Here was the response I got back from them this morning....

So, we shall see.

They created a FedEx label for me. Did they create one for you guys as well?

FedEx simply hasn't had the package yet, but has a delivery date of July 8th, which is clearly not going to happen since it's the 9th.

Yes, they did that both times I've ordered. I got a FedEx notice within hours.

It's still showing "IN STOCK" on their website.

Pretty rediculous. That would put these parts out of stock for 150+ days if they hit Recon's shelves on August 17th (2nd week in August). How does a company advertise and RUN SALES and lie about stock on their website with NO stock? How is that reputible when paying almost $900 for a vanity truck part? Wild.

that's pretty funny because i got the same thing last month:

The 264338ledbk is currently on back order until the second week of June, that is why the order has not shipped. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

They are blowing smoke, for sure. My original order was May 12th (after I saw this thread and review from @HorsePowerObsessed , I went over to the Recon site and bought a set). So that "mid-June" prediction was/is complete bullshit.

I just got the same email response you guys did.

This is one of the reasons I do business with the Real Truck website. I don't have to deal with this kind of stuff. I bought mine here: https://imp.i128439.net/n42OA9

Yeah they are great! I didn't think to go there I just went straight to the Recon site.

I've bought almost all my stuff from them. Just easier to deal with than the manufacturer site most of the time which is kinda ridiculous when you think about it.

yeah, they're great as well.
But the difference was over a hundred bucks with a special code that Recon had specifically.

That makes sense.

Here's the latest from Recon as of this morning (the 2nd week of August, as they previously stated was when they would be shipping):

Clay @ Recon: Yes sir, the taillights are still on a back order. The last update have is that they will be back in stock in 2-3 weeks. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience, I will personally email you once the lights are back in stock.

This is such bullshit. They have had my money for 78 days......

Pretty shady of them.

 

[Cherik512]

At this point i completely forgot about these damn lights. When they finally arrive it will be like a free Christmas gift. What's the over-under on them arriving before Christmas though?

 

[XSTNKT]

Pretty shady of them.

Interesting, RealTruck website no longer lists ANY Recon products. I wonder if they are going under......

 

[XSTNKT]

They just keep digging in that hole. Deeper and deeper. Now I'm really worried. Jeez.....

Yikes. I proceeded to tell ol' Clay here about the HPO video review and that there is a shot right in there of the Realtruck site listing these from a few months ago. Good thing I'm bored at work today.

 

[XSTNKT]

Day 92...... is it the end? Could it be???

 

[Mmack911]

Mine arrived!!

 

[Cherik512]

I installed them as soon as they arrived. They look great. They’re darker in person
