This is a discussion thread titled "COMPLETED GROUP BUY: Wet Okole Seat Covers", within the Group Buys forum, part of the Marketplace Forums category.
FWIW -- 424.92 is exactly what Al charged to my credit card. Front and rear 40/60 bench seats.
For front 40/60 bench seat, the price was $212.46 for me. On WetOkole, the same thing with the accessories that we got (logo, pockets, free cleaner) was $314
Breakdown is like this
Wetokole price = $249 for seatcovers only in front
$ 39 for logos
$ 20 for seatpockets
$ 6 shampoo
_____
$314
NOW the GB pricing
TS club member pricing =$212.46 (Actually if you take 15% off of $249 you get $211.65, but that could be sales tax? I'm not gonna quibble about a less than a dollar difference!)
Logos, seatpockets and shampoo or protectant, shipping FREE!
I'm confident I didn't get screwed, but I don't know why xedge and boxer have a $30 difference.

The Difference is this. Quadratec pays more for the captains chairs then the rest of the items. Therefore they sell for a higher price through them. It is still a better deal then going direct. I tried everything I could on this and Al is still going to talk to his boss and the purchaser but some things you just cannot control. i am sorry if anyone felt slighted and Al feels bad to but sometimes the ball doesn't roll your way.
That's the difference the captains seats are $225.00 on the Wet Okole website and Quadratec is selling them for $259.00. I will go ahead with the sale, the accessories and the free shipping are a difinite savings. But the idea that Quadratec has to pay more for the covers than advertised on the Wet Okole website is hard to grasp. The pricing matches for the 60/40 seats but not the captain chairs. Turns out to be less of a savings than I expected and really how many have captains seats? Maybe Al will come back with a solution after speaking with his boss. Dogman I still appreciate your hard work and have no hard feelings towards your organization of this. As always when buying something I did check the price on Wet Okole website for on captain's chairs before comitting to this group buy and now it just doesn't add up.
Regards
Boxer
Again no hard feelings just trying to get things right.
The way I look at it, I'm still getting a heck of a better deal than doing it myself off Wet's website. Thanks Dogman for all the negotiating/legwork you've done! I'll give Al a follow-up call and can't wait til I'm planting my butt on these covers.
I talked to Al again and there is nothing left to do on it. The problem is they don't buy a ton of the model so their price for them is more then others. I wish there was better news for ya'll but I got nothing
So has Al sent out the 1st batch of covers? He told me when he got 15 orders they would start shipping. Dogman, did Al say anything about this when you spoke with him ? Thanks...
ALLCONCERNED, i spoke with Al today about my order, the one i placed with perry and had fwdd to Al. its a good thing i did. perry screwed up my order. i have the non- electronic captians chairs, of course he had me down for the electronic ones. at least i got it straightened out. i also asked why my credit card hadnt been charged yet, he said debit cards and FULL authorizations will show up right away but not PRE authorized charges. anyway, again he could not tell me what number i was on the GB list but he did give me a Quadratec purchase order number.
black on black, front and back, logo tyt031 black, and the pockets! you so know it! since i live in hawaii, Al said my price will
