Yeah tell me about it..

Container came in and was checked in by late friday night - they're all here - excellent
Monday morning upon staging the shipping, it dawned on me that there were no boxes..

Gialla generally ships them with boxes when we have ordered 5-10 at a time. This time we got 30 grilles in, and -0- boxes! They were all shipped in a larger box

Anyways I got some boxes ordered from Uline, and should be here tomorrow - All the GB grilles will be packaged up immediately and sent by the end of this week for sure - most likely by tomorrow evening. Check your emails for the tracking numbers.

Thanks everyone for your patience and we're definitely on the home stretch!

Also, my Gialla came with a black plastic mesh insert as well as my friends Gialla. Every Gialla I've ever seen, even those from fellow Forum members was black plastic. The real Gialla also comes in a box clearly marked Gialla on it, with instructions in Japanese. If Bulletproof doesnt know what color mesh the Gialla comes with, then i would start questioning who the grills are coming from. A company like Gialla wouldn't (IMO) change the color of thier mesh's out of the blue, as I'm sure that would drive all their customers up a wall! It's not a subtle change either, as the black mesh makes the whole grill! Hope it works out for you all...

Well, first of all, the mesh is metal - but you are right it is black - And they are ABS and not Fiberglass- I was confusing it with a Data Systems ( since they look SOOO different)

They all have Gialla instructions and paperwork

And generally they are shipped with a box - but I guess not when you order 30 at a time

I challenge you to find just one person who has ever purchased a counterfeit anything from us. We adamantly defend our copyrights and artistic designs.

Yes, 13 weeks is a looong time to wait - but most of this delay has been in PRODUCTION - they didn't have 30 of these on the shelf.

Metal mesh? It must be painted then, and if so that sucks! Its gonna chip like crazy! My Gialla and the 2 others that I have purchased for friends all came with plastic black mesh. That may not seem like a problem now, but wait a few weeks when you can't stand the chips in it...

Never seen one come with plastic mesh, and we have sold dozens..

Are you sure yours is authentic ? J/K

It may be a black plasti-kote or something, but its definitely a metal grille, and has been in all of them..

100% POSITIVE! Its black plastic! Not painted metal! As to it being "real", yea its real... mine came in a Gialla box... LOL I'll get a pic of it later on today and post it, then you may want to call Gialla and see what happen, as the last thing you guys want on youur hands are 30 customers calling ya back about their black grills chipping away....

Gialla has left the building!



You shoulda seen the dirty look from the UPS guy....

Those of you that submitted an order with a valid email address should receive a UPS confirmation of delivery this evening - Anyone who does not PLEASE PM me and I will give it to you directly. We cannot give out tracking numbers over the phone, and will need confirmation of the ship-to address to identify the customer.

Thanks everyone for you patience during this group buy, and if there is anything else we can do for you, please let us know
