I had to ask multiple friends to send him emails over that period just asking for product information to see if he's still reading his emails. Instead of responding to mine, he chose to reply back to them. That says it all. In the end, I had to use Paypal to force him to respond and give me back the credit. He definitely lost my business.
Hmm, I purchased mine (rears) from another member that sold his 997, but have only heard good things about Frank. Thanks for the heads up.

I've heard good things about him also but I think its the way how he made a simple problem into a bigger one. Sure everyone make mistakes but it's how you choose to resolve it. In my case, he clearly got all my emails, gave me the runaround, and in the end I had to use other means to get back my credit.

I received a DHL tracking number but that thing hasn't provided an update since 3/23.

Any others have issues with not receiving your shipment?
I finally received my lights from Orange Tuning today. Frank responded a couple days after I emailed him and asked me to keep waiting since he had sent numerous lights to the U.S. without issues so I decided to be patient a little longer. I didn't think it would take 33 days but at least they are here now. Frank did ship them out right away after receiving my payment so they must have been delayed in customs as some of you mentioned. I am hoping to install them later today.

I got dectane/depo taillights from Frank. It took a month!
I recently got the front DRLs from him as well. They came in 10-12 days. I am assuming it has something to do with US customs as well.

frank at orange tuning

I Have NOT had a good experience with Frank at Orange Tuning. He's great when you are spending money but the only way I have gotten any response from him with light issues is to make threats. Even just when i had a question about the resistors I had a forum member answer it for me - radio silence from Frank. I could go on but I am in the middle of dealing with another issue with orange so I won't post yet.....but it's coming beleive me. You've been warned.

In comparison, I had an issue with one of my front LED lights from RotTec.
I emailed Ray some photos of the water inside the light housing and he shipped me off a new light. He's a superstar in my opinion.

Great to know... I don't mind paying a little more for great service and reliability
