Cargo tray? - Click HERE for Original Thread
xyz
You will never believe how much the dealer quoted me for a cargo tray: $200!!! What else can you do besides laughing and laughing....

So, I'm going to buy it from Tim. Anyone else interested? It'll be great if we can get ten people.

its listed at : $70.20 so with 10% discpunt will be : $63.18 + $2 handling (shipping included).

Yes it covers the back and the third seat area. I thing you can roll it if the third seat is up but not sure....

Yeah, it rolls up with the 3rd seat up. I like to roll it up and then hold it down with the cargo net stretched flat.

sign me up for this group buy. It's time to get a cargo tray. I was using garbage bags last week to protect the carpet when I loaded the kids bikes back there.

3 more! 3 more! :awais:
klowry
Dag Nabit! I just ordered mine Monday or Tuesday and got it yesterday from Tim, of course, otherwise it would have been perfect!

For future reference though, as I am still green, when a group buy is made how are the items dispersed to the purchasers, can you split the shipping locations? If so is the shipping to multiple addresses still covered in Tim's cost???

Thanks in advance!

Ditto...I ordered Monday from Hondacuraworld as well...should be arriving hopefully today. I was looking for GB info before placing my order and thought that I had read a post stating that there was really no room for a discount on cargo trays (Reference Thread). That discussion took place quite some time ago. Maybe things have changed.

Oh well, live & learn. Good luck with the GB folks.

Count me in! 2 more to go!

In the past I believe the Group Buys were limited to items with list prices of $100 and above. However, there were two recently closed Group Buys for cargo trays and cargo organizers due to some special deal Tim arranged with Honda.
ramirami
wow what speed .....only 2 more needed...
can we set a group buy sign up speed record....
ben916
I AM IN!!!

I have not joined a group buy but am motivated to purchase. I don't have to submit this one through congress (the wife).

Could someone tell me how this works as far as payment and shipping address (etc)?

Would Tim give more of a discount if say 20 or 30 people jumped on this group buy? :D Just putting it out there...

1 more needed

this one should be easy to pass through congress since its needed by both sides of the aisle :2: :rolleyes:

actually once we have 10 people we just request Tim to start a group buy. If he does, the discounted price will be in the specials section of hondacuraworld.com ....you order online...

no tim only gives 10% discount.... hey tim nice idea here...20 people 20 % discount....100 people...you give it free:7:

Hell, we don't even have our Pilot yet. Supposed to be coming today, then dealer changed arrival date to Monday. :(

Damn, I just received mine from Tim Yesterday. I ordered it last week but he said it was out of stock and was expecting a new shipment last Monday. As promised, it was in stock on Monday and I received it yesterday. Oh well, still worth the 70 bucks I paid for it because I need to go to Home Depot and cart a bunch of soil tonight.

xyz did he tell you when he plans to start it ?
my3kids
Can you just pull the 3rd seat up so it kind of follows the back of the seat up, but is still covering the floor of the storage area? I almost slways have the 3rd seat up, but when I go to Lowes or a garden center, I sure would like the tray. I sure wish they made a flexible one(one that would bend at just the right place and pivot up with the 3rd seat.)

Yep! that's exactly how it works! Rolls right up behind the 3rd seat.
my3kids
That sounds like I can roll the thing up like a tube....but that would keep me from throwing book bags, violins and lacrosse sticks in the cargo area. I kind of hoped it would "bend "up, like a backwards L, with the bottow still flat of the floor.

Well... It does roll up like a tube - but it's a pretty big tube! :p
Nothing would stop you from putting somethin on the tray back there, something not too big - like a lacross stick. Then roll it over. Picture a very large, thick doormat without the fuzzy stuff. That's what it's like. Flexible.

I am going to be out of town all next week. How soon do we think this GB is going to come up? At this point I am not sure if I will have internet access where I am going, and I don't wanna miss out on this!! Any Idea When??

just was informed about the group buy for a cargo tray. is there still room on the list for another order. i will be gone for the long weekend, but will try and check back on sunday night. i have purchased one for my parents accord sometime ago and found the liner to be a fairly sufficient thickness. will the one you are planning to order pretty tough (thickness wise)?

grant: The GB for the cargo tray isn't on the web site yet (the current one for the cross bars just expired yesterday April 17th) so Tim will probably be updating the site with the next GB shortly (I just checked a few minutes ago and it's still showing the cross bars). Don't worry, you'll have time -- the GB usually stays on the web site (hondacuraworld.com) for a week -- go enjoy your long weekend and don't worry about missing out on the cargo tray GB!!!! :4: :)

P.S. There is no list, per se... once Tim puts the GB on the web site, you go and place your order just like you would at any online vendor (like amazon.com et al)... :p

P.P.S Many members have praised the quality of the cargo tray (not the cargo mat), so I think you'll be getting a mighty fine product...
Harddrv
We talking mat or tray here?? I saw a pic of a mat in this thread. I don't need the tray!!:confused: :eek: :confused: :eek:
Sage
Cargo MAT? Don't know of a cargo MAT. There's a Cargo Tray that the current GB is for (ramirami posted the pic on page 1) and a Cargo Liner that cover's the back & back of seat. There's the All-Season Mats but you know what those are - floor mats for front and 2nd row. Don't know nuttin about no Cargo TRAY. :p

Looks like the upcoming group buy for Cargo Trays is in a holding pattern as the updated Specials list at hondacuraworld.com now includes a Running Board group buy.

Honda Pilot Running Boards. Sale good through Thursday April 24, orders for this item to be shipped on Monday April 28/Tues April 29

Sounds like the Cargo Tray GB is next in line.

Have to wait 'til next Friday to buy the Cargo Tray.

What we are planning to buy here is what ramirami posted a pic of on page one of this thread. 3rd post I believe. Am I right? That is not a cargo tray it would be a mat that covers your cargo area.

Yes Harddrv, that is exactly what this group buy is for, and yes it is actually called a Cargo Tray on the Honda website. It's likely called a tray because of the small edges that it has on the sides.

Here's the description, straight from the hondacars.com site:
"Protect the Pilot's original cargo-area carpeting. Provides additional versatility for hauling. Constructed of rugged, quality-molded thermoplastic rubber alloy for long life. "

I need it to protect the carpet from stains, scuffs, and spills from our adventures in camping, biking and going to Home Depot.

my guess would be that its made of a similar material as the all-season mats...(just my guess!!)
ChuckW
Yes, it's just like the all season mats. It even has the same oval pattern that the mats and rear bumper have.

I got one a couple of months ago and it's one of the best accessories I've got. If you don't have one, get one!

Yes, I think that Tim at Hondacuraworld.com only puts one group buy on the site at a time. There are alot of these GB's coming up lately, so I think that our Cargo Tray group buy ended up behind the running board group buy.

Harddrv: Many humble apologies, my friend, for the root of the confusion belongs to me: I mingled two items together: the cargo liner and floor mat are two separate items and I ended up calling them cargo mat in my previous post. Sorry for the confusion -- it was not intentional... :bonk:

Since honda-pilot.org is so active with group buys, maybe Tim will let us have more than one group buy going on at the same time. It would also be nice if the sale would last more than a week so everybody can take advantage of the sale regardless of travel plans or timing the purchase to coincide with incoming moola.

Tim ships things quickly and offers great customer service!

tic toc tic toc :(

I would figure that Tim @ acurahondaworld would want high monthly sales and therefore would also monitor the forum. That way he would know exactly what the forum wants.

From just counting, it seems like there are 20± members that want the TRAY. Could he be waiting for inventory? No biggie on waiting for me.

Just for grins:
I shook hands with Tony Stewart yesterday! I am not a die hard Nascar fan but it was pretty cool.

The cargo tray has got to be a big seller--IMHO it's one the of best, most practical accessories and something every Pilot owner ought to consider purchasing. Plus, it matches the Honda all-weather mats!

Couple of points here:

1. It seems like a lot of people don't care for the system that I've got set up with the group buys that I have set up with one clearing per week, then the shipments aren't promised until the next. Hondacuraworld is two people , Shawn and myself. This is the best way that we can organize this, and up until now I've thought this was okay, but since people in every GB thread are complaining, maybe I'd better reconsider the way I do them.

2. I have been out of work for the last two days with a severe case of food poisoning. Depending on the blood test results, I may have to be hospitalized later this evening as I cannot even keep liquids down. Which, if it's not up by noon tomorrow, you know where I will be :(
HondaFan
Sorry to hear about the food poisoning. We will be sending you good healing thoughts, Tim.

Regarding the group buys: We just like them a lot and just want more more more (can you say accessory addiction?). You provide excellent service, great prices and free shipping and the group buys are an added bonus we really appreciate.

If you choose to stay with the current system, it is fine with me. It will actually stagger my purchases more in line with my dwindling cash flow :eek:

Again, please feel better and get well soon. :29:

vellinga
Ditto.

You're the accessorizing man, Tim. Feel better soon.

It's in your ballpark as to how you want to manage, order, prioritize, authorize and implement Group Buys. If you make it open season on GBs and have 2, 3 or more going at once, you're going to start having people griping about slow delivery times, out of stock items, etc.

Whatever you plan to do, maybe it is time for a Group Buy Updates thread or a Group Buy Administration thread that is one of those threads anchored to the top of the Group Buy area (like the VIN thread is). This top level thread would be the place where we ask you about possible GBs and you keep us informed of what GBs are currently active, and what will be coming up from week to week. That way everyone can have a view into what's being discussed and what's being offered. Just my .02

Get well.
lalit

- The current system is prefectly fine with me. Guess "just two people" is a big reason that your prices are soooo good. I don't think people are actually "complaining".......just eager to get their stuff. It's nothing toward you and I'm sure you can understand.

I hope you feel better soon. I had food poisoning once and was in bed or the bathroom not knowing which way to go.....for a couple days. I know how you feel. Hope you can kick it quick for your sake.
BTW, I am in too for the cargo tray, just saw the special yesterday and had to run it by my other half since I have so many goodies already.
I will look for the group buy on the hondacuraworld site soon.
