Lidatek Laser Echo LE-20 GP!

After a long awaited go ahead from Lidatek I finally have gotten some feedback on the new LE-20 and a GP is on!

I need IOI's from at least 12 people to get a 15% discount on the new model units. If response is greater than anticipated I will see if they can do better.

If you need more product info the website is www.lidatek.com .

Please email me at bmbum@hotmail.com with your name, email address, shipping address and if you want the single or double unit (xtra transmitter for the rear). The original pricing is $349.95 for the single unit and 449.95 for the double + shipping. If you provide your shipping address initially I can find out what your total cost will be.

Once the names have been collected I will email you with the specifics for payment and shipment. No $ will go thru me and will only be received directly by Lidatek once the particulars have been finalized.

This GP will be open for exactly 2 weeks... and will end promptly on September 3rd... no exceptions!

I'm in

Looks like we have enough responses already for the first shipment to be processed. Anyone interested should contact me immediately so that I may include you in the first order. There will be 1 more order that will be processed at the end of the GP window - Sept. 3rd. Anyone have any questions please contact me or check Lidatek's website for product and warranty info www.lidatek.com . Thanks.

Here's a reply email I received this morning from Lidatek. If everyone is OK with this then I will continue the group purchase. Please reply with a "Lidatek GP - IN" or a "Lidatek GP - OUT" in the body of your email to confirm message receipt and your intentions.

If people pull out then 10+ people will recieve a 10% discount (presently 12+ = 15%) or if we can get more in that time frame, as stated in the reply, we can get a 20% discount for 24+! Anyone want to double up? :)

We are presently at (14) confirmed units and counting.

William,

I'll try to answer all your questions if I can.

Lidatek ships with FedEx and the shipping costs will be approximately $15 and $16 for single and dual unit systems to the East coast and $12.50 and $13.50 for single and dual unit systems to the West. These prices will give you some idea of the range in cost.

The best discount we are prepared to give is 20% for 24 or more systems.

As far as payment methods are concerned, we take all types of credit cards (preferably Amex). We do accept money orders, however we can't ship anything until we receive the check here. Lidatek has not used paypal in the past, but we would be willing to make arrangements if your group feels strongly about it.

It is not possible to have three transponders connected together (1 Master + 2 Slaves). Each master unit (LE-20) can accept one slave unit (LE-20T). Generally we dissuade customers from spending money to put jammers on the rear of cars. They are difficult to mount, they won't get used very much, and the effectiveness of jamming from behind is not as good do to the close ranges and angles involved in such an encounter.

We would like to see one final group buy list at some point with the following information:

Customer name (as it appears on the card)

What is wanted (LE-20 or LE-20 + LE-20T)

Phone number

Email

Shipping address (a signature will be required for delivery)

Billing address (Same as on file with their credit card)

We will contact everybody a day or two before we ship to collect the credit card numbers and expiration dates.

There is another important point you should communicate with you group. Do to a greater than expected demand for Echos, coupled with Lidatek moving into a bigger location in early September, we will be unable to ship any units to your group until the third week of September. You should double check and verify that everyone on your list will be willing to wait until then. I apologize for this rather long lead time but as a (re)starting company, we had to be conservative with our initial sales and production quantities. The delay will allow time to collect everybody's info, and give them the opportunity to call us with any specific questions they may have about the Laser Echo or LIDAR before they commit to a purchase.

If you or any of your group have any other question, don't hesitate to call us at 360 658 9202.

Regards,

Andrew Cole


Thanks.

I say we wait for 24+

To be honest for a $22. difference and possibly never reaching 24 units Id rather just go with those that we have so far. There is still another week left and given the fact that they wont be able to ship until the third week of September I would most like extend the GP for 1 more week which would put the end date on the 10th.

Lidatek GP update #4

Spoke to the rep at Lidatek this morning. They have received the “final” list from me and are currently putting together our GP J. Lidatek will contact everyone on Wednesday for payment arrangements. If you have any questions (technical) I would highly suggest you speak with them at that time or email directly… trust me… they know their stuff!

Also, I just wanted to thank everyone for participating. It’s been a pleasure corresponding with each of you. If I may be of further assistance, please contact me.

I'm interested, but it looks like I may be too late. Let me know if I can still get in.
