Hooped on ITP,s site this morning and I notice the core charge went up 50 buck, to 150.00, wonder why. Shortage on cores.

A $150 refundable core charge will be added to the purchase of this product unless "send core first" is selected below. If "send core first" is selected, we will NOT process or ship the order until the core is received.
We have eliminated the time limitation for core return because we really need the cores back. Instead, we ask that cores be returned AS SOON AS POSSIBLE because we are currently experiencing delays in producing new JWVBs due to a lack of cores. Please be considerate of the customers that come after you and return your core as quickly as you can! We NEED your core as much as you NEED your money back!

Excellent post Mike. I'm certain that JW appreciates it too.

 

Thanks Jim, anything to help get the ball rolling, could be a lot of missed sales for them. Sandy keeps reminding me of that 100.00 core charge, lol.

 

When the time comes for me to do the VB I will definatly go with JW. I wonder if the local junk yards would have blown tranny that the VB could be raided from?

 

Sounds good. I,m wondering if people are holding onto their stock ones in case something happens they can swap the stock one back in and sell the JW, just a thought. I got to start adding more smilies to my post.

 

Probably or they just space out sending it out. I don't know why with the core charge.

 

I don't know why people wouldn't send it right away???

 

It would be nice if people could check out some local tranny shops and see if they could get some VBs from burn up tranny's and send them in to ITP just an Idea since they should be good to rebuild. That or people could get off there butts and get to sending there cores back.

 

Well, I thought of both those senarios, junk yard VB and that could turn into some coin in your pocket because of the demand, hum..... And sitting on a hundred bucks, can't figure that one out, my wife's been reminding me about that 100.00 core charge since I ordered it, wooaa, take it easy momma, lol. The money's coming I said to her, nicely of course..haha...
