Thanks. Had issues with the first post uploading from the phone.

Pretty convinced that both the spoiler and diffuser are a lost cause at the moment. One (or possibly even both) were said to be set for redelivery today according to USPS tracking but since it's past their typical delivery time for this area already I'm betting that they are instead on their way back to China.

For pkgs the local office seems to almost always have them delivered by 10/11am. During the holidays I've seen later times but that is out of the norm. Worst part is, if they are one track for a later delivery time for some reason today I likely won't be home for it as I have to pick up the kids.

Packages appear to be officially lost. They say they were supposed to be redelivered and yet also that they were being sent back to the shipper. They don't know their ass from their elbow as to what the status of them are.

Yep. No clue what recourse I have to even get new ones shipped to me either.

Reimbursement from the postal service looks to be a massive pain in the ass and the list is long with regards to all the details they want in order to even file a claim.

Just claim through eBay/AliExpress?

If it's any consolation neither my spoiler or diffuser have even left China yet!

Yikes, yours are still a mess too.

The eBay seller did say that if I don't get anything in a week they would send another or send me a refund. I haven't contacted the spoiler seller on AliExpress yet as that one just says delivery attempt made with no other status updates yet.

And I thought I was the one that would receive my package last since factors like holidays & factory delays. I guess the seller did expedite shipping like they said they would.

Hoping you guys get it all sorted out!

I just had mine put on. Full disclosure, after fricfracfrank said it was a little tough to get everything seated properly I brought it to a shop by my house and had them put it on. The fit is actually pretty good without any noticeable gaps. It isnt OEM but looks really good.
