Name-dropping is verboten in this case but IYKYK. Just remember that trust needs to be earned and not freely given.

I purchased a popular replacement brand of headlamp assemblies for my y2K WJ from a popular on-line parts provider only to receive competitor's products selling for half as much in relabeled packaging. While waiting, I extracted the old headlamp assemblies and suffered some (but not irreparable) plastic retaining-clip damage(s), which has me in a holding pattern until I can insert new parts (minimizing further risk to those same bits of unobtainium). I have since returned the h/l assemblies for refund only to repurchase the competitor's products at 50% of the prior price. Too bad I can't get back the days that I and my DD have had to wait and wait again for new lamps. The message here is to do your research before buying and/or be prepared to push-back when you spend your hard-earned bucks and are not completely satisfied when you inspect your newly received purchases.

Additionally, a popular on-line Jeep content creator has let me down recently in-that I purchased their merchandise in late August and the batch-run (of garments) was promised for this month but, when queried on or near the 1st regarding order status, crickets...

Anybody else out there reaching the point of "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore"? Go ahead and vent!
