I guess my frustration with this is that now days with Fedex, UPS, DHL there is absolutely no reason for this type of lead times. Secondly, their website leaves the window open for sooner if possible. From everything I have read, that should be removed because they are never sooner than 5-6 months.

it isn't the fault of the carrier---here is my take on the wait times:

Ship your part to them: 1 week or less
Shelby to sign: 24 weeks
Ship your part back: 1 week or less

what Shelby could do is post signing dates and then you could ship your part in time for a particular signing date...

Meaning the part could be machined then fedex to whereever CS is at the time. He could then sign and place back in a fedex box and ship back to the parts house to be finally packaged and shipped ot the buyer.

Yep, kind of what i was thinking. Hell they could just communicate it that way. Deadline is Jan 1 for a Jan 10 signing and with return shipping you should have it by Jan 21st. There are far better ways to manage the issue.

"better" eludes them for some reason...

I have sent a couple of emails and they have been good about responding but they provide no status updates, for the most part it is in Carrol Shelby hands! The only thing that really irritated me was the fact that they charged my credit card way back when I first ordered it, rather than waiting until it was shipped!

are you listing the reason that you should not have gotten a signed Shelby plaque?

I know I touched on that topic on the TS thread. I guess they dont care that they are breaking the law.
