That's unfortunate to hear. Ben (the person I corresponded with over email) was pretty responsive around April. I placed an order for a kit in late March and received the kit either late April or sometime in May I believe (was traveling for work, so don't remember exactly when it arrived).

Ben did mention back in April they were only making kits to order, which might explain the delay if they got caught up with other things.

I've been dealing with slowdowns and delays with other products from the UK due to their shut-downs and increased cost of shipping.

I wouldn't blame the Anembo guys too much. Things are really slow and backed up these days. They said on tv that the supply chain problems and backups may last through this Christmas and into Christmas 2022.

Posting here my experience. I saw this thread and ordered from Anembo on 12/11/22, with eyes wide open to probable long timeline. Periodic email status inquiries were replied to promptly, with expected mentions of staffing shortfalls and supply issues cited, along with production progress. Initial estimation I was given was early Feb. It delivered to me yesterday (4/24/23).

I've got the built diff all ready to go, and looking forward to installing in the next few weeks!

Glad it worked out, even if they do seem to continue to be optimistic with their expected delivery times.

Please feel free to share details on the install here. :headbang

Nice, curious how much it was to ship it over here to the US, assuming you are in the US.

I am indeed, socal to be exact. I bought the diff install kit and rear diff mount. Shipping for both was 54.17GBP. I have no idea how much that is in real money.
