There is no need to go overseas for Europian plates. Price, shipping and quality can be found right here in the US. I went there today and checked them out so that I can safely give personal assurance for what I endorse

Internet ordering, Live person to talk to, 877 telephone number, all shipping by Fed-ex.

They have been manufacturing plates for over 14 years. You can now deal direct. this is where the resellers get their plates.

Mattman Enterprises, (877) 836-4526, ask for "Courtney" and tell them you are from SCOA for special treatment. SCOA pricing begins at $9.25 for a plate. 10am to 5pm (PST)

I am writing it off as a loss and will learn from the experience. I would suggest you avoid them and if interested in Euro Plates use a different vendor.
Actually the order was recieved. I am not making excusses on a lost and delayed order but it should be known the order arrived. I am also a smart owner now, hence me seeing this post as I had throught it was resolved.

Here is a qoute letting is know the order recieved.

"Tyler,

Wanted you to know that I received my plate and bracket today by priority mail after just 15 weeks since I ordered on Dec 16th of last year.
There was no paperwork or explanation attached or included so I have no idea if this was the original plate or if you reproduced it and resent it but either way you should know it did show up finally.
Thanks I guess are in order.

Ken Wagar"

This was a second order that we sent, we never did see the first from USPS. I hope now to browse the forum.

Thanks,

Tyler

I have to agree with that. I was just about to delete my europeanplates bookmark. Ken posts here is regularity, so it is odd that he has not come back to his thread with the resolution before now...

Everyone,
Sorry I haven't been back on this issue before this. I did finally recieve the ordered plate some 4 months after my original order and I did contact Tyler to thank him for completing the order. I should have also posted here.

While I am glad the issue was resolved I would not use them again as the communications were very poor and they are very difficut to get in touch with.

I later ordered a different plate from a different vendor and recieved it in 10 days with no problems and it was 100% custom made.

So in the future I would use other choices but to each his own. A 15 week wait and very poor communications is IMO unacceptable.
