No longer for sale but still listed on the website.
Apparently, the cargo shipment isn't being released and Valerie is issuing refunds. There was a suggestion that another supplier could produce a similar product. The wait continues.

I think it's 100% bullshit. I think they USED to stock them and decided to lead us along the entire time for the cashflow, knowing that they would never get them again.

But I got a refund from them, so how would the cashflow work?

Some businesses do this as a way to buy time and have extra money from month to month - think of it functioning like a 0% interest loan. Some customers may not get refunds, too, depending on the method of payment and if they can be contacted at all. This company has been accepting orders since late 2014-early 2015 and has had 0 proof to show that a fresh supply exists in the first place.

Yep. There have been a couple sponsors on this forum and others that have done this over the years. It's never pretty when it hits the fan and some people are left hanging. Hopefully this is not the case, but it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

It does all seem very sketchy. I was lucky enough to get the light but up until I did, I was a little leery until it showed up at the door.

ZexGX, covered one aspect, but you can also look at mail-in-rebates: other than the high percentage that don't mail it in, the money is sitting in investment for a few months then they give you your rebate and pocket the interest earned.

What a shame. Do I need to contact for refund - or is it automatic?

Yeah you have to contact them. Honestly though, give her a call and it will be processed that day and just say you want a receipt to your email.

Contacted - working the refund out now.

Kind of sad - I'd rather have the brake light instead of my money back.

Update!

I guess they finally got through the backlog of the cargo containers.

I just got a call from them stating I'm still on the list and if I still want the smoked 3rd brake light. Or course I said F-ing A, so hopefully this isn't a bad joke after all. Said it should arrive by the end of the week.

First question I asked "When will it be shipped" haha.

Curious to see if they actually have the right one when you get it and if it's working right and in one piece. I wanted to order but I stayed on the back burner. If yours comes out good I'll go ahead and do it.
