Got an email from Johathan Tuesday. (May 10.2022)
He has my "four" fuel bottles and are $100.00 for all four plus $10.00 for shipping.
It would cost $110.00 "if" I did "friend and family.
It would cost $125.00 "if" I did it as a merchandise purchase.

Well, I did it the cheaper way (??) Emailed Johathan I sent the money into his Paypal ans asked when I'll get the bottlees?

Got an email reply (May 12,2022) that the bottles will be going out Monday (May 16, 2022)

I'll keep you guys updated.

(Has been about 3 months when I asked for them?)

I recently had a similar experience with a control line supplier. I'm not telling you what to do, but I would exercise your refund privileges before this goes any longer. It's always good to same any e-mail info that may have occurred as well. Paypal will ask you for this information as they really want you to settle this with the supplier. Once they're involved, they open a case and they quickly will get back to you. In my situation, they refunded my money within 2 hours. I completely understand that you want the items however, it can be difficult if this continues on.

There is no recourse for "friends and family" is a done deal.

I used my credit card ----
So, If there is a problem I can call the credit card company and say it was a fraudulent charge.

Well, the bad part is that Eric never updated his site so the $10.00 a bottle is from many years ago.
But yes, "IF" Eric bought them for that years ago, that is what he would sell them to you for.

The price is more than $25.00 "IF" I purchase the bottles from England plus the shipping.
Pressive Aero Works has the bottles for £11 ($15.41) plus shipping £10 ($13.19) £21 ($28.60)
$28.60 for just one fuel bottle.

The bottles look about what Dr. Diesel sold.
So, like everything during the pandemic time, prices have soared!

Update:

Received an email from Johathan.
He has shipped out my "four" fuel bottles Monday (though I got his email Wednesday -- 5/18/22)
Gave me the tracking number and it says that they should be delivered this Saturday (5/21/22)

I'll let you guys know.
It has been a while trying to get the bottles since March 7th?

Well, here is the last update of my fuel bottles.

They arrived in today mail! (5/21/22) All "four" of them.
Though it did take a few extra months than normal, I did get them after all.

So, if you are going to gegt anything from Jonathan (Dr. Diesel replacement?).
It may take a little longer than usual. But you'll get it?

getback Sun May 22, 2022 7:35 am

Well like you said you did get them , Happy for you man ! sunny

I'm glad this worked out well.

Jonathan is a good guy, and organizing Eric's stocks and supplies could not have been an easy task, along with working at his own full-time job.

I'd imagine orders will speed up as he gets things under control, but overseas' shipping is gonna be a bite, without enough volume to offset it.

I was able to stop by at Eric's home about 20 years ago.
Eric has things just like I do in my shop.

I can find thing quickly but if anyone else knew what I had and try to get it themselves, they'd never find it because I know where I stored it on what shelf or cabinet.
We all have our shop that way, where we can find it, but dang if anyone else can?
