A "pretty nasty email" isn't going to make your wheels arrive any quicker. From someone who works in customer service seeing something like what you posted pisses me off. Ricardo doesn't manage how long it takes for your wheels to arrive. His job is to make them and ship them, not manage how long it takes. Be patient, it's international it takes a little longer.


lol kids irritate the fuck out of me.

haha yeah sit down with your sippy cup and relax kid, probably alot older than you are to haha, not to be rude or anything, but it doesnt take a month to ship something, iv sent packages to australia from canada and it only took 5 days, dont believe me ask bryanH, and he probably used the shittest shipping method, it was $6 for shipping, i would have paid the extra $10 to have it to my house in a week but there was no option, its honestly so annoying waiting over a month for something to come in the mail, its alittle over board, and yes i work in customer service and people piss me off lol

I would suggest trying Besour out...they do AWESOME customs and I am certain they will ship to the UK.
http://www.besour.com/

Alternatively, try contacting a company that does a shape/design you like and ask them to make you a custom white deck...chances are if they dont already stock that color/size they will make you one (- custom orders are a fairly common practice in the fingerboard community)

Hope this helps out a bit dude.

My last question I promise anyway this has probably been asked before but anyone know of any tdlb's in the UK and where to buy saw one place that sells them in the UK but gets them from USA and looks a bit dodgy tbh

you can find them on ebay and amazon

Not TDLB's but these guys sell some cheap trucks and are UK based.

its hard to find TDLB trucks in stores in the UK, lots of places (like tesco for example) just stopped stockin tech decks a couple of years ago

you mite be lucky to find some in a big TOYS R US store, and i have found sum in a store called TK max about a year ago

your best bet is too get sum off amazon or ebay or just save up an get sum Y trucks

i would never recommend supportin fingerboardsUK they just mass buy chinese crap an sell em on making a huge profit, without ever contributing anything to the fingerboard scene, they totally suck

the only legit uk fingerboard distribution is thenorwoodproject

does anyone know how i can clean the outside of my oak wheels? i got abunch of black crap on them from shreddin in my buddys shead and now they dont roll smooth on my desk, i usually scrape the stuff off with a razor blade, but its becoming abit of a pain in the neck lol, so i was wondering if there was an easier way of doing this lol
thanks

Have you tried just rubbing your wheels in a circular motion against a sheet of clean paper? Most people swear by that method. Sometimes I use a little bit of water to rub off the dirt and other stuff on the urethane TDLB wheels.

Hey man, I'm currently in BC, Canada and just ordered some Oaks from the Oak Wheels site on the 12th.

What was the estimated time for them to arrive? A little over a month?

Alright, thanks for the info on the times.

I ordered them, and a day after that Flatface restocked. Oh well.

I get it though, doing everything he does to run Oak Wheels is a lot of work. As long as they arrive eventually i'm happy.

Aha shit thats brutal man, i wish i would have gotten mine threw flatface, probably woulda came in alot quicker.

I'm impatient when it comes to waiting for stuff to come in the mail sometimes lol

but yeah no problem man, and yeah i wouldnt doubt it,

do the flatface BRR edition wheels have any wobble/problems on TD longboard trucks? Can you still buy TDLB trucks in stores in the US?

is the coloured grip that you can get from brutal and other little companys the sameshit that comes from the local skateshop? looking to do alittle patch of grip in my tape, i just dont wanna over pay and wait like 2 weeks for something i can go take a 10 minute drive and get?

I always assumed so
