Default been waiting three weeks for springs. normal?

i just wanted to know if anyone else has had a 3 week delay when they ordered their tein springs. i ordered and paid up front (local shop) for some tein s techs on sept 11th, and now it's right at three weeks. i was originally told they would arrive within a few days. but it's obviously taking longer than that. what would you guys do? is this a normal wait time for teins?

What is "normal" kinda depends, with most stores I deal with basic-bolt on stuff is either in stock or arrives at my door in a week.

So waiting more than a week for springs I would not be happy.

I am curious, who did you buy from and how much?

You should have ordered them from one of the vendors on this site. You would have received it in a few days, with most offering free shipping (and no tax if you're from another state). Also, I always check with the vendors first to make sure the parts I'm ordering is in stock.

Not unusual (for any part). Retailers sell items that the do not have in stock. They love the word backorder. "It will be here in a couple of days" means “We have your money and are not in any rush to get your parts.”

try to get your money back and buy them from a vendor on here. The people on here take care of you becuase if they don't then they won't be able to sell anymore stuff on here because people won't buy from them
