Well watching the bidding today they are way low even on the runners and a good deal going as not sold. I am sure people really do not one that is not running or is for parts and will have to wait 3 months to get it. Maybe this will send a message....
Something I found on the GP web site that kind of shocked me:
Sales of DLA Disposition Services origin property for which EUCs have not been approved by TSC within 60 days of submission will be canceled by IronPlanet at our sole discretion without liquidated damages to the Buyer."
Things are...
Jwade, Thanks for joining in. I think that the short term fix to keep people from walking away is not paying until the EUC clears. Always remember, follow the money. They want money, get them to do their job is a realistic timeframe. There is no incentive to get the job done when you/they have...
From the latest call, the process is they take from the top of the pile, each time they send over another 50 or so applications it gets put on TOP of the pile. So unless they have a good week and get past the new "top" people with the older auctions will be waiting longer and longer...
Stop...
I spoke to them yesterday and they were really helpful. However they no longer have access to the system that listed all the work done on any of the reman HUMVEEs.
What I was told is that EVERY HUMVEE that they did was given a body off restore. New or remaned motor and drive train. Upgraded...
Maybe by end of year I will get approval. As the GP rep here said the backlog keeps growing. On a good note that may help light a fire under their back side to find a solution and stop just blaming TSC, Gary Gastele who wrote on Fox how the HUMVEE sales are such a success has heard how upset...
I have asked about the why do I see people getting approval many weeks faster than mine, "oh it is with the gov we have no control" tired of that excuse for everything. I can say I will not buy anything else from GP that requires an EUC. I have lost all faith in GP
I think at this point GP should think about refunding some or all of their "processing" fee as they sure as heck are not "processing" things in a timely manner. To make it better Fox News who ran all the stories about the HUMVEEs being sold has caught wind of the months of waiting so I would...
Yet they will keep on selling selling selling. Making the stack bigger and the wait longer. It is obvious that they are not able to keep up with the demand and the wait time keeps growing.
As long as they have your money in hand what do they care. I bet if we did not have to pay until the EUC...
Just an FYI, GL has been selling off some new engines for MEP-803As, I got one for just a few hundred. The wife asked why the heck I needed one and the "you never know if you will need it so why not get it while the getting is good" was enough to get her to let me spend yet more money.
I am...
Well today is (As GP Puts It) EUC Tuesday... We will see if mine gets approved. If not I think I have had enough and will see about a refund. I have other toys I can spend money on and NOT have to wait 3 + months to get...
Well looks like yet another week without the EUC, refunds are not an...
My M998 was refurbished at the Maine RS maintenance center and it would be nice to see if they have and or will provide any records.
Does anyone have a contact up there or the best number to call prior to just taking a google shot in the dark at the various numbers listed.
Thanks
Again, mine is just a toy so other than the UGH waiting another week to see if it comes in and working on being able to schedule the day off to go get it is frustrating.
JWade, I think that the best thing that GP could do now to help is to reset expectations. Not all buyers come here and if you call the "average EUC approval process is 3 to 5 weeks"
So if the backlog is at "hundreds" now and it is taking longer and longer, almost 3 months here even though I have had many EUCs with GL, What is the wait time going to be when it is the thousands that you talk about. How can you expect to keep buyers and hold prices when an item you buy will...
Cantex, I agree to a point with you as for me it is just a toy. Waiting does suck though. When they first stated it would be about a 3 to 5 week process that was the expectation that was set, being at 13 weeks is just not acceptable even though it is a toy and that my expectation was 3 to 5...
I am just wondering at what point to the masses finally get fed up and revolt. If GP is not able to get there S together on a solution to clear EUCs in a realistic timeframe it is just a matter of time. They need to stop with the "It is not our fault" and take ownership. They signed the contract...
What has really p'd me off is seeing people that sent in for their EUC after me getting approved already. So the whole it is where it is in the stack of papers is total BS.
The contract between GP and the gov was a 3 week turn around. Even if it was 4 that would not be bad. 12 weeks is just...
