Hi everyone,

Still no signs of the bearings today :/

I'm in contact with the supplier, they will send me another package faster, I hope we won't have to wait too much.

I'm sorry for this!

I'll keep you in touch with the solution or if I receive them.

Ben.

Update #2:
The guys will send me another package with a faster method tomorrow.

Sorry again for that.
For those who have paid, don't worry, your money will not move until I know you've received your shifter!

No worries, at least from my side. Based on your previous successful shifter runs, I have faith you will deliver

Let's see which is faster, west coast or east coast customs. My backup camera has been "processed through sort facility: ISC Los Angeles" since February 22nd.

I called the USPS customer service.
There is nothing we can do, we have to wait for the package to go out of custom ...

I feel so bad for that :/

I hope it's coming soon.

It took over a week for my package to clear customs on the west coast (and its status still says it's in customs, though it was delivered Monday.)

Installed mine last night. The feel is phenomenal! Raining today so I can't take it out but smooth and very "notchy". This is how it should have felt from the factory.
Anything engineered by Ben, I'm buying!

I scheduled the pickups for tomorrow, for everyone that has already paid!

Some will have the bearing already in the cups, some will not, don't worry, I tested every one of them, they fit!

If you have a doubt, don't touch anything and send me a PM.
NEVER put a bearing in the "cups" without the washers inside, or you will never get them out!

I'm in a hurry right now, I will take time to explain better tomorrow.

Thank you guys !

Ben.

Ps: Brokenlinkage, sorry, nothing's wrong for you, I PM'd you

Well, my car going into open header mode this afternoon prevented me to do everything I had to do...
But all the package have been sent, I'm sending everyone their tracking number right now.

Thanks to all of you guys.

Ben.
