Funny you should mention it. They're a few weeks late with a number of ours as well. We initially ordered in early January, with them quoting 2 weeks lead time (instead of the usual 1), and we're still waiting for several to arrive (some came a week ago).

We've been in contact with them (we've called maybe seven or eight times, at least), and they're ostensibly trying to hurry things up down there, but we'll have to see if they turn up. They've tentatively said that they'll arrive this week, but with estimates varying from three weeks ago to two weeks from now, depending when you asked, I don't know what's likely to happen.

I'd suggest that you call them and ask for UPS red shipping (next-day air), and an expedited order.

On a related note, I've been informed that they want to ship "true metric" gears, instead of converted imperial ones--all that that means is that (for example) the thickness will be 5 mm instead of 4.76 mm = 3/16", the outside diameter of the hub will be 12 mm instead of 12.7 mm = 1/2", etc. That's fine with me, but maybe some teams will have issues with that (if they have tight tolerances, and depend on these dimensions). The teeth themselves will be the same, of course.

Incidentally, I'm looking for 4x MSG26-84, 2x MSG26-54 and 2x MSG26-26, but of course, those are hardly easy to come by. (But I'd like them if you've got them!)
