Ferrari.uk SCHEDULED GROUP BUYS???

I've got to order some parts from Ferrari.uk. Am wondering if some others would like to add some items to the order so we could spread the shipping costs over multiple purchases?

Am also wondering if we'd like to make this a regular (say Monthly) occurrance. The schedule could be flexible so that if someone needs something quickly we could add all items since the last order to that date & place the order.

With our combined buying power, we might be able to negotiate a 'FerrariChat-NE' discount.

I'll be placing my order on Wednesday, so the parts should arrive for this weekend.

If you want to participate, post the Quantity, Ferrari P/N, description & ferrari.uk's price to this thread. Easiest is to just copy it from Ferrari.UK's description, eg:

Qty: 1 #106777 CROWN WHEEL BOLT
Unit price: £15.20

I propose that the shipping charges are divided equally among each buy's participants unless someone orders something really big that results in an exceptionally large chargs.

Anyone want in on this week's order?

 

BTW, Ferrari.uk has parts currently available for the following model series:

Ferrari 308
Ferrari 328
Ferrari GTO
Ferrari Mondial
Ferrari 400
Ferrari 412
Ferrari 246
Ferrari 208
Ferrari 365 GT4 BB
Ferrari 512

 

Billh,
See my eMAIL containing Jeff Howe's question about your TR's model.

 

This is the latch at the front driver's side cover of the soft top:

#61758500 ROOF CATCH ADJ TYPE
Unit price: £203.50 (~$370.00 US)
Quantity required: 2
This part supersedes: 61252000


BTW, I won't be sending the order in until later this week, or this weekend.
Am awaiting a response from Ferrari.uk on BillH's inquiry about a kit of major service parts for his TR.

 

Bill, Ferrari.uk doesn't have pre-defined service kits the way T.Rutlands does. Malcolm was kind enough to pull a 'catalog' you can select from. Not sure the tabs are going to work properly here, but hopefuly it's legible. Will fwd Malcom's eMAIL when I get home tonite.

Stilll haven't put the order in, am holding off until I can try cutting threads on a stock bolt & test it in the differential.

Right now all I have mondial86's roof latch + my stuff.

Price isn't everything, & Dennis, et. al are going to have to replenish their stock eventually, most likely from ferrari.uk at dealer prices. That will probably equalize pricing before long.

Anyway, this is the ferrari.uk group buy thread. You're welcome to start a Dennis McCann group buy thread as well.

 

Didn't say that prices weren't of concern, just that they weren't the ONLY concern. Also, They're a strong technical supporter of FChat, in many cases have provided tech info that was otherwise unavailable. That's worth something also.

Ferrari.uk has generally had competetive prices, AND they are about the only source for many many parts as they have the entire Ferrari factory 3x8 end-of-life inventory, 51 TONs of it. If they don't have it, usually it's NLA.

In many cases, getting the trans-atlantic shipping costs amortized over several orders makes them competetive.

Sorry if this order seems to be dragging out. My Magnaflux kit just arrived so I'll be placing it as soon as I finish checking my differential bolts & know how many I'll need to order. Hopefully late this weekend or early next week if I don't loose too much time clearing snow!

Let me know if this is becoming a problem tho.

 

It's now on the list. Looks like the order is going in later this week (at last).
Probably will eMAIL it to Malcolm West Thurs or Friday PM.

 

Am putting the order together this afternoon fer sure.
So if you need anything post it before 4:00 or wait for the next round.

 

Hello,
Anyone want to get in on a group buy in March?

 

Birdman, Mondial86,
UPS tracking indicates that the long-awaited Ferrari.UK group buy will arrive next Tuesday.

It's processing was held up due to Jeff Howe's absence. Exchanged eMAIL with Richard Jordan, his replacement early last week confirming the order & apologizing for the delay. According to him he was cleaning up a 600 order backlog due to Jeff's absence!

 

Just spoke with FedEx, the ferrari.uk shipment is working it's way thru US customs. Because it's for 'personal use', it'll take 3-5 days(sigh). Alternative is to declare it commercial & pay 'significantly more' duties.

Thought I'd be putting my differential together tonite(sigh). Guess I'll cast some more parts for my unobtainium business, or fix the broken garage door spring. Luckily it missed the 308 & Cindy's when it went! New springs get safety cables fer sure!


Feel free to post parts you want ordered in the next ferrari.uk group buy.
