Hey Fred!
Is there any way to track my order? It's been a couple of months and the tracking no. on the website doesn't work.

The tracking numbers don't go 'live' in the USPS until they receive the package into their system from the Chinese side.

He's undergoing a major overhaul at his facilities and swamped with the day job, so he may not be around until the end of the month.

My saga was similar to a bunch of you. No indication that the tracking number would not go live until the item hits the us. That left me in limbo for almost a month, the amount of time the item stayed in China before hitting the us shores. The item was delivered in less than a week from the time the tracking number went live. Be patient, it's worth the wait. A little more communication would have been helpful. I tried Fred several times over three weeks without reply. I surmise that Fred and the gt projectors company are one and the same now since I tried their contact process repeatedly without any luck also.
Hope all is well with him.
Larry

Fred did post this once the packages were at the the Chinese Post Office:
"SkyBreaker all gone, well nearly, 4 left to go. Unbelievable
We got caught by the post office. Max outbound daily is 5pcs and they stood by their rule all the way. Local post office is cheap, well compared to the private carriers. If they wouldn't have these rules in place everyone would use their service and they'd end up as busy as the McDonald right next door.
So that's the treatment they offer to little nobody like myself who ship without a legit business registration :/
Updated the site with all of your tracking No. And I am not going to do nor ship out a massive group-buy for anything "Best in the World" anymore - I think lollll"

Since Fred is still MIA I'm hoping someone will be more familiar with this thread than I. Is it ok to use the heavy scratch remover from the Novus kit? Think I read the latest version of this skybreaker had a coating and don't want to screw up my brand new wb but I want to see what I can do about some imperfections.

I tried working this with Fred, but as he seems to be indisposed at the moment, I'll try to work it here. Did anyone order a hardened windscreen that simply said "Boxster" and get one with the shield and P O R S C H E lettering on it? I ordered the shield and P O R S C H E and got "Boxster". I'd like to arrange a prisoner exchange if you are interested.

Roll bar clips
Where do the clips to hold the windscreen between the roll bars go? I got the clips from Pelican but no instructions

You could try contacting Fred through his website, but he has been AWOL for a few months.

Anyone ever watched the show "Locked Up Abroad"? If not then get to it cuz I may feature in one of those episode soon. I'm just back from Thailand where I was supposed to stay 6 days - and 13 weeks later.
Warning to all: Do NOT get 'physical' when you'll encounter a pedophile - if this ever happens to you. Does not come cheap ((that's right, read correct, I lost it)). I even had to pay for his medical bills, two lawyers, and other things.... won't go in details here.
Not my fault (entirely anyway). I'll explain when things have settle at my end here.. I literally arrived back in SH 2 days ago
ps: oh and special thanks to Andy for (not) posting what I've asked him to post more than a month ago :/

Good to see you're still among the living, Fred. Sounds like you have a hell of a story!!!

I'll soon be writing a book (well... a booklet). Lost 10 kilos and the rights to obtain a (any purposes) visa for Thailand permanently. Banned for life :/
Lesson learnt. Anyone witnessing a crime... look away, call the cops, do anything else other than getting involved. As sick as this may sound in some cases, take my advice
