Backorder bilstein shocks

New here but just curious if anyone else is having an issue getting the bilstein 5100 shocks in right now? The shop i went to at the end of august to order them for the front of my 2019 Tacoma called me a few days later saying the shocks were on backorder until first week of October and just checked back to hear they are still on backorder and it’s not just around here, Savannah GA, but apparently everywhere? Anyone got any advice.

 

You're not the only one. But I know that @HeadStrong Off-Road replied in another thread about this. Maybe they can provide insight?

 

@HeadStrong Off-Road Marie you got any in stock?

 

I been thinking about a lift but seeing this I think My plan to wait until spring or summer is a good idea.. I don't need now it anyhow.

 

I got mine from Headstrong a few months ago, but I hear they are on back order now pretty much everywhere. Kinda like everything right now. Just order wait and when they come in it’s a great day

 

Delivery day be like...

 

Yeah except I don’t like paying for something or having my card charged for something that is on backorder for an unknown time. paying interest or having money tied up in something that can't be delivered for over a month is not exactly good.

 

Find out if the vendor you purchase from charges before or after it ships. If the vendor doesn't charge until it ships, then you have nothing to lose if you're already committed to them.

 

They don’t use the credit card and wait till they are in stock?

 

Just talked to headstrong and they have them in stock still luckily so ordered and very excited to get this process started!

 

as of now they are dry. i am hearing some things will come this month others November. i sell this stuff all day long and the market can not keep up right now and the demand is too high. tacoma stuff will all be gone here soon

 

Yes, you need a cc for orders, but some places wont charge until they're ready to ship your product out.

 

Remember the days of mail order catalogs? I was in Elementary when I first started doing that. Spend the money then forget you purchased something and a month later it shows up. Kind of like ordering from Banggood and it taking 30-45 BUSINESS DAYS to arrive.

 

I miss book sales...

 

Ah yes the bad old days of waiting 6-8 weeks for delivery then its like Christmas when it shows up. Those days are back once more!!

 

no different than ordering sliders and waiting 8-12 weeks for them.

 

if you want anything from CBI they are like 4 months out. same with SSO

 

I’m more than happy to wait the 4 months for a sweet SSO slimline bumper
