That's funny. I've been waiting for about 4 months to get belts from Rare Trick....I have a feeling I won't be getting them.

Ummm...maybe I'm Capt. Obvious here, but did you try calling or emailing them and getting an ETA on the parts? Anyway, waiting for parts always sucks. No matter how fast they get to me, it's always too long a wait.

i've been waiting for a month to get an interior trim peice for my car from the dealer. the ETA was today, and it wasn't in. I'm a bit mad, especially because the parts guy was supposed to call me back and inform me of the standing on the part. His manager will be getting a call from me on monday since this is the second time it's happened (the not calling me back on an updated status when he promised he would)

I e-mailed Rare Trick and they responded. See, I found out, the thing about Rare Trick is they do like a massive group buy, so when you place orders, they won't send those orders to Japan until they have enough orders for the GB price. Then they ship bulk to save money, this is why their prices are so low, but also why it takes them forever to deliver. So yeah, but I also heard they don't screw people over. Just be patient, he told me they're awaiting one more item, then they're going to ship from Japan.

Well...that kinda sucks. How long have you been waiting? Maybe Greg or one of the other mods here has a way to contact someone there for you.

That's really not bad as far as turn-around time goes. Granted, I wish parts could be instantly teleported to me. But ten or eleven days isn't really horrible.

I'd get pissed once days stretched in to weeks and months.
