Racemesh grilles

Just wondering if anyone else has waited a long time for their Racemesh grilles? I ordered a set of black powder coated fog light grilles from one of their distributors back on Jan. 17 and I'm still waiting. Most vendors list a wait time of 3-5 weeks.

I have heard they do take a while to get them (based on posts here on the forum), but I have no personal experience with them.

Mark at vettenuts told me it's due to some port strike and that all the GM parts including them are baco ordered big time, they expect them to be in by end of March they hoped.

He is correct, there has been major disruptions to the West Coast ports due to union actions etc. Our company has had many many shipments delayed, we have had to exercise "Force Majure".
If the items are coming from overseas they would be definitely delayed.

Mine have been delayed as well. However vendor stated they lost my initial order. I ordered back in late December. Have been told they should ship this week. Let's see...
