I guess they like giving shitty service to customers if all they can do us to blame their "powder coater"lol. If their powder coater has their business by their balls, there's something seriously wrong how they do business. Hope everything works out for u, if thats either waiting or be smarter/pay little more and go with other brand.

I kind of knew that I'd be in for a wait on these, but I ordered my sliders with the same understanding. I think the cost benifit is my primary driver in my willingness to wait.
Time will tell if the product is worth the wait. PS: Stall tactics is SOP for any business that is having deleivery issues. Didn't you guys watch Tommy Boy?

I think you guys should cancel your order so I can move up in line

I hate middleman whole sellers, fat cats that make money off you with lousy service, some of these guys will disappear when the new internet tax law is mandated.

Or could be they only have 1 coater in their area....and the companys having problems keeping up with demand.

Well, I may have some good news for someone. I finally received my wide flares after waiting for 6 months (ordered Dec 31st). However, I'm 2nd guessing the purchase now and the wife does not like them at all. Just throwing it out there for now to see if anyone may be interested in them. I'll make my final decision in the next couple days as I need to get them out of my living room (either on the Jeep or in someone else's hands). If I decide to sell I'm only looking to recover the cost and will not ship. So if your near the Paoli, Pa area PM if interested.
