]So, the instructions are as follows:[/font]
[font="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"]
Please send an e-mail quoting "944 Saratoga Panel Group Buy (Tom Fripp)" to the following address:[/font]

Choose your local Pilkington depot from this list (see [link=https://www.pilkington.com/en-gb/uk/automotive/automotive-glass-replacement/pilkington-automotive-uk-wholesale]here[/link] for details) for free pick up[/font]
[font="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"]
- Contact telephone number[/font]
[font="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"]You will then be contacted by e-mail with a pro-forma invoice from Pilkington. You will need to make payment for the roof panel and once all orders have been received, Pilkington will ship the order and confirm a lead time. On the assumption that 15 people or more make payment in full, the total will be £418.27 (inc VAT) if you are picking it up from your local depot, otherwise you will need to pay an additional £25 for delivery. You will need to do this within 1 week from today, if the order has reached 15 units or more after 1 week, the order will be placed irrespective of your name being on the interested list on this forum....we can't wait forever gent's, just take a look out the window......clearly summer is only just round the corner!! [][/font]
[font="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"]One further note: please, please, if you have put your name on the list contact Pilkington and make the payment. If less than 15 people from the list do this, we're all going to have to pay more and all our hard work will be down the proverbial![/font]
[font="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"] [/font]
[font="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"]Thanks folks! Please feel free to circulate to other forums at will.[/font]
