Default Cusco roll cage delivery time?

Hello,

I just wanted to know if someone could tell me the usual delivery time for a Cusco roll cage.

I ordered mine there are over four months and I still have no news about his arrival.

Thanks in advance.

Greg

Like most JDM parts, if the US dealer doesn't have them in stock, they are shipped from Japan. This means there is a huge shipping container being filled by orders from the US. Until that container fills, it will not ship. Four months is not long compared to how long many have waited for various parts.

Who did you order from?

Thank you for your answer.

I ordered from EvasiveMotorsports along with my harness and my seats. There are waiting to get my roll cage to send all parts at once.

They are a top-notch shop. I wouldn't worry about it. Looks like you have some nice parts coming. Enjoy!

I trust them, no worries about this. It was mainly to whether the long wait is normal.

Thank you again for your reply.

Ok, despite the long wait, it's good news to know that it is normal that it is too long

What ever ETA you are quoted for JDM parts, always add about 3 more months minimum to it. That's what I have learned.

The way I look at it, a long time becomes too long when the time frame has exceeded your expectations. I am not referring to Evasive at all; they are a stand-up company. I am simply agreeing with Mr. Francesco but in a different way.

Whatever time frame you are quoted, it is always a good idea to add a few weeks to a few months on top of the lead time depending on the importer (not the distributor) in order to better prepare yourself for the worst case.

We always quote 8-14 weeks for our products and most of the time that is all it takes. However, in cases where it takes longer, we have to re-align our client's expectations and if they weren't prepared for it, then we have to dig deep to handle it in the best way possible. Re-aligning your own expectations always makes it easier on not only yourself, but your distributor as well.

Just my .02.
