...
i hate to say this, but this seems like a recurring trend with slkfans...usually 2-3 month delivery time. i have never seen anyone that did not get their sprintbooster, but many that say it took more than 2 months...

I had the same problem. But I did receive it. I think he has to order them direct from the company, wait for them to clear customs, and then he ships to you.

What's the point in buying for a 2 month wait rather than buying off of eBay. At least with eBay there is some recourse.

i agree that i should have just bought off ebay, but i figured id support a fellow member. i dont understand what takes so long, is he overseas? if he is he should just charge an extra $5 and send them air!! id think a sellers reputation would be worth something.

I ordered my first A version from SLKfan ages ago and received it within a week. I ordered my A2 version (the "amg" version) from some overseas guy on ebay and also received it within a week.

He's in Malaysia I think, or that's where he was in business trip
and sent it from directly when he was away, I kept in touch
with him via email.

From what I understand he buys in groups to help us save
money, but don't put that in stone.

Hey Des, yip me again and i am still in the same boat as you mate....!

Just checked my paypal receipt i paid him on the 7 June a little over 2 months ago and i also have received nadda!

Oh well what can we do ... but wait and hold thumbs ... good news is that if the guys are correct in saying the average time of late is 2-3 month waiting list then ours should be arriving any day now! cant wait for it...

I also purchased through SLKfan, but after not receiving the Sprint Booster after three weeks, I filed a dispute with PayPal and got a full refund in 10 days. His replies to emails always promised tracking information the next day, but it never happened. I spent the extra $50 to get the product from partsexporter on ebay, and it arrived in 4 days as promised.

Hey JGSX I see you got a different sprint booster and I wanted to ask if it better then the 1st version? If so can you point a direction to get the new one or where to look for it and price please.

Spoke with Andy Wong. Here is the link to the A2 version for sale.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...139886331&rd=1

He said shipping time to the US is 3-5 days.

I am getting so sick of the electronic throttle...

Hey guys, I will sell you my Sprint Booster out of my C32. I'm trying to sell the car.
It is the standard version for our car (I have to pull it out to check model number).
I'll beat any of the Ebay guys price by a chunk on this 3 month old part.

Regards,
Pete

Is this version supposed to have benefits over the other? If so, what?

Cool. When I have some extra cash, I will order one from him. I really hate the e-throttle on the C32.

hey guys, i have a little info as to what's going on with SLKFANS:

he claims he is having "issues" with his paypal account and is unable to perform any transactions, or words to that effect.... no doubt related to his
shoddy customer service and complaints filed against him. if it's true, it sounds to me like his account is frozen.

i know this because of an email he sent me a few days ago. i sent back a defective SB he promised me a refund on, but i still don't have the refund after 2 months of his receipt.

paypal has denied my claim because an undelivered refund does not meet their criteria for filing a complaint. my CC has a 120 day deadline for the same and i missed it by 6 days. at this point, not much i can do but wait to see whether he's a man of his word. one thing i do know is, his credibility around here is shot.

i hope you guys get your SBs or refunds.
