Default Fake Tein dealer

I have a Lexus IS250RWD and i have recently bought 19inch wheels to install.I had also ordered Tein cs suspension since May and i wanted to put everything on together.The dealer called me yesterday and told me that there was a mistake from Japan and the suspension never get in the container to UK.(The suspension comes to Greece through UK).He told me that i should wait for 2 more months or pay 450$ to send the suspension by plain in 2 weeks to UK and 1 more week to send it to Greece.Why should i pay for this mistake?I send a mail to Tein yesterday and i m waiting for the reply. I dont thing that something will come out though.I m thinking of giving the extra money because i cant wait any more.What do you think?

There is one more dealer in Greece but he asks the same money for the suspension as i will give now with this extra and he want put it in the car so i will need more money to finally put the suspension on.I could order the suspension from USA but there want be any guaranty if something will be wrong with it so i don't think i have many options since there s nothing for this car here as it is in USA.Imagine that i manage to get the front GFX kit from USA and it came here after 6months and 400$.It sucks to give so much money for transportation.I could do so many other mods .It sucks!.

Thank you all very much for the replies.The truth is that i m waiting for my first baby to come in a few days.That s the reason i m so angry with the dealer because i made my order since May cause i wanted to install the suspension and the 19is after the baby is born.I have the 19is now with the tires in my garage waiting and i don t want to wait 3 more months for the suspension.That s the reason i m gonna pay this extra money to send the suspension by plain.I hope you all understand.I hope i lived in USA where you have so many options.Unfortunately i don t.Thank you PHRESS2010 for your offer but i wanted to have a sort of warranty for the suspension and i want if i buy it from anywhere else but a local dealer.I m sure i could buy this suspension for much less,The only think i m praying now(except my baby's born)is that the suspension turns out to be good and comfort as i want!
