Anybody ordered from Pukar recently?

Post by spitfire980 » Mon Oct 05, 2020 7:01 pm

Hi Guys

AS the title says, has anybody ordered from Pukar designs recently?

I placed an order for 8 Alpina wheel badges on 20th Aug, to this day, there has been no updates and all im getting is automated replies

Yes, once you order he states that order will take longer than usual but 45+ days for 8 caps is way too long!

How many days from when you placed your order till they arrived?

That's a shame as I found when Pukar was running things I found he turned orders around fairly promptly. Also a pity as he has some good stuff.

I used these for Valves. They have wheel badges as well.

Good service.
