What's the deal with importvision?

I asked if they had what I wanted in stock and they said they did. Over 30 days and 12 excuses later (including "your items are now in customs and we expect them any day"), nothing has shipped.

Anyone else order from them recently?

Sounds like they might be in money trouble, no longer have the ability to order from some suppliers until they pay their payables.

Get your money back ASAP.

Well, that's great. Does anyone else sell Depo euro lights for the W126?

Clarification on ^^this^^
I don't want you to think that I know this or know of something, just making a comment / speculation on your situation and what could be causing it, and advising caution as I've seen this before.

Well, I asked for a refund on the 24th. I was told I'd get one promptly, and I waited, but got nothing.

This afternoon, at 5:35 I opened a dispute on my transaction. At 5:40 my dispute was closed with a full refund.

I'm actually pretty thankful that they didn't deliver.

I paid about $210 for a set of DEPO euro lights. After about 38 days, I went to www.ebay.de and found a set of bosch OE "euro" lights with the light range adjustment feature for $290 shipped (shipping was $75). MB part numbers matched exactly in startek.info with what I needed and they'll take 7-10 days to get here...

I'm sticking to OEM from now on (unless they don't make what I want).

Not at all - just use google translate; it translates text and whole URL's.

I translated the word "headlamp" into german and used "w126 Scheinwerfer" as my search. Once I found a page, I just entered the whole URL and it translated everything.

Granted, the seller did speak english, but there wasn't any on his page (though "head lamp" was in the title).

To buy it, I just clicked "watch this item" to put it into "my ebay" so all the buy-it-now/bidding buttons and payment process would be in english.

This was the first time I tried something like this and it worked like a champ, language-wise.
