I think there is a message on here every few weeks from various members telling the same story. Goods always arrive eventually but can take months.

Wouldnt touch them with a barge pole, its a one man band woh waits til he has 10 plus orders for something so he gets a bit of discount when ordering but neglects to tell this to the customer. All his stock is virtual and he is effectively a 3rd party sitting between you and the manufacturer, its better to go direct i find!

Same here for a full exhaust system and headers by Kakumei in Taiwan. Took forever but got them eventually. I rarely got a reply to emails and his phone number just rings and rings.

Scott has a great website, all the products are top notch but the service and delivery times are just awful!!

I went direct to Kakumei but they said i had to buy in bulk from them with a minimum order of 10 pieces to deal direct so that scuppered that idea!! And i suspect a lot of other manufacturers he deals with will be the same.

Ho hum!!

I don't think there has been a week where someone hasn't complained about them. Shocking way to run a business. I'm sure he will be out of business soon enough.

Agree with this 100%, i can understand newbies starting threads as they don't know what he's like. I've been a member on here for over two years now and there is endless threads on this guy and it still amazes me how people still use him
