    Yeah I'm still bummed out a bit. That shipping cost left a bad taste in my mouth. If it was mentioned at the beginning, no biggie, but when I got that invoice I initially thought "well they obviously messed that up" but no they kinda just snuck in the the double shipping charge, that's not how you do group buys, or running a business for that matter

    My shipping was nearly $300 to Texas on the 165. I even asked about getting shipped to a business and was told it wouldn't make any difference :/ Now in hindsight, I don't think it would have mattered... My office doesn't have a loading dock. But again, would have been nice if that had been communicated. My wife works in a warehouse, easily could have had it shipped there had I known.

    I didn't even know the group buy was available here. I found it on Instagram. I didn't even see this thread until mid Nov. Looks like the OP only registered on TW just to post the buy. I don't see any other history for him. He's affiliated with Overlanding USA

    I don't think he's a brand manager. Just some bloke that has a YouTube channel -- at least according to his IG page

    I mean, I can't really fault him. He put together a decent deal. Just poorly communicated and misleading

    If the hole is on the flat larger portion of the box, there should be no damage as there's a protective board on each side. But if it's any of the short, narrow sides, it could definitely cause damage.

    I had two holes in mine but they were both in the areas with the protective board so that was lucky!

    Unfortunately the tent will be in the corner of my office until I get a trailer to mount it on, haha. Most people buy the trailer first then the tent but I am a little different. I did un-pack it yesterday just to make sure everything was good.
