1.I will arrange a resend for you as soon as possible,
When you receive the package (reissued package).
If there is still a parcel arriving (EA412157324CN), please refuse to sign.

Ordered on December 28th. Received January 7th. Installed yesterday. The guy from cartrimhome was really great about emailing me with updates. Pretty happy with the whole experience.

That looks really good. Were you able to get any special pricing?

 

[drthrnnr]

It was $150 us including shipping with their group buy option.

Ordered Jan 2 and just got the notification from USPS that it will arrive tomorrow (1/15) by 8pm. Now....who to do the install.....I don’t trust myself = lack of confidence?

Please don't pay anyone. Just look at it when you get it.

I'm sure you can do it.

Ordered from CarTrim (part TYRN14190030) on the 6th of Jan. Received order tracking on the 8th. Just arrived today.

Im in ohio so not sure when i am going to put on with the cold. Quality looks great and this one has the indents to align the letters. O's are dimpled specifically so can't put in wrong place.

Vendor updated tracking and was very responsive when first tracking didn't work.

I jumped on this bandwagon as well. Used an ebay coupon plus the vendor gave me $10 off. Ended up getting mine for $110. It’s pretty good quality for the price.

Looks like my original one got lost in mail and they re-sent another one on 1/5/19 without me even asking.

Taking long time but can't grumble about the customer service.

I just got a full refund...from cartrimhomepy China.

What a nightmare!

Cartrimhome to Columbus, OH.

Ok man....I’ll give it a whirl.

Ordered Dec 15th 2018 from the GB option (Cartrimhome). Still waiting... I think I'm just going to request a refund via PayPal. I've been emailing him multiple times and got the usual response "US Customs is backed up". He did update me with a new tracking number stating he sent out a replacement but the tracking he provided shows no shipping info and/or "Label not yet in system"

That’s what I did...full refund, and if the grill shows up anyway I’m keeping it...30+ days is ridiculous

I ordered the letters over a month ago from cartrimhome. Nothing. Tracking number doesn't work.

I was told that it would arrive this week. Pretty pathetic.

Stay away from ProooAuto, they said item would have 2 day processing time before it ships. Just got notification last night that it was finally picked up in china, over a week after I ordered it.

China post tracking numbers are hit and miss. You pretty much have to find the site they used to ship it. If your lucky it will show on USPS as it hits the US. This is why most eBay sellers just refund after a couple months, they can’t prove it shipped.

How are you guys getting ebay coupons?

ProoAuto

I got mine from ProoAuto, took about 5-8 days, not bad from China. The tracking numbers are garbage tho once it gets picked up by the China State postal service.

It took me about 3 times to get it one right, had to go buy some more 3m molding tape but once i got it on it looks pretty good, does have small gap on ends but doesn't really bother me. it was 130 shipped.
