lol. i'm that guy i guess...

btw my Evo X Varis hood came in faster than this shift ****! (hood was ordered a week afterward....and these are made per order. then was sent by ship which then was stuck at port due to labor strike, and finally delivered.... but alas, through a different vendor) i'm not mad, just want some updates.

hey fellas.
I appreciate that you have all been very patient. TK can be lacking in communication. They seem to have a tendency to be like TS, where, they take your order, and your money, then ship when they feel like it. We have had good luck in the past, getting orders received in under 2 months, but this one just doesn't seem to be going this way. Believe me, I have 9 people all wanting their *****, and I have been sending emails regularly with minimal response.
I am working diligently on this though, to hopefully get all your guy's orders fulfilled as timely as possible.

Are you guys actually ordering directly from TK because I don't see Vivid listed as a Tommykaira dealer... I also know the owner of TK - Hiei-san and I can say they're usually pretty responsive...

Thanks for the insight. I could expect this wait if I was ordering some custom offset rims from Work/Volk, but a shift ****! Starting to think things aren't what they may seem...

Edit

How hard is it to be legit?

No, I go through an authorized dealer. So all my correspondence has been with them. My emails should get handled as though I am going direct.

I assure you, I am doing my best.

Its impossible for us vendors to be direct with EVERYONE. I am direct with 95% of the manufacturers I sell, this is one of the very few that I am not. However, this is my 6th and largest order of these, and of course, the one order that has had issues.

Suit yourself, my mouth may be dirty[insert orbit gum joke] but it doesn't take 3 months to get to you. ESPECIALLYsince I'm in CA too ..... but, I've changed my mind anyway. Unless its $350+ shipping/PayPal.....any bites?

Update!
Production on this batch FINALLY finished and they are ready to be EMS'd to me from Japan. I should have them in a week or so. Then they are getting shipped out to those that bought 'em.
Thanks!
