Fedex have told me they can't say when my (pre-lockdown ordered) FCP package will arrive...

Ordered from FCP last Weds. Delivered this morning.

By comparison I’m still waiting for local parts sent last Weds by NZ Couriers. Def quicker from the US atm.

Yay mine is finally on way to my redirected address, I think it got held up due to initially going to a work address where everything was put on a hold for delivery.

Had an order from FCP euro delivered yesterday, ordered weekend before lockdown.

Got an email from Demontweeks saying my shocks and struts shipped, ordered weekend before lockdown, will see if they arrive too.

Keen to hear how you get on with that.

My (faux) Alcantara arrived from Amazon yesterday and the aluminium M3 suspension arms arrived from Schmiedmann today.

Can't install the arms until I can get an alignment. ?

Anyone happen to know where I can buy a can of black wrinkle paint? For some reason its not classified as Essential, which is preposterous.

I'm too tight to buy anything overseas with the absolute crap NZD at the moment.

Will wait for all the other economies to start to suffer first.

Anyone know what the tyre situation is during lockdown?

Put a sticker that says "Ambulance" on your door and you'll be sweet. ?

Haha. Actually I answered my own question - Bridgestone has some stores open for essential vehicles. For me, my vehicle is essential to get to the supermarket.

Seriously, Amazon are amazing. My package arrived one day late which I consider pretty good under the circumstances so I thought nothing of it... then I received this email from Amazon.
