Dont worry yet mate. There has been a lot of people talking about this guy. Because he runs the buisness on his own delivery times can take longer than normal. Some people have waited up to 2 months for stuff to arrive

That's pretty normal for Flat4 as they don't hold all the items listed on their site but are ordered from their suppliers, so you'll get your bits when they get them from their suppliers. Could take a while though.

Always slow, but not dishonest at all. You neednt worry about whether youll get it, only when...

If he doesn't state the waiting time then he is a poor seller.

Some people will never learn how to run a business properly, this sort of service puts people off buying again.

I've been waiting three weeks for the following:

Apexi AVCR
Kakumei manifold
Kakumei exhaust

I received the manifold last week and have been told the rest of the order will arrive soon, i think i'll give it another week before i claim the money back through my credit card company as this is getting beyond a joke now!

The bloke should just be honest and say these things on his site (not sure if he does as I was warned off long ago). It's a shame that people end up waiting weeks/months

Used them once 3 years ago - had a load of hassle (standard from reading the threads here - poor communications, emails saying it will be here tomorrow / items held up at customs etc)
- would never use them again

I waited a few weeks for a fuel pump.
Eventually arrived, but 2 weeks after they said it had been dispatched.
