If they use Speed Pak for delivery it’s usually about 2 weeks.

I've never ordered from Aliexpress and hate ordering direct from China, but there are no other alternatives.
Gave this a try. Will see if I get it in a month or so. I only have a 50% success rate of China direct Amazon purchases but at least with Amazon, you don't have to worry about refunds. I've had good luck with the few I've ordered from Ebay. Hopefully Aliexpress is just as good.

I like the cheaper price, but not the company's name next to the "+" & "-".

Don’t be surprised if they all show up that way. Theirs usually have the name...no idea why mine don’t.

Well, the cheaper price may be due to lower end shipping method. Cheap shipping from China, even with tracking, has a way of getting lost IMHO.

If they do, I'll return them. It doesn't match the pictures posted on the website. Maybe that's why they cost more.

Look at the eBay pics again. They appear to be the same thing and same brand.

They are. There’s only 1 place making them. Mine were an early run...maybe to check fit? Maybe that’s why there’s no name. The others I ordered from them had the name. Just fill it with black paint and it’ll be invisible for the most part.

FWIW, aliexpress is great. I have never ordered car parts but I've ordered various switches and sensors for home automation. They're like an ebay so check listings carefully.

I’m not staring at that every time I get in the vehicle. I’ll be returning them.

Just spray them. After I confirm they fit, that is what I will be doing...

Then you'll need a steady hand to get the + & - back on there. Too much work for $48 pieces of plastic!

It’s engraved in. I used a razor blade and cleaned it out in a few minutes with the 2019 set I was experimenting with.

I am just going to spray them black. I don't even want to see the +/-. Why do you think you need that?

$51.93 was too high a price for plastic paddle shifters I'll have to do more work on to get it right. I've returned them.

I'll keep an eye out for ones without the company logo on it.
