JDL Catch Can

Has anyone else ordered this from @JDLAutoDesign besides me and not gotten a response to any PM's or emails?

It's been over a month. I know they say 4-6 weeks but i could've sworn they mentioned in a thread a few weeks ago that they were making a batch of them and shipping out no long after. I'd feel much better if they'd at least respond to my message or emails but unfortunately that isnt the case.

They must be busy making them all haha! I hear good things about JDL so I wouldn't worry about it.

JDL historically has long lead times. It's the side effect of being a small shop. Great quality though! Love my JDL UEL.

Have you tried calling them?

I was lucky enough that when I ordered my UEL header form them they have some in stock. It only took 1-2 weeks to do the ceramic coat. Good quality stuff.

I can imagine how bad it is to wait for a part. I waited three months for my rims.

JDL's workmanship (workpersonship?) is a thing of beauty but as @Freeman said they are a small shop and small hiccups in supply and workshop can be magnified greatly and lead to longer build times.
It is given that your parts will take longer than expected.
I have parts on order with JDL and I don't expect to see them until they arrive*.









*Yeah! How philosophical is that?

Calling them is always the best way to contact them. They say so themselves. That being said, don't call too much, because you're pulling someone away from the welding bench.

I have no doubts about the quality. Just not used to not being replied to that's all

I'll just patiently wait. I just thought it was weird so i thought i'd ask if it was a normal thing.

Thanks guys!
