    Well won't you be happy to find out she's holding yours (and others)to supply people (like me probably as mine was an early ship and has yet to arrive - 2 weeks in USPS purgatory) to supply those who have mis-matched covers. :eek:

    You hit the nail right on the head. She has awesome products that you cant get anywhere else and I have a bunch of them. The problem is when she did receive the product, executing the fulfillment went to shit. If she followed FIFO (First In, First Out) like a normal pre-order, then there wouldn’t have been such a negative response to the seller. I would consider buying from her again, if I REALLY wanted something, but I will NEVER pre-order again to fund the product.

    nah just a smart ass. And have been burned enough times by vendors unfortunately. Sierra expeditions was one this year. Promised me over the phone that my order was coming until the day they closed forever.

    This 100%, very well said. They have come out with some neat products but next time they have a product idea and ask for preorders to help fund it, who the hell is going to be dumb enough to sign up? They already burnt the bridge here at TW. Once with the mods, now with the community. And any new members that inquire about KTJO will probably first be routed to these threads, turning off potential customers. Hell, whenever someone mentions tacomabeast the post right after is a screenshot of their rock carving fiasco. That's a large fraction of preorders that they have lost, maybe sales even.

    As evidenced by the people admitting they’ve had an issue with her before and bought this anyway, as well as the type of crew who buys into “tacomabeast” (sounds like Tapout culture to begin with) and the type of goons who only live in the facebook group environment or Instagram universe, you’re damn right. She’s not going anywhere.

    You could peddle hand-crafted dung beetle turds and make sales on those outlets. Then the brand loyalists come in and play cancel culture if you talk bad about the company, even in the face of a totally shit product or service, just like the shill you quoted.

    The only thing you forgot is that the new customers still get to pay the pre-order price (well minus those who were eligible for the rebate and got it a bit cheaper).

    she needs to upgrade her website purchasing software to alleviate all of the problems. It should keep all the sales, order status, payment status, shipping status, yada yada yada. It will be more overhead for the company but come on, it be less headaches/heartaches for everyone involved for our and her sanity

    Is anyone here blaming the “Chinese Covid-19” (?!) for what we are seeing here regarding shipping and handling and communication? I don’t see that happening. Also, where did your previous rageyousity go? Embrace it anew.

    Make a whole new set of covers. In carbon fiber. With this inscribed:

    @whatstcp

    "Hey I just heard that there's a new Tacoma, can I buy one right now? Here's the money" and the dealership hands them the keys and sends them on their way.

    :rolleyes: "No skin off my back" comes to mind... (no concern to me, not my business, doesn't hurt me at all). :notsure:

    BTW, as far as, "KTJO won't fail unfortunately", apparently, it takes 12 positive reviews to cancel out the nasty side effects of just one negative review. :evil:

    I blinked.

    Cancelled and asked for a refund. She said she was on her way to the post office with my order so she’s glad I got to her in time. No objection or “sorry” etc... Ok. This whole shipping thing was too much anyways.
