I posted this in other forums but anyway,I ordered lights from night 7 racing and they were supposed to be shipped 10 business days ago. I wonder if i should put some pressure on the guy or if i should just wait. The packages were sent via parcel-post and the post office swears up and down that it takes 7-10 business days to ship anywhere in the continental U.S. Whos got the inside info or a similar experience?

I have a similar problem. I ordered like 6 magizines from Pacific Rim like a month and a half ago, plus i ordered with 2 day Fed EX shipping!! Now i dont know if it is on backorder or what but i have tried to contact them but have yet to hear back. In the past i have had no problem, but now it is just rediculous to wait so long. All i can say is just wait because thats all you can do really.

it has said that "5 left in stock" thing for 4 months now...i think there is only one black kit left now from when i talked to him last week. shipping was 285 for residential delivery but i would take these deals with a grain of salt. mine took a little over a month to get going once i sent in the check.

Do a search on nightcxz77 and you'll see why cameron isn't a sponsor anymore. Thats all I can and will say.

When I ordered my wire set it took about 2 weeks via parcel post. They were coming from Canada though. Parcel post is slow as crap, I'd give it a couple more days.

I once ordered a B&M shifter from SWA on April 23rd, and it still hadn't shipped by May 19th. Another time I ordered a motor from Venus on June 6, and it didn't ship until August 20th. Some companies just suck, I guess Night 7 Racing is one of them.

parcel post is the slowest form of shipping. Almost had to file a claim cuz I thought they lost a package I sent to NY from CA. I am pretty sure you'll receive it but I can almost guarantee it will take a long time

Cameron is not to be trusted, he is extremely shady about the way he does business. It's because of him that we have 1 less RB tuner (the founder of the game, can't even remember theire name, holy **** i rymed :) ) in the community. I'm glad he bad mouthed the wrong person and isn't here anymore. I'm thinking about getting an S13 and doing a front conversion to it (after selling the 97 kouki) and if I do, I'll pay the extra $150 to give my biz to Chris at Underground Motorsports. Cuz I know he isn't gonna cheat me, and if he does, he is too slow to get out of town before I drive a couple states over and knock on his door.

PS - saw the pics of your car in your sig, looking good so far, but I think your gonna get pulled over for not having lights. ;)
