Thanks. That's a hefty charge for delivery but oh well. Part of the cost I guess

Looking at photo, I am hoping the design and function would be: L-shape portion would be tail/parking lights (possible dual intensity for break as well), the top vertical (inner part) would be break lights, and the long white strip would be turn signals (amber). The upper half of the pic may indicates previous style with turn signals on vertical part. I guess will know for sure when arrives.

I have noticed that top picture is not same as picture below. If I have to guess, it will be the one below for sure. I just hope it is fit and snug like OEM. That would be a nice alternative of OEM for sure

For FedEx international, it is actually not too bad. I have done many international shippings (for residential), that is about in line with what normally you would expecting.

I understand that it is fair price for international shipping but I am just saying it is adding to the cost of the parts. I mean shipping is 50% of the cost of the item which adds up

I believe there is only one option. Most likely the one in the bottom half of the picture. To top one either it might be the prototype or a photoshop done originally. Just wild guess

More of a general question. I look forward to your experience with this.
Thanks

The website indicated delivery between 4 to 10 days and orders are processed within 48 hours. I would expecting to have some update by Monday or latest Tuesday. Hopefully be able to receive by the end of next week (if believe everything as advertised). Will definitely keep everyone posted.

Just a quick update on the order, it has been shipped today via EMS. I would expect it to be arrived in a week or so.

So far, the vendor has been very responsive on email communication. Replied my email inquiries timely and properly. One thing that I have discovered on order was the shipping policy. The vendor is trying maximized profit using “volume” costs with carriers, especially with FedEx and DHL, which resulted fairly high cost if you wanted to ship via FedEx since the minimum volume is 22Kg and for this package is only 8Kg. After few emails exchange, I have agreed to use EMS to keep the shipping cost under control. EMS is not my preferred carrier for international package, often result slight delay during clearance process. For those of you planing to do the same, just keep it in mind.

Now just wait to see how well the product is.......

Does this mean they tried to increase cost of shipping on you? or do you mean if they used Fedex or DHL, it would have costed less to ship?
