DO NOT buy from europeanplates.com

I order a euro plate frame from europeanplates.com and never got my order. I email them few times and all they said was.."We send your order and we have a trace on it"
I reply back saying "what trace?" & "what's the shipping tracking number"...they never reply back and is been more than a month since I order.

No big deal, order was just $16 but just want to warn others.

I have had the same experience with europeanplates.com too.

Ordered, never received anything.
Your thread just reminded me, I'm sending them another email.
I'm going to try and have my credit card go after them.
I bought mine in feb.

europeanplates.com has a bad rep on other forums too, like on bimmerforums.

i ordered my last plate from https://www.mattman-enterprises.com/...em&item_id=101. i found they have the best price, $15.25 before shipping. took less than two weeks to come in, and zero problems. they have other countries too, but the price will be different.

not the greatest pic, but the euro plate is on the front:

Be that as it may, those who have had a bad experience with them should at least notify the Better Business Bureau.

so whats the legality of this stuff, particularly in Texas? I hate Texas plates. Really do. I may go for the "State of the ARts' Plate.

and yeah, i finally agree to remove the front plate. it does look like shiet.

In Florida it is illegal to have another states or countries license plate on the front of the car. My brother was givena warning ticket for having a West Virginia tag on the front bumper.

Just lodged a BBB complaint against europeanplates.com... Wasted $35.00, but I guess I'm just more frustrated that a company would operate in this way. (No response to emails, non-delivery of product, etc)

Don't buy from europeanplates.com

Sorry to hear this.... They are located here in Seattle and I usually place my order by emailing them and I pick up my plates from their office..... Tyler (owner) did not charge me anything for the last plate he made for me since it was delayed a bit due to misprint (they sent me pictures of the misprint as well)..... My ED plate was stolen from my car and they were able to duplicate it..... Here is the end result....

Should have looked here first.

I should have read these posts first. It's my fault for not researching first. I ordered a plate from Europeanplates.com (a.k.a. Europeanplates.net) back in October. It is a SCAM. $50 in items never received. They waited 48 days (3 days over the 45 day period to refund from paypal) to respond and say it's on backorder. Never again.

File on IC3

Actually, anyone who did not receive any items from an online vender can file with the FBI via IC3.gov. The FBI will track the people down and show up at their door. Kinda cool.
