    Yes, a couple pages back. Trouble is who knows which orders need to pay shipping? No communication at all.

    Like most on here, Im still waiting for mine to show up after paying over a year ago. Then it will probably be missing something and I'll never hear back from ktjo.

    This will definitely be my only purchase from her.

    If you didn’t already pay for shipping and need to, choose the Priority Mail option and pay the extra few cents. You will get it MUCH faster. Got to me in 2 days after post office receipt, and that was shipped to Hawaii! Who knows how long Parcel Select would have taken with the Postal Service backlog.

    She finally emailed me asking if my PayPal order number was on the original list to which I replied yes and sent her copies of the invoice. She said I should have received an email from her but I couldn't find it. Turns out it was in the email linked to the PayPal account used to pay. Regardless, there were additional emails stating I owed $15.79 for shipping which caught me by surprise since I thought at the time of ordering the grab handle it was free shipping. Funny thing is the email informed me it hadn't shipped yet but I received notification from USPS via informed delivery that it was out for delivery to my house, before I even found her email. All correspondence afterwards has yet to produce a reply. Just my two cents...

    The deal is that most of us have been going about our days for 4+ years without that handle. I bought it on a whim. Now that it has taken so long, I kind of dont want it.

    It should be delovered to me on Tuesday. I'll mock it up and if its not some earth shattering, spone tingling epiphony, i'll more than likely sell it.

    Another funny (not really) that I noticed. We're seeing KTJO posts that say she's shipping out 1,000 orders now and we know that 1,000 were molded. Yet, the ordering page says, In Stock. Hmmmm . . . :pccoffee:

    Haha you know how communication goes, I’m sure inventory is a well oiled machine. Now that mismatched kits are scattered around the country, I’m sure the number of complete kits are very well known.

    Also my handle is likely up for grabs, since I haven’t cracked her code on what she needs to release it.

    She would have really been screwed if Toyota started putting in Drivers side grab handles in the 2021. She would have had a ton of cancellations and stuck with inventory since I would have rather purchased an OEM part if it was available.

    Even with the fake part number labels.

    i guess since she ordered them from a “Original Equipment Manufacturer“ of Genuine Toyota parts, she thinks they are OEM. Not the OEM everyone else seems to refer Parts MADE BY Toyota that comes already equipped on Toyotas from the factory.

    I'm still waiting on my you owe shipping still even though i think it was supposed to be free when i preordered back in November 19. Has been too long to remember. Not just going to go and give her more money because she posts on facebook and doesn't send an email like she said she would if you still owed anything....
