I've only been charged, nothing shipped (which is unusual). If all else fails, I could just call my credit card company for a refund.

Well, let's hope it doesn't come to that as more than 100 of us placed an order with them. Based on my interactions with Mike, during the group buy process, I think everything will turn out well, albeit, late.

Has anyone received their group buy flaps recently, or heard anything from the group buy vendor - Tsolutions? I would have expected to see more reviews and pictures by now, or replies from the vendor that members received re the status of their order. Happy motoring in the mean time! :)

Here is the email from Mike and according to him, the rear mud flaps are designed to be level if installed correctly:

"The flaps were designed to be level when installed correctly. There
is some leadway in bracket slot to make small adjustments. Are you
sure your driveway is level? 1/2 a bubble could be several things."

I told him, "Yes, my garage floor is level". He didn't elaborate what the several things for the 1/2 bubble were.

I agree with him...

Unfortunately after asking for refunds via both email addresses above the item shipped today. So now Im screwed out of paying to ship the item back and chancing that I will ever actually receive a refund. Im going to dispute the transaction with paypal.

Yeah, not an impressive transaction. After emailing 2 days ago for status, I just got an order shipped. I mean, great, but not even replying is... not ideal.

No, it certainly is not. We may never know the root cause, but it could be some sort of family emergency or something - or just crappy support like Tesla CS....

I had to pay $8.00 to ship the flaps back to him via USPS Priority 2 day mail (padded envelope). I went to a USPS outlet in a grocery store and their only Tracking Number option was Priority mail. I know at the actual USPS office they have cheaper tracking options.

I finally received a notification from the USPS that a label was created. So assuming it gets dropped in the mail soon, I would anticipate receiving it mid next week but I'll be out of town for a week. I have both these and the molded ones so I'll do a comparison review when I get a chance.

Emailed - no response. But like PnP above, received a shipping label notification. If I had known he was here in MD - I would have offered to just drop by and pick them up.
