    Yep, dropped off but I wanted to go te extra mile so I used my connections to get the shipping expedited from wherever they were in the chain at that point. So still in route, just going faster now :)

    IMO heres my personal view of this shitshow and people losing their marbles



    IF YOU ORDER ANYTHING CUSTOM it takes time, its painfully slow and sometime lacks ALL communication


    I personally yes have seen some redflags like his no replies, but for christ sakes there was a death at work, guess what if my boss died tomorrow it would take me 6 weeks to get caught before anything on the side would get done



    now I commend you Ben for a stand out guy, for all these grumbling over a shipping mishap, come fucking north of the border and try and ship anything, I bet shipping from alaska is like canada, EXPENSIVE and a pita, I also bet they turn anything back that may seem off, so guess what the guy just shelled out extra for expedited shipping while they are in progress of moving and than you get a comment like" if i get it by thursday ill be happy" GTFO wash the sand out of vag and go hide in a igloo and let it melt FUCK

    sorry for the rant but the guy goes honest and I have nothing to doubt about it




    want a different experience order from metal miller or andres you wont see your emblem for 8 to 12 weeks when promised in 3 to 4 weeks

    I am not apart of this sale, or apart of being a customer.

    But the OP seems to have done exceptional, I do not see how someone could be mad knowing the circumstances. I would gladly give him my service.

    Thanks Bulhas......
    I don't think that was necessary but whatever. Since you mentioned it, yes I'll be happy it's here by Thursday. On Friday morning I have to get on a plane and leave town to bury my best friend. By the time I return it will be over 45 days and my window to dispute the PayPal transaction will have passed. So call it what you will. I think we've all been patient and I'm hopeful Ben will deliver as promised. Had the original post said that orders would take 4-6 weeks then we wouldn't be having this conversation. Instead it said the first batch was ready to ship. I called Ben on it and he corrected it. I imagine this process has been a headache for him as well. Ben, I'm sorry for what you've gone through over the past few weeks. I have faith this will end smoothly for everyone.

    I have no complaints about how this went about about. I'm pumped to get it. I asked some questions about the eta at the beginning but a few a these guys need to pull their panties out of their ass. They will get here and they will be bad ass. Thats enough for me.

    So when you guys get them, thread the nut on first, then the head this will allow you to set it straight and tighten the lower nut up to it.

    Yeah I definitely won't be using this thread to sell the next ones, if I even do them. Flynn I sent you an extra 20 bucks to cover any disbelief. As I said, I care more about you guys being happy than I do about the money.
