Ebay M-tech steering wheel question

nano10 · 06-09-2008, 02:17 AM

for those of you who have ordered the m-teh steering wheel from qalbeli, how long did it take to ship to you?

I have been impatiently waiting for mine so i was hoping somebody could give me an idea of how long it will take.

As soon as it comes in longtran has offered to help me with install

. I am extremely exitied to start the mods on my car and meet forum member in the process.

pretty much everybody here seems to be really cool and nice people.

Mine was over Christmas, so I think it didn't ship out after 3 or 4 days and took a little less than 2 weeks to get to me, so I think shipping time was about a week!

Not to jack your thread or anything, but does anybody know about fitting the paddle shifters to the M-tech wheel?

I335 · 06-09-2008, 06:33 AM

Mine took exactly 1 week - I was very impressed. I doubt it would be more than 2 weeks to CA. How long has it been since you ordered?

Kev · 06-09-2008, 08:14 AM

It depends. When I ordered my airbag from him, it took almost 2 weeks. When I ordered the M-DCT steering wheel, it only took 4 days.

E90SLAM · 06-09-2008, 08:17 AM

I wonder how long will it take longtran to install this time...

last time he only need about 9 mins to install mine....

Kev · 06-09-2008, 08:51 AM

If you know where to pop the springs, it'll take about 10 mins, so that's about right

carguy19 · 06-09-2008, 09:21 AM

I spoke to him over the weekend.

The shipping company is on strike in sweden until the earliest wednesday this week.

So my order and yours too Im sure, will not ship until wednesday the earliest.

If you get the m-tech perforated wheel with the paddle cutouts, you just bolt them in, direct fit. If you get the M3 wheel (tri-color), then you need to cut them in yourself or buy the new M3 tri-color wheel with the cutouts for the new drive logic tranny and then you have to buy the paddles (which are still hard to get) to go with it as they are a different cutout and paddle and a little rewiring is required to make them work.

That sucks, i placed my order on May 30th and was looking forward to it getting here this week....
To those that have bought from him does he provide some sort of tracking number? Also was anyone else charged an international processing fee? I thought if i bought from an auction that was in U.S. currency that i wouldnt be charged this fee.....

carguy19 · 06-09-2008, 03:52 PM

The guy is rock solid and honest from his feedback on ebay and on here.

Hes answered every email promptly and has been apologetic about the delays offering to paypal my money back until the strike is done. I trust him based on whats been said on the board here. Nobody has ever had an issue with him.

He told me he would provide tracking as soon as the packages were en route.

he goes by qalbeli on ebay but the name of the business is AGE styling that you are getting the parts from.

tonmonde · 06-09-2008, 04:56 PM

mine took about 1week to LA

nano10 · 06-09-2008, 09:28 PM

look what came in today

I got tracking number, he shipped through usps and i didnt get it until last night and as soon as i checked it this morning at work i saw it was arriving today.

P.S. sorry about the pics i used my cell phone and before joining this forum i never needed a camera as my fiancee always took enough pictures for the both of us. just my luck she goes out of the country just when i join the forum.

PSUBALL10 · 06-10-2008, 09:54 AM

Recieved an email from him this morning and he provided me with a tracking number. Went thru customs on 06/07 so i should have it soon. I guess mine went out before the strike

FrankoQ · 06-10-2008, 11:55 AM

Mine took about a week.

Could you let us know when he shipped it? He emailed a couple of days ago to let me know about the courier strike. So I'm wondering if your's was shipped before the strike.

Thanks!

Mine was shipped today. He said the strike is over.

He said I should see the parts in a few days.

How did you get it in Alcantara? Custom? Or was it available that way?
