well, i wasnt going to wait until the order followed exactly. this is how i was thinking: payer #50 sends in payment and there are three SCs sitting there unclaimed, so i plan to send one to payer #50. then, payer #5's payment shows up, followed by #17 and #29 (purely hypothetical). so do i keep #50 on target or does he now move down the list to the next available unclaimed SC? if no one pays, he gets lucky and gets his set waay early, if someone pays before his ships out, he gets bumped again..
right now, there are now about 8 people who are listed before payer #50 and have paid in full. payer #50 was the eleventh to pay in full, and about two days before anyone else submitted their balance payments. 
i could make it interesting and put everyone's name in a hat and have my daughter draw them out to see who gets the next set 
ps rick, my original thinking was basically based on combining the data. but then started getting a little...um...ya know..

Otherwise, if you return to the original list only, you'll have people who've paid the whole amount waiting a long time for people early on the list that haven't paid the full amount. Personally, my car is out of commission for the time being, so I don't need them this instant, but I wanted to pay so I could get a set as soon as one is ready and to help fund the whole buy.

I don't even think that this should be up for discussion ... he who pays first get's first! It's like standing in line and then having the guy letting people in choose randomly ... it isn't fair to those of us who have paid in full. We have proverbally "put our money where our mouth is" whereas everyone else has only put a portion forward with no gaurentee that they will pay the balance.
I'm not saying this because I was like one of the top 5 to pay the balance and I'm low on the original list ... I'm in the same boat as Buckshot77 here ... it's going on my Cougar which is still not on my radar for buildup till late spring/early summer. I just don't think it's fair. In fact, it's contrary to everything that we have been taught since kids if you think about it.

which is precisely why i decided to bring this point up Fastcougar.  i agree with your thinking on paid in full should get theirs first, regardless. anywho, we're trying to whip these out as fast as we can to make everyone happy  so dont be suprised when you get them as to how raw and unpolished they are. besides, after you install them, only you and your mechanic will see them.

when youre emailed the tracking # is when i finished inputing your info and printing out your label. the driver will then scan the label when he picks it up tomorrow. so you you should be able to track it sometime tomorrow evening. ps i did the best i could for the international invoice. ups said i didnt "have to" put your ss# or tax id in but mine is required. f' that! im not putting my ss# on the outside of the box! anywho, the customer service lady said it may get through or may get stopped to which theyll call me for the additional info  but either way, its on its way. btw i used $20 as the amount of the sale and the invoice # was the trans # on the paypal deposit notice.
