All: If you are receiving this email, you are one of the members of the 2013 RDL group buy list. If you have been following the thread on the Vulcan Bagger Forum, you are aware that RDL began taking orders for the 2013 group buy today, November 26, 2012. If you have not been following the thread, here is the information you need to know in order to have a chance at successfully ordering a Russell Day Long seat at the offered 20% discount. This year there are a couple of alterations as to how RDL has done group buys in the past. RDL will honor the group buy effort, but will not restrict themselves to following the group buy list's order. Basically what this means is... the fact that you are number two on the group buy list means nothing as to how your order will be received and processed by RDL. Here is the direction given by RDL:RDL will process orders in the order the company receives them.Orders must be placed on-line or by fax (fax number is 530-275-5465) between November 26, 2012 and November 30, 2012. Orders will be accepted between those dates only. No phone orders will be accepted. NO EXCEPTIONS! Orders dated before or after those dates will not be accepted for the group buy. NO EXCEPTIONS!The group buy is open to all makes and models of motorcycles, but will be limited to the first 125 orders received. Only new seat orders will apply, no rebuilds or recovers will be accepted. ONLY ONE ORDER PER CUSTOMER WILL BE ALLOWED! NO RIDE IN APPOINTMENTS ALLOWED!You must specify on the order where it says production date, "GROUP BUY 2013". Orders without this will not be scheduled under the group buy. NO EXCEPTIONS!Production dates will be scheduled in December and January only. NO EXCEPTIONS OR RESCHEDULING! Dates will be scheduled on a first come, first serve basis and you will be notified by email of your scheduled date for the "Group Buy 2013" once the order is received.Discount for the group buy is 20% off the seat order. DOES NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING!You must send RDL your stock seat for the new build by your scheduled production date. RDL does not have seat pans available.Well... there you go. I want to thank everyone for their patience as we worked through this process. In closing, I want to remind each of you that your position on the group buy list does not guarantee that you will be receiving the group buy discount. The first 125 group buy orders will be determined by the order they are received, NOT YOUR POSITION ON THE LIST. I just want to make that that very clear, so there’s no misunderstanding. In the past, RDL has had less than 70% of people that are on the group buy lists actually go through with ordering a seat. The people on the list that are past the 125 cut-off do not bother to order a seat because they felt they missed out on the group buy. This is why RDL decided not to follow the list order, but take the first 125 orders that come in. This was their condition for accepting our group buy. Again... someone that is number 1 on the list and submits their order after RDL has received 125 orders will not get the discount, where someone that is number 164 on the list and submits their order in the first 125 RDL receives will get the discount. Do not procrastinate. Get your orders in as soon as possible to give yourself the best chance of getting this great discount. Good Luck!
