It's going to be painted first into arctic silver to match the boxs, then shipped to me in Japan via air. Hopefully I'll get it before April. Will post pics when I get it installed!

If you ordered in the past few days, best guess is that'll you'll see it late May/June.

The general consensus is that from paying to receiving is 3-4 months.

I got the delivery date of March 25th, so I should see it in early April because I should give it some days to pass customs. It's incredible that they can deliver it in just few weeks and painted!

Yes "too good to be true" is the phrase I think you're after. I know of orders that are now three months old that still haven't been shipped yet, but this has to be expected for a custom made item I guess.

Zeintec do have an annoying habit of quoting unrealistic delivery dates on their invoices. When I originally ordered, I paid on the 4th August with a delivery date of 29th August....it eventually shipped on the 27th October - arrived on the 22nd November.....almost 4 months! Take what's on your invoice with a pinch of salt!

If you get yours in April, I'll eat my shorts

And I'll eat my bra. Chippy is correct - delivery times run at a minimum of 3 months. I can't fathom why Zeintec aren't up front about this and insist on quoting an unrealistic lead time. Still, I'm sure you'll like your top, when it arrives. Don't be too alarmed if it creaks a lot, as is common with any non-integral 'floating' body part. You'll get used to it.

It is possible to really reduce alot of the creaks using sticky back neoprene tape and in some cases a dremel

I'll take some pics of areas that are worth a bit of extra cusioning and will post a webpage when I get chance of helpful hints.

Should be done by the time yours arrives
