I recently saw this company/guy selling Aluminium rimmed wheels on ebay and messaged him about getting a few as a bulk order and maybe a discount. He offered a percentage discount to which I said yes and then we did the deal through paypal.
He invoiced me i paid.
I got an email last Monday saying they would have to be specially made and I could expect them early this week.
Since that email I have heard zilch, despite emailing a number of times to see how my order was progressing.
Am I right to be concerned? Or should I wait a bit longer to see what happens?

I've seen the sellers items - I was quite interested in thier M3 boot decals but I've not ordered from them.

A fellow DXer also ordered some stuff from them but hasn't posted here about it. I asked him yesterday what happen with his order and this was his reply
"Good timing. I finally got my wheels over the weekend. They sold out of one of the sets I ordered and I had to wait for a new batch to be produced. I have not really had a chance to look them over though. At first appearance they look alright. I will followup once I get a chance to take a closer look."

Hi there,

I was the DX'er littlerockshhd mentioned above. It took a little over a month for me to receive my wheels (I'm in the US). One of the sets I had ordered was sold out and they had to make a new batch of wheels. I will say that they were always good about communicating with me and giving me updates. I think I only asked for an update once and they did respond after a day or so. Overall I thought it was a good transaction and I am planning on buying some more items from them.

How do they pack things, do they pack well? I want some decals but am worried that if they just use a normal envelope I'll end up with screwed up decals.

Same for me with the wheels. I had some decals sent as well and they were included in one of the bags with one of the sets of wheels.

I'm not sure how a package with only decals would be shipped but if I had to guess, I would think they would put the decals between some stiff paper/cardboard and then send them in an envelope. Don't take my word for it though, I would ask first to make sure.

17/2: contacted via email (info@sdmodelcartuning.nl) regarding an order & shipping
18/2: Got reply regarding stock item & cost
18/2: I returned e-mail with modified order without 'not in stock' items
19/2: Paypal invoiced with e-mail received about it
20/2: Invoice paid by me

6/3: Email asking about order status/shipping update (no reply)
18/3: second e-mail about order today...

Should I be worried, its been a month since I've paid now?
From reading the thread it sounds like sparse communication & shipping delay is a common theme, I don't mind the wait if the mould has to be recast or whatever, but I just want a simple update
