Hi,
Many of you may be aware i ordered several parts from Japan based Checkerflag (MLC Trading) for a group buy in the UK.
This order was placed months ago am Im having great difficulty getting the guy to send our parts out which have been paid for .... (5Zigen exhausts, C's shifters etc)

Have any of you guys had any dealings with this company ?
Were wondering if the company is having problems

Or does anyone have any contacts in Tokyo that could place some FTO weight on Checkerflag ?

And most importantly if your thinking of getting anything from this company DONT...

Any help or ideas greatly appreciated
Glen

Yep I bought my apexiN1, Cusco front strut, emanage, rsr tiatnium springs and cat replacement from them about 2 years ago...Was a real pain...i had to end up calling the guy but he didnt speak english very werll.. dont remember his name. I was happy when the parts eventually came and the prices were excellent but I dont think i would do it again since I had the same problem contacting him etc.

THat and they havent updated their website since then which makes me wonder about their interest in int'l orders.
