Any word if these people even exist anymore? I've tried emailing them, no answer.

I'm looking for the white face gauges.

They are kinda bad at customer service from what I've heard. WS6Store.com stopped selling their products because of that. They could never get a hold of them when they needed to.

Compared to the couple months at a time or not receiving it at all, I would consider it progress

I bought one of the last few from ws6store and had no worries. It just sucks that Macewen has to be a shitty business man because apparently ws6store doesn't even want to put up with him anymore

I bought the silver gauges off his website back in August and I accidently clicked the wrong shipping option and he called me up on the phone the next day to confirm and we chatted for a few minutes about his designing them and stuff. I think he said he moved to a new location and thats why things were mixed up for a while since he doesn't have 4394853 employees to cover everything.

So I've got nothing but good things to say.

From all the other responses I see about him, the guy seems to always have an excuse or reason as to why it took months at a time to receive the product. If it were me and I wasn't able to ship the product immediately, I wouldn't advertise it for sell

Sale Brian, sale.

For real though, the dude is a 50% kind of businessman. You either;

a. get a super easy transaction that ships immediately or
b. wait months and months and hear nothing from him, then bitch him out when you FINALLY get a hold of him, then he ships them.

It is a big gamble if you decide to buy them, but he is currently the only guy who offers a set that requires no needle removal.

I almost ordered a set, but then his C.S. went to **** so I decided to go another route. For me you could offer the best product on the market, but shitty C.S. ruins any chance of a purchase from me. I not only want a quality product when spending my hard earned money, but I want reliable C.S. to go along with it. And I don't think thats too much at all to ask from any legit business.

Ls1camaroguy just called him and bugged him up until the point his item was received. I'd just be persistent about it and hope for the best. Because seriously, there isn't that much good to say about him on this board.

I know, I'm thinking of getting his guages and matching them up to the Phatom Autometer Guages. If not, Sport Comp II's.

I just talked with the dude in August, and sent a reply to that email- nothing. I called him twice today. Nothing. Is he moving, moved, or is the dude hiding from authorities or something (like moving a cache around so we won't find it!!!). Seems straight ACMish.
