Anyone talked to Mr. T in the past few days?

Takashi at Samurider has always gotten back to me as fast as our different time zones allow, but I sent him a request last Thursday, and still haven't heard back. I sent him a follow up yesterday, just in case he hadn't gotten my first email, but still nothing. I don't want to bug the guy, but this is really odd for him.
And hey, a guy needs his freakin' farkles!

Home page says: Holiday

We will get back to you as soon as we back to work!
*In case of emergency, please message me "emergency" in the subject line. I will stop reading Mr.Honda Soichiro book(bought yesterday), and I will do something for you!

Oh crap. Didn't see that. :blush:
That definitely explains things, thank you!

Takashi is going to be very busy digging out of his backlog of orders and e-mails.

 

[Papa Weeley_imp]

Yeah, no doubt. I'll just kick back and wait for his response, now that I know his situation.

Yea he told me a couple weeks ago that JAPAN had a long weekend holiday in may

Sounds like the annual cherry blossom festival. Been to four of them. Quite an impressive festival!

I remember the same thing last year, I was going through the black phase then. Seems longer..............the old days

Takashi is up and running full blast. He got back to me yesterday, and I got a notice this morning that my item had already shipped. Good stuff! :clap:

Takashi emailed me yesterday, saying my order had shipped, and UPS tracking says its on the truck for today!

I'm a newbie here and only just catching up with many threads and who Takashi is.
From all the remarks I've found, he's a fantastic guy and apparently a very hard worker who is going all out to satisfy his customers.
Rock on Takashi .

 

[Ridem32_imp]

His website samurider.com he is in JAPAN

 

[Rocky_imp]

Found it, thanks.

He said he will be shipping my comet fairing this weekend. I'm so happy. How long does it take to get here after he ships items from JAPAN ?

Takashi emailed me yesterday, saying my order had shipped, and UPS tracking says its on the truck for today!

Wow no way! That's faster than we ship here in the states. Did you get your package yet?
Papa let me know when your parts arrive from MR T

My big box came via the post office. He shipped on a Wed. and it was here by the following Mon.

 

[Ridem32_imp]

That's fast shipping for sure

When Mr. T shipped my stuff, It was picked up and delivered to the airport in Narita. About 14 hours later it was in NYC. The next day it was on my doorstep.

The tracking only worked to the port of entry, not to my door. I don't know who delivered it, i.e. UPS, FEDEX, DHS, or whoever.

It gets here fast once shipped.
