Just received a mail from Heiko's wife telling me to wait until Sep to see what can be done with my payment or lights. I've told her I do not want to wait that long.
Anyway my other supplier has confirmed that he has 10 sets of these lights in stock ready for dispatch. I've already paid him for 4 of these on behalf of members here. Anyone else want these?
They are ?350 a set + shipping.

I may end up with two sets of lights. If so I can sell on to someone in the US.

Did she give you a Tracking number to prove that she has indeed sent the lights. I know my supplier has provided you with the tracking number for the DHL Air Waybill.

This doesn't make sense. Heiko said that he didn't have stock and had ordered 5 sets of lights required for the GB together. If his wife has found the lights to ship to you why is she telling me to wait until Sep.

Yeah I know it makes no sense. She had told me since last Thursday that she found a set and was shipping them to me on Saturday. So I heard nothing Saturday or Sunday and filed a complaint with paypal on Saturday which we probably have no chance of collecting. Then this morning she emails me to say she shipped them on Saturday. No tracking number, nothing.
Last Wednesday I gave her the BMW part numbers for the lights and she said she would look. Then on Thurs she said she would ship them Saturday.
I got your DHL tracking number the DHL site says the number provided is not valid.

Thanks,
I get something with my name but all the info is in German. Looks like something shipped.
So the DHL global site in the US doesnt track or even recognize a package initiated in Germany.
Seems real global. Unbelievable. Its global just as long as the package initiated in the USA.
Does DHL ever try to use their own website to understand how useless it is.?
Heres my package status...
Elektronische Sendungsdaten liegen vor
hmmmm

That sounds fishy. Why would the wife say one thing to him and the opposite to you?
The whole thing is fishy. I don't believe she shipped anything. I have asked for a shipping number or a shipper name and have received no reply. What is the chance of recovering anything from Paypal?
If I receive anything, I bet they are the wrong lights even though I gave her specific part numbers ordered.
