I have ordered 4 sets of BMW grills from there. The 3 I received were great. I'm still waiting on a set right now. They all took less than 2 weeks to get to me, but this shipment has been 2 weeks and it says it's going to be another month. Fuck.

️that sucks

I've ordered consumer electronic items. Got to me in a matter of days. What are you looking to buy from there?

wheels. have you heard of anyone buying any?

I personally haven't heard of anyone ordering wheels from there.. i ordered a steering wheel cover from there that was decent quality (albeit it took 6 weeks to come in) and I used to order some jerseys from there. They were fake of course, but the quality was nearly identical to authentic but didn't cost $140... These would sometimes come in under a week or two, and sometimes it would be months honestly. Depends on how many orders the sellers doing and whether they are a quicker store.

Ya wheels might be really cost prohibitive due to shipping. I was looking into suspensions at one point and may still have some shipping quotes. Let me check in a bit.

There's honestly quite a few vendors that make wheels in China, quality direct from factory may be on par.

Well I got them in today, which wasn't too bad. However, these didn't fit. They are the correct ones, but the clips dont line up or stay clipped in. I started a dispute.

Now I'm on the hunt for some other ones that wont take 3 weeks to get here, as taking the grills out was a huge PITA.

Thanks, I'll check it out and look around. I've already been contacted by the seller and they are refunding me, so I'm happy with that anyways.
