Had a text yesterday that they required another $80 for shipping due to my remote location. Payable via Zelle which raised dome red flags. I ignored the first message and then I got a call 2 days later. They verified my name, account number for Alibaba, shipment ID, ship it was transported on, ed my order. All checked out so I paid the fee. I then checked with the company they were unaware of a fee but that was the logistic company. They are going to verify with shipping. The came back and said that they should have contacted them and not me but everything is okay. Waiting on a call from the shipping clerk to arrange final delivery.
I'm an attention whore so they'll be coming. I'm into full transparency. After closer inspection I found one panel with a bit more than a ding damage so its in the body shop. $75 to reshape. It would have been okay but its the drivers side and I'd be looking at it every time, I got in/out. I do expect to see some future trail damage so it's just me showing my OCD side. After talking with the shop owner I'm also getting it painted to match my rig; in hopes that the white will cut down the heat. I'm also looking at putting rhino roof tracks that are a bit more low profile than what were provided. All adds to the overall cost but not needed as it is fully functional as delivered.
