Default Is Future Classic out of business?

After searching a few threads I settled on ordering 7mm spacers for a Cayman GTS from Future Classic. During my search I also came across a couple of peeps who made an order recently but never received it. They either had a super hard time getting in touch with Future Classic - they were in the middle of a move apparently - or they never got a hold of them altogether. So, before making my order I reached out to them to check whether or not this is true. I never heard back from them after a week. I actually ordered stuff from them before and it was flawless. I wonder if they are still in business or not despite their website being up. Hopefully the owner sees this and can provide a response. I love what they do and I would like to continue giving them my business.

Any update here? Did you get your spacers?

I heard back from FC, yes! Apparently operations are back to running smoothly. I haven’t ordered my spacers yet.

Great.

I ordered a set on 1/29 and have heard nothing yet. I did reach out today for an update, but not too concerned yet.

Going on 2 weeks with no shipment notification nor any reply after 2 emails. Not great.

You're being far too patient, especially when there're plenty of other spacer options to choose from.

If it were me, I'd cancel the payment through your credit card company, and never tell Future Classics of the payment cancellation.
Let them chase you down for months with no replies.

I wonder if the address is accurate:
Future Classic HQ
1100 Market St
Dresher, PA 19025

I could literally pop my head in there this week for you if you want - I take the PA-TP to and from work every day, and I pass by the Exit they're right off of.

I just did this yesterday after yet another attempt to reach out with no reply. How hard can it be to send a response, any response?? Even if they said, sorry, it will likely be another week or two, I would have been fine with that.

Anyway, moving on. The problem is, I'm not seeing many other spacer options which fit our 5 prong axles. I see that maybe 4wheelspacers.com has some but their website doesn't give a clear indication they will fit my '21 GT4. Their dropdown only shows up to 2020. Also no mention of 3 vs. 5 prong axles.

Update 2/22/23. I just received my spacers from Future Classic after placing my order on 1/29.

Not sure if it was a coincidence that the day after I disputed the charge with my CC company, they were shipped out, but that was the timeline. Never received any response from FC at any point in the process.

Default Anyone buy from Future Classic recently?

I ordered a spacer set a week ago and was wondering why nothing was happening in terms of shipping, I searched and it seems like they've had some trouble in the past year.

Anyone buy anything from them recently can comment?

Thanks.

Negative… I’ve reached out to them multiple times via email, and they never reply. I live 10-15 mins away, and have contemplated knocking on their door on numerous occasions to ask them “WTF is wrong with you guys?”

I just got a pair of spacers from 4wheelspacers.com and they are very nice, at a nice price, too. If one wants my take-off 5mms I will include the brand new unused longer bolts that came with my new ones - PM for details.

That's unfortunate. Been a while now and no action, doesn't look promising.

Does anyone else make a spacer like theirs, with the hub bolts to locate?
