"Group buy opportunity" for reasonably priced Mud Flaps (Model 3)

I cannot seem to seat the rear metal clips flush with the flap. When I try, I feel one side of the opening flex or buckle to make way. This doesn't seem right. Any guidance from those who have already installed them?
Is that the look after you tightened down the lower bolt? Remember, the upper tape is only applied after the lower bolt and lower flap is secured. If you applied the tape before the lower bolt was tightened down you could get bowing, as I believe the instructions point out.
Mine is like that too but mud flaps are snug tight and I don't really care as it beneath the car and not visible..

Me too, last night. It indicates label created, but not yet actually shipped as of a moment ago. We’ll see...
Received mine today, they actually delivered a couple days ago but I had to zip across to the US to pick them up. Everything exactly as expected and I'm happy with them.

I have seen! Mine actually properly shipped, and will be here in Seattle on Wednesday. Ye of little faith.
It’s not fair to use historical data to answer that as there have been some delays that are likely no longer applicable. Jebinc received his in a few days. Some waited 4 weeks. Some are still waiting.
Now that demand has subsided and the clips are using the newer version, it’s probably closer to a few days.
Soo, wanted to install last night but came home to blocked driveway (construction) and rain. Guess I'll install when I can, thankfully there are superchargers near my office and near my house.
Glad to hear it. Hopefully now, after a long wait, we will see many reviews and pictures here from the more than 150 that participated in the group buy.
Received mine a few weeks ago and installed them a few days later. Install is straightforward but noticed driver side rear flap is not sticking anymore with the double sided tape. Tape is still stuck to the fender but unstuck from the flap. Should be an easy fix. Seems like the group buy is finally picking up steam. Guess he wasn't prepared for the "mass" orders. I'm still salty about the removal of free shipping after my order was placed though. If free shipping was included during the group buy setup, I think it's only fair to honor it to those who already placed orders in. At the price I paid, there was no difference compared to ordering through Amazon.

Confused about the shipping snafu. There's still free shipping. Why would it be removed from your order after you placed it?
