Does anyone know if Wick-It is open

[Deputy Dog]

Does anyone know if Wick-it is closed for the virus? I have left a phone message and two emails with no response. Monster is apparently open as they responded to a text right away, but I don't want to send my ECU to Canada if I don't have to. To afraid of it getting lost or hold up in shipping somewhere. Plus they say to value the ECU with the shipper for $1.00. Something about products coming into Canada getting taxed or something. If it gets damaged or lost I'd be **** out of luck as I know the ECU is worth much more than that.

did it twice no problem dont be scared

Haven’t heard of one problem yet!!
Sent mine in and got it back straight away��
Don’t be skeeeerd,,, It’s all good ��

[AY4B]

They are open. I ordered my Stage 2 on 4/19 and sent my ECU on Monday. I got email confirmation that they had the order and will email me when they ship it back.

[AY4B]

No need to speak to anyone. I just ordered threw their website. You have to print out the form on the site to give them the specifics of your order, fill it out and send it in with the ECU and the Air box lid if you ordered a stage 2.

[308gunner]

Yes...wick it is open!!!!

The ecu is going in for service and not for sale, the shipping value shouldn't cause any issues with Revenue Canada.

I'm not shipping an ECU for $1.00 insurance.

[Deputy Dog]

Hmmm, now which one to send it to. Monster is much closer to me since I am in Michigan, maybe I would get a faster turnaround. Also, since I read that Wick-it sends the ECU info to Monster to do the flash and sends it back to Wick-it I may as well send it straight to Monster. Thank you for all your responses, here's hoping things go well.

" Monster " is located in Canada, it's possible that with the difference in currency exchange, you might save some money ????? ..... Maybe ...... Mike :thumbup:

[fatboy]

price is in us dollars

[308gunner]

I would keep it in the U.S. because of the virus....you never know... customs....and use FED EX!

:agree:

Why FedEX?

[308gunner]

Why FedEX?

I dont trust the U.S. Mail. I use fed ex overnight..it cost more..but worth it.

[Deputy Dog]

Well yesterday I sent it UPS overnight to Canada, hope I did the right thing. Sent a message to Monster to let me know the moment it gets there, they said OK. I am definitely worried.

[AY4B]

I dont trust the U.S. Mail. I use fed ex overnight..it cost more..but worth it.I should have done that, I sent mine in By USPS on Monday and it didn't ship back till yesterday(Friday).

You got it back safely...that's all that matters.

Keep us informed on your progress

Finding out with some ebay purchases that USPS is really backlogged/slow in some regions. Some 1st class items taking two weeks from 1200 miles away :(

[Deputy Dog]

I shipped it Friday Afternoon (overnight) at the UPS store here in southwest Mi. Just did the tracking number and it says in route will get there Tues by end of day. What the hell paid big bucks to get it there overnight and it won't get there till Tuesday. Says it is in New York. Now Monster is located in Ontario just across the Michigan line. Tracking number says it was shipped from Michigan to Kentucky, then shipped to New York where it is now. Man I don't understand there shipping proceeedure.

[troop]

I just think it's the way it's going to be for awhile. I think FedEx is the most consistent during these times ..

Any word yet from monster?

[Deputy Dog]

No, tracking says out for delivery by end of day. Hopefully Monster will text, as I ask as soon as they get it. Fingers crossed

[AY4B]

I had mine delivered yesterday.

[Deputy Dog]

Got a text from Monster said the he had it and the install is basically done, will ship back tomorrow (yea). I told them I had a Two Brothers exhaust with their cat delete, and I had 1 baffle in the cat delete from LaMonster. I ask them if I should remove the baffle, that I didn't want to lose low end performance. They said yes it would run better without the baffle, so I guess while I'm waiting for the return I will pull the exhaust and remove the baffle. Pain in the ass to pull those springs off, last time I used a tie down strap in combo with there spring removal tool, which worked pretty good but still a pain.

I know its a pain...well on a good note...at least you got some good information from monster fuel...basically go on and get it over with....he told me the same thing..to remove the baffles, the tune needs to breathe.

[AY4B]

I may need to go visit Ricky Sutton if I want the baffle removed. I know it is tack welded on and don't want to damage the pipe with an oversized grinder cut. Plus he is a lot better at removing and installing than I am.

[308gunner]

What's the shipping status now...

[Deputy Dog]

They said it was to be shipped yesterday, but haven't got a tracking #, so I hope it is on it's way. Not sure how long it should take since they are just across the border from Michigan. Got the baffle out of the cat delete. Can't wait to get it. Suppose to be nice this Saturday here, hope it comes in time.

[308gunner]

You got a tracking number yet?

[Deputy Dog]

No, and have not received it yet. Thought it might be here by today, however usps did delivered a package this morning, but it was not the ECU. Just sent a message asking for the tracking number. It was supposed to have been sent out Wednesday. Hope their's no problem.

[Deputy Dog]

Got the tracking number late Sunday afternoon, surprised they answered on Sunday. Anyway, suppose to be here today.

[308gunner]

What's the word deputy?

[Deputy Dog]

Just got here, so relieved, can't wait to get it put back on. I'll let you know how the bike reacts to the changes. Suppose to be a little nicer tomorrow, so will give it a try then.

Excellent... theres no more downtime...the ECU was it..just in time for spring/summer..this is the best time to do any ugrades..change tires...the beginning of may to june....what model of spyder do you have?

[Deputy Dog]

2018 F3s now with stage 2 ECU, Two Brothers exhaust with cat delet, no baffles, K & N filter. Hopefully will take it out today and see what she does. Still a little chilly, but anxious to test her out.

[308gunner]

Awesome...Please share your riding review with us..

[Deputy Dog]

Well I took it out today for a short 20 mile ride with my two Grandsons who were on their own bikes. All I can say is Holy sh t, even had my wife with me and man what a difference. Sounds awesome. Gets up to 80 mph is seconds. One Grandson was driving his dads Harley he couldn't begin to keep up with me. The other Grandson was driving my F6B with his wife to be, that I just sold him (which has been been upgraded with exhaust and torq lopes. He couldn't even keep up until after about 60, really surprised me. Didn't get to any highways just back county roads.

Try this. Ordered parts in UK. Tracking said UK to Germany. Germany to China. China to Singapore. Singapore back to China, held 2 weeks. China to Korea, held 1 week. Korea to Sydney Aus, held 1 week. Sydney to Perth. Total 5 weeks for small parts. Phew!

Jeez Baz, you're lucky!! :shocked: I've had worse/longer delays in just getting stuff from Queensland to South Aus!! (Childers QLD to Mt Barker SA actually) A few years back I ordered 2 separate items from the same place, but they were a little bit fragile, so they were sent in 2 separate padded envelopes.... only the courier's 'Guaranteed Next Working Day Delivery' took 55 working days FOR JUST ONE OF THOSE TWO envelopes to get here - the 'quicker envelope' arrived at 10 am on the very next working day (10am to 10am, not too shabby delivery time, really...) while the other one took a long & devious tour thru every State in Australia except the one it needed to reach (it saw WA 3 times!), hit all of the mainland Territories (including Jervis Bay!), and languished for a week in a Melbourne Mail Centre TWICE before it reached me!! :banghead: And this was all 'in Country' too, with the correct address and Post Code, all clearly typed in heavy type large bold letters in the appropriate spaces on the front, AND there was a clear 'Return Address' label on the back too!! So it SHOULD'VE been easy enough to get it to the right place in the appropriate time, especially since the other one made it so easily; but that one, it seemed the courier's staff saw that particular envelope as a challenge!! :cus:

The supplier was extremely apologetic when I first chased it up with them, and they actually despatched a 'replacement' for the then missing item the same afternoon I informed them I'd only received one of the two envelopes. That arrived at 4pm the very next day, along with a Gift Card for almost the same value of the item to 'compensate me for my inconvenience' and they told me to keep the original when it (eventually) arrived, so I really can't complain about the supplier at all :clap: :firstplace: ..... but I do try not to use that particular courier any more! :rolleyes:

I guess that sometimes, we just get lucky. Other times.... not so much! :shocked:

Hey did you get to ride on the open highway yet? ...and let it run?
