I waited 13 weeks from the time of order to the time they were in Cali, ready to ship to me (which didn't take long). Hang in there. It can (and does) take a while to get these wheels and I was getting pretty irritated/impatient, myself, but the wait was worth it when I did get my Works.

One thing I took away from my experience is that all the distributor can do is tell you what they're told by Work. Your AZ distributor only knows so much about what's going on in Japan. I found that when I called and I was told "oh it will be 12-15 total weeks" or "oh you're on week 10 from ordering these, they'll be here in a couple weeks; probably on my next container" I was just being told what they could assume based on Work Wheels' operations and their experience. If you push and dig a little deeper, the distributer should be able to find a tracking number or order number for your specific order and Work can let the distributor know if they're built, if they're loaded up, almost to the port, etc.

Sorry for the lengthy message. Again, just hang in there. It does take a while and, I know, it's frustrating.
