Quick Question about Accolade..

Hey everyone,

I recent ordered from them(Accolade - body-kit.com) and its been close to a month and haven't received anything

I was just wondering what peoples opinions were with them, and if you have ordered before. What was your shipping time, and who was the shipping provider. Any information would help, just trying to see what others experienced with them and think.

thanks in advance.

Remember, these boxes are as huge as a Smart car! and they're shipped Freight I believe. I have nothing but good things to say about Dave on here and the company's product. Try PM'ing Dave on here and see what's up!

trust me its going to be awhile im not sure where your from but, it took mine about 2 to 3 months before i got my packages. boxes are very big if you plan picking up yourself plan to bring a truck or suv. the trucking compnay used for mine was old dominon and i had about 3 boxes maybe. just trust me its hard to get an answer from them. ive tried but my product finally reached me. so it will just take time.

I recently ordered a set of front grilles for my Ralliart and it took 5 weeks. I waited 3 weeks then emailed them asking for a tracking number. I then waited another week before they gave me one. The day they gave me the tracking number was the day they actually shipped the grilles.

So it took 4 weeks for them to decide to actually ship what I bought and then only a week for me to get it.

sounds like you are waiting for jdm parts. I had a bumper deliverd from Cali to Indiana that only took a couple of weeks from driveline. Maybe they are made to order parts? Good luck I hope you get your stuff. Waiting sux.

I would suppose they are made to order. Its not like the Lancer is on everyones "hot car" list...

They probly would loose alot of money if they had 2-3 copies of each kit just sitting around. Not too many people have Lancers; and the people that do even less mod them, you know?

i ordered the evo x conversion minus the wing and the hood

for me my kit was a special order kit and they had 2 order it from sri lanka i believe

so id assume its taking so long for me cause there company is in cali and they order parts they have their parts in sri lanka

and for them to order parts from sri lanka they prob wait til the pilot gets full and then ship the parts and sometimes that can take awhile

and plus it has to go though customs before it gets to cali and customs can take some time

im guessing all that would roughly could take up to a month and depending on when they put the orders in, it could b longer

i mean it is somewht of an annoyance for me cause its been a month and i still havnt gotten a tracking number yet, but i mean i understand all this takes time and im not gunna really complain about it, cause i dont think im being scamed as they do seem like a reputable company

also i live in canada so when they do get the parts and give me a tracking number its goin 2 take some time for me 2 get it as well cause it also has to go through customs once again

but then again i could b totally wrong about this rofl

rofl i guess so

i wouldnt b suprised if our stuff was on the same pilot and we prob get a tracking number roughly the same time lol

So i guess all i can do now is wait. So far minus the waiting it seems to be going good. They are good with responding to emails, except for a few times. I guess ill wait it out a few more days, then probably PM dave, and send some more emails.

Thanks for the info and opinion guys. The more the better =)
