Default Green Filter Orders

In general, how long did it take to receive your Green Filters orders from the SLK Store? I ordered mine last Sunday. My order says processed but I have not gotten any shipping info. Also, I see the filters are sold out again in the store. Thanks for any replies.

I know Green did make a mess with the batch that got sent to Bill and they had to be returned this kinda messed the schedule up a bit as you can imagine

I ordered two filters on June 1 and I haven't heard anything more about them. Dan, thanks for the info. I hope we will get a E-mail or something advising us of the status of our orders.

I'm going to want to order a set for my new 55. Will the "new" filters be in stock in the next 2 weeks?

I think the courier was trying to reach the southern hemisphere via the north pole. Just kidding, I thought Doug would've chimed in by now.

Anyhow, I know Bill T is doing his darn best to send the Green Air Filters, as he had a bad batch initially and had to send the initial batch back.

In the meantime, it may help pass the time by removing and cleaning the airbox and using compressed air to clean the OEM paper filters while waiting. It will also allow one to be familiar with the procedure, sort of like a "dry run".

I have worked out option 2 with green filters to compensate you for your patience in waiting for your orders.

Orders older than 3 weeks will be drop shipped from Green Filter

Regards
Bill T

Note: I will forward a email from Green Filter to your registered address with the slkworld store explaining the issues they have encountered. Its just out of my control.
That's cool, I still want the filters and will wait until they ship.

That leaves only 2 orders that have not shipped, Yes Doug (412 Driver) you are still back ordered.

Sorry this was out of my control, Green Filter USA says it will not happen again

Does this mean 26 pairs/26 orders?
