Mine is looking pretty nice, at least in the order confirmation. Appears just like this, on two lines of text. Hope they make it!

Anyone know how to actually track this?

I got the email with the tracking #, but the EMS website has no tracking information for this.

Use this Japanese EMS tracking site: https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/em.../index_en.html

If it's not there, then it may just not be in the system yet.

Which confirmation was that from?

Across the various confirmation emails I got, it was written out in at least 3 different orders, but the address on the final package was done right.

matthewdesigns 01-19-2016 01:08 AM

Third email, the one that followed the payment request.

stefanst 01-19-2016 07:52 PM

Just received mine- ordered on the 11th- 8 days ago. Seems legit!

Thanks for the tip!

slug_dub 01-19-2016 08:03 PM

Same here... order placed on the 11th, received today. :)

Thanks,

I didn't know EMS has a Japan specific tracking URL. Apparently I was trying to track with the Chinese EMS site.

I have to wonder if part of the problem that some folks are having involves this: There is no acknowledgement of my zip code on the package! Besides the unconventional (albeit rational) reversal of our standard address style, these five digits's absence can wreak havoc!

No, really, the wife sent a Christmas card to an address about two miles from here and it came back due to the zip code border being the main road between our homes. :dunno:

Anyway, someone assumedly stateside scrawled my zip on the package with a fat marker, and I picked it up today. One day, the temperature in my garage will crawl out of the teens...

I think you're probably right. Looking at a pic that was posted (from m.net), you can see the zip written in Sharpie on the package. It matches the zip for the location in the poster's profile: Hopatcong, New Jersey 07843

Congrats.
I saw in your other thread that you have installed it already too. It looks like you mounted it in the opposite orientation of how it was shown in this revlimiter mod link (Suzuki Cappuccino (Nopro) Washer Fluid Bottle ? revlimiter.net). I think I like it oriented the way you did it better. Just curious, was it still fairly straightforward to install it that way, or did you have to fab some convoluted brackets?

Roda 01-23-2016 04:29 PM

I was starting to get irritated, as mine had been showing 'in customs' since Tuesday, but it was delivered today. :D

Ordered on the 12th.

Not that I was in much of a rush, as the car's apart for a VVT swap.

it was just like that for a test fit. I've extended the wiring but I'm finding a way to mount it properly tomorrow.

Here is my bottle mounted. Barely clears the hood. It is impossible to make to 100% flat because the hood interferes but this will do. I used a piece of aluminum on the far end and a bolt with a plastic bushing on the drivers side

You can reverse all the elbows in the hood and point them to the opposite side. I got new rubber tubing and had to get a new t fitting bc the old one disintegrated. It is 5/32 windshield washer hose from autozone

Well, it was great while it lasted.

There has been such a run on them here lately though, maybe they will come back in stock again.

TurboTim 02-01-2016 09:11 AM

Awesome.

I'll sell mine for $150. hehe

Hoping so, I have 2 cars that could use this Mod...

M2Ken 02-02-2016 07:01 PM

Mine just arrived today. Granted the delivery was complicated because they left a digit off my mailing address. Once I figured that out, I marched down to my neighbor to pick it up. Glad I got in before the sellout, although I would trade for one of the fabricated aluminum cowl tanks offered in the classifieds earlier?

Mine ended up in customs then back to Japan. Just got delivered to them yesterday. Hopefully on the way again today. Seems they screwed up the zip code. Sigh...

Thanks for the info! Just ordered one. Watch them run out of stock.

It let you order it ok ... meaning they're not sold out anymore?


EDIT: Yep, I just tried it and the website let me put it in the shopping cart and proceed to checkout.

This is great then, it looks like they're back !! :x:

NotableGuest 02-11-2016 02:40 AM

I'm hoping you're right. Waiting on confirmation from vendor.

Well, before when they were sold out, it said SOLD OUT (duh) and you couldn't put one in your cart, let alone initiate the order.

Eunos91 02-11-2016 06:08 AM

just ordered one 5 min ago. no confirmation yet - fingers crossed!

FYI, most people were seeing about 24 hours between initiating the order and getting the response back to make the actual payment.

Got both 2 days ago. US Customs returned them for some reason and I was watching the tracking. Figured It was a zip code screw-up and emailed the last email (which was a live body email address) expressing the importance of having a correct zip.

She replied and sent them the next day. Frequent flyer miles...

good2go 02-11-2016 01:28 PM

^^ Congrats on finally getting them. I think you hold the record for most F'ed up delivery.

NotableGuest 02-11-2016 08:09 PM

Just got the confirmation and paid through PayPal. $42 total. Boom!

Huh, what shipping method did you choose? I'm in CA too, but mine was only $38.67

... or maybe the exchange rate went up. :dunno: (still a great price compared to domestic sources)

Regardless, it's good they are not sold out anymore!

g_reichow 02-14-2016 10:58 AM

Put my order in for two yesterday, one for each car.

SPAM WARNING!

I tried to order Saturday night. This is the ONLY place I have entered my email address in the past week, at least. Tonight I am getting bombarded with all sorts of junk email (560 at least count), scams (paypal, eBay) and "subscription confirmations".

BTW, the shipping brought this to over $43. Almost as much to ship as the unit itself? No thanks.

Wow, that sucks! Can anyone else who ordered one recently (looking at you compuw22c) confirm whether you got spammed also? Hopefully it was just a coincidence and the source is from somewhere else, but damn, 560 is off the charts.

I agree, the shipping is high for such a lightweight item, but it does ship from overseas and even at $43 total it is cheaper than other sources for that bottle. And again, it is dependent on the both the current exchange rate and the shipping method you choose.

Anyway, I hope their site hasn't gotten hacked or something and causes this option to go away. :ohnoes:


rleete 05-24-2016 06:02 AM

UPDATE:

Mail spamming appears to be unrelated to Ratukan. Apparently, mail server was breached. Over 700 emails last night (and that was after I set some filters to get the majority). Well over 2000 this morning, which makes that email address all but useless.

And, after looking at the replies above, $43 isn't all that bad. Overseas shipping is robbery.

Rumnhammer 11-11-2016 03:17 PM

Had problems
 
I tried ordering one of these and couldn't enter the correct phonetic spelling??? got everything else entered ok but can't seem to get past this WTF am I supposed to put in here?
Also had a hard time putting in the postal code, so entered it the way that seemed to work and then just added it in my address line as well.....

ridethecliche 11-11-2016 06:52 PM

Didn't know this was a thing! Going to order and set it up over the winter to get me a bit more room to work in the engine bay for go fast stuff and to tidy things up in there.

Rumnhammer 11-12-2016 08:19 AM

anyone
 
Anybody know how to properly place this order? Still having trouble.

Rumnhammer 11-12-2016 08:32 AM

alternative link
 
I found another source in Japan if anyone else is as frustrated as me with the other link
This one is more expensive, but it is still only about $80 shipped. Which is still better then $180.

Nice. That's within a buck of what I paid almost a year ago, and you're significantly farther away (from Japan) than I am.
