9Lives Racing - Run Silent, Run Deep
 

Has anyone had any recent dealings with 9LR?

I finally put together enough coins in early November 2022 to spring for a Wang and was hoping to get it in before Christmas. At first the notifications of progress were encouraging (if not a bit "cutesy" - but okay). Then in early December everything went quiet. I thought, "Well, it's Christmastime so they're probably not working". Well, December is gone and we're halfway through January and there has not been a peep. I emailed, called and left messages and I just sent a message via Facebook (I feel so dirty having done that).

I'm just wondering if my order is an anomaly, or has 9LR "gone rogue"?

You might try a PM to flier129.

not at all.

they had a MASSIVE MASSIVE sale on black friday that has them covered up for well...a bit...

Ive gotten stuff in the past few weeks(wang, pylons, carnards, end plates, damn dam, splitter ramps) and still waiting on my splitter and sturdy-boi's. A buddy just got his sturdy-boi splitter mounts the other day and he ordered those in late October I think(before their black friday sale).

They arent a big shop from what I know so when they have massive order volume it takes them a minute.

Mae is usually pretty good to respond to stuff. Johnny is on Facebook quite a bit so I would expect an answer from him.

Got your PM and sent it over to them. Lead-times up to 7 weeks it seems currently, easily could go over that when massive black-friday orders coupled with hard-to-get things from suppliers.

If you didn't get a response I would certainly call it abnormal to not get a reply. The responses you received on 12/5, 12/6, 12/15 are over the build process and are accurate. Somebody will likely double-check your order tomorrow since I sent them a message today.

Edit: Ah, a round of Covid made its way through the shop.

Thanks for the response. I just was looking for an update since it seemed like I had exhausted all other avenues of communication.

Thanks again!

Johnny, Mae, Marcus, and all at 9LR all great peoples!

I put an order in 2/8 for sturdi bois and haven't heard anything since. Pretty upset at this point.

I know the frustration with not knowing... but seriously, call them. They have been nothing but helpful on multiple complete aero orders.

I should have updated the thread. I got in contact with them and it's all straightened out. They were struggling with personnel issues and a flood of orders and were playing catch up.

All is good. I got my wing and the world is set.
