Clever Idiot Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 they have been available for almost 2 months. has ANYONE recieved theirs yet?????????? Â I sent a $ order for the grille and a check for the shipping about a month ago. check hasn't been cashed yet, but no way to know about the money order. i emailed the person a couple of days ago, haven't heard back yet. Â i'm screwed if the money order disappears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USMCBLB125 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Starting to sound a bit wishy washy, I hope this pans out. Was really planning on ordering one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Starting to sound a bit wishy washy, I hope this pans out. Was really planning on ordering one.  Here is what they e-mailed me: Quote: it is on the way to us, the ETA: May 5. we had some modification on this grille since we received some suggestions from our buyers, that's why it takes extra long time sorry for any inconvenient  These guys sell A LOT of billet grilles on ebay. I would think they are a reputable company, but we will find out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Take14theroad Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I hope they work out too. I have not heard back from them recently, so I hope they were just sick of emails about the grills. I hope somebody gets one soon! Â Â When I check them out on ebay it says that there are 0 items for sale, I do not think that is a good sign.......

Clever Idiot Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Maybe they have 0 for sale b/c they're trying to catch up on the backlog? I hope so, anyway. I imagine it's maybe 3 or 4 guys/girls max making these things by hand. That's why I gave it a long time before sending an email.  I haven't received an email reply yet, but maybe that's b/c they have 1000 asking the same thing and figure when the grille arrives the questions will be answered  I'll let y'all know as soon as I get mine.

TN454Monte Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Originally Posted By: jpnewlin Alot of great things come from China.. Â Yes, unemployment for Americans, child labor, poor quality, forced labor............ Â Sorry, the only thing I like from China are its people. Some of the nicest people in the world considering how oppressive their government is. Perhaps this might be something we see in the future within our own borders, who knows. All I do know is that there is NOTHING that can be made better in China that can be made here. Even American Chinese food is better. Â Tainted dog food, lead laced toys for kids, really ...what's not to like ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCBLB125 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 HAHA no joke about the chinese food being made better in America. I love Japanese food, but came here to Japan and it's ok, but I'd rather have my American Japanese food, oh and Korean BBQ is better here in Japan than it is in Korea. LOL funny how that works.

USMCBLB125 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 That's a shame they're coming from overseas though. Not that I wont order one now, but it definitely puts a damper on it. Not like anyone stateside is making a billet grille though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KLASSIK1 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 most if not ALL , reproduction parts are made in Tiawan , and most sold and engineered in the USA , Tiawan is not China , they are a true example of a free democracy , is that not what many of our brave soldiers died for to spread democracy and freedom around the world , I HAVE NEVER SEEN 1 REPRODUCTION PART come from japan there may be some from japan and or china , but most come from a free country with hard working people , TRY TO FIND AN AMERICAN TO STAND BEHIND A PRESS 12 HOURS A DAY good luck with that  Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpnewlin Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Good point. Wages are one issue and labor is another. Anyone that has owned or managed a business can testify that just finding people that are simply willing to put in a good days work is the biggest obstacle to overcome. The economy is decreasing that issue some, but it is still a big problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
