Rod your great guy in what you do for us members here in the states. So as.i say this delicately to you, I've paid my dues for a nb2 lip the first week of august and probably the first few days starting the month. I have contacted you via your gmail, yahoo, clubroadster accounts and receive no information when.and why i haven't received.it yet. I am trying to be patient but with zero communication on your end is making me impatienton mine. So please contact asap
Relax guy, he isn't the most communicative person ever. It took him almost a week after the close of a bid to get back to me after 3 emails and stuff. It's probably the only downside to dealing with him, is that email response is slow. But it's well worth it for his pricing.Quote:

I deal with people all the time who want instant responses to a lot of stuff they buy from me, and when I don't get back to them within like 2 days or so, they threaten me with a paypal dispute..
Always a pleasure to do business with Rod !

An email is still professional even if its taken a month. Its called communication. If he lets me know an excuse why i can understand and give him time.
I'm telling you the guy isn't the best at communication, so just rest easy. The dude has an amazing reputation and hasn't ripped off anyone, just relax and don't be so hardup man.
If you don't like his communication etiquette, feel free to not use him and pay extra from other services that will give you instant email responses.
But it's a common theme with Rod, and most people don't mind, especially since he's dirt cheap. So just relax and fall back on his sterling reputation, not a big deal if he isn't getting back to you. Just breathe and find something else to occupy your time.
Yes "DK Wolf" is correct Rod aka Tetsuya Garage is 100%, remember "The Best things come to those who wait!" :fp:
its funny making this post prompted communication. so now I know the deal. and if im paying for services shouldn't I get service?
There's nothing funny about it man.
And I think it's worth high-lighting that you aren't entitled to constant on demand communication with him. The only thing you're entitled to is having your items purchased and shipped to you.
And you do understand this is just one guy right? One dude living in his house buying things up for god knows how many other people at once. I'm sure he has a lot on his plate with just that, and he has a regular job and his own life to live. Give the dude a break, especially since he's essentially asking a pittance for his services. Just take it easy and relax.
I do the same thing, I'll get PMs and emails from people about stuff they bought from me. When I have an update, I'll let them know. But I honestly won't spend my time writing up an email letting them know "there is no change".. especially when I was also dealing with 6 other orders at once at one point. Sometimes if I'm not dealing with too many people, I'll answer contacts pretty promptly as many will vouche.. other times when I'm busy.. I'll straight up ignore messages, which I'm sure a few here have experienced. But in the end they got their product, and that's what REALLY matters.
I've recieved some stuff from Rod within a week or so and others within a month. I usually hear back within a few days of an auction ending or an item shipping. Like DK said, a minute-by-minute update isn't going to make anything ship faster.
I absolutely hate when people bug me for updates...absolutely hate it...

I don't think you're understanding the situation here.The thing is i haven't heard from him in close to four weeks since i sent him money. Now you may be okay with that but im not. I don't know what's going on and what the deal is. Now if i was let aware of why its taken so long just to get a reply back today i think i am entitled to probe for information. Even if its a mistake or a part was broken or just to say hey dude i forgot. I don't care. I do care when i send.close to 300 dollars and haven't heard a damn word in almost a month. Not a email nothing..
Now things were resolved by him today. I understand he does all of us a favor and i really appreciate the effort he puts towards his business.
Glad it all worked out!
I still cant wait to get the part in. I have more parts that I want to order from him after my recovery from my most recent purchases for the car.
Big thanks to Tetsuya Garage for my new Zoom room mirror, matches the side mirrors (sourced from rod as well) puuurfectly

More Luck than judgment find from Japan, but Thanks to tetsuyagarage for getting it to the UK.
I'm a bit late on this, Rod got me this Type 2 Runabout fuel door/ lid back in April: http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...pslwonvcpj.jpg

Anyone hear from Rod lately?
He usually responds pretty quick, but haven't heard back from him on a recent inquiry.
It's been a month since he's uploaded anything new in his site.
I emailed him two days ago, and he replied swiftly.
Edited to give my thumbs up for Rod, good man! :slayer:
Ok good, thanks for the heads up.
I emailed with him at the beginning of the month. He is probably just busy with his real job.
Thanks Phat, trying to secure an order for wheels, but your seats got me thinking twice.
You can get wheels at anytime. Nakamae seats, not so easy to get. Pretty sure these are the only pair in Tan in the USA too. Just saying.
