Hollister_Hitman Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 The guy I talked to at elka said he needs my social security number when I order the shocks from them so that customs can tax me since they are coming from canada to california. Does this sound right? Quote
DUNEDEMON Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 FUCK NO! I don't give my SSN to anyone. What's up with Elka? They can't build shocks to peoples specs right the first time so they are resorting to identity theft. Quote

Hollister_Hitman Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Posted May 17, 2006 (edited) 2 different people I talked to on the phone from elka said that and I am still waiting on an email response but on the customs website it looks like elka is right Edited May 17, 2006 by Hollister_Hitman Quote
txblueshee Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 If that's true it's some law that's just been passed.... do yourself a favor and buy the shocks from baldwin or JB racing... east coast atv or even legacy atv... They'll be setup when you get them... www.j-hracing.com (918) 371-0101 That's johnny hale's race shop.. he reps elka... Mike Quote
Hollister_Hitman Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Posted May 17, 2006 Well it seems like the customs website says the same thing but I will take a look at those links you gave me thanks Quote
PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 I never gave them my SSN when I ordered mine. As said above the law may have changed. Quote
Hollister_Hitman Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Posted May 17, 2006 (edited) When did you order? Where to? How much did you spend? They said if it is over $2000 a ssn is needed Edited May 17, 2006 by Hollister_Hitman Quote

They said if it is over $2000 a ssn is needed 517161[/snapback] Mine was under $2000, cause I only ordered the fronts. Tell them to make seperate orders out of yours. Fronts one order and rears another. I think I must have gotten mine in '04. Quote

Hollister_Hitman Posted May 23, 2006 Author Report Posted May 23, 2006 (edited) Well I ordered the elkas and already got them but they are for my girlfriends blaster. She really needs them because she can outride those crap stock shocks. We will test them out tomorrow Edited May 23, 2006 by Hollister_Hitman Quote
yfzut Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 i ordered shocks from elka less than a month ago, and i got them and never gave my ssn and they never asked. Quote
Hollister_Hitman Posted May 23, 2006 Author Report Posted May 23, 2006 Well where do you live. I looked on the customs website and it turned out correct. It also depends on how much your order cost Quote
