Unhappy Backlog at HRE???

Has anyone experienced the same thing?

It's frustrating... I have ordered a set of HREs with the Hong Kong distributor... on 6 Oct... and it's now nearly 2 months.

First, there was a painting error and now they have a backlog on the inner barrels???

What a disappointment... I was looking forward to the rims... I know we have to wait for the good things... but 2 months for a set of rims? hmmm...

I was going to put those rims on when I get back to Hong Kong... Now I have to wait for another week (supposedly)...

For rims that's going for this sort of money, I would have thought the schedule will be a bit more certain... I could have got the Techarts 19" Formula GTS by now...

By then, the euro went sky rocketed... Hongie dollars is pegged against the greenback... so I thought I could get a better deal with HREs... but now the wait...

sigh.
