Anyone ordered from volousports.com

From my research, looks like a somewhat legit site. Obviously they are buying the Chinese caps, but the discounts aren’t so crazy like when you see a $3000 product discounted to $200. Looking at getting a cap for my 2025 Tacoma. Only have a few grand and haven’t been able to find one used locally. Anyone got any experience with this site?

I gave it a shot, worst case scenario I'll take it up with my CC Company...
So far, they sent the order receipt, asked for various dimensions.
I think if they were out to rip me off they wouldn't bother with follow-up emails.
I do think the posts here on Reddit are phishy advertising, they never respond with any answers, etc.
I'll followup if/when I receive it and what if it's worth it.

Any luck, I really want to pull the trigger on one but I need at least one internet stranger to confirm they received what they ordered. Haha

Nothing yet, I followed up last week and they said it's sitting in the cargo ship but was delayed because of a monsoon... I'm still holding out hope. 🤞🏻

Any luck?

Not here yet, but was given an ETA of mid September.

Let me know

I got a text and email notification today saying it landed in Port and after inspection they'll contact me to arrange freight delivery.

Thanks for the updates. I’m holding out hope for us both fingers crossed.

God dang, I just got the same runaround from wanderfox, I’ve been waiting 6 months for my shell, they keep saying it’s shipping next month, I dealt with my bank and got my money back.

Unfortunately, we experienced one where it was a scam and they had scammed others. They had replied to emails. If they say 6 to 8 weeks its definitely a scam, as they are shipped from overseas and no other cap company building there can get it in that time frame. We later bought through Nghtowl Off Road. Many of the other customers went there, as well. We have our cap and are happy with it. Linus spoke to us and walked us through for about an hour when we were deciding, as we were apprehensive of ordering again after our first experience. I highly recommend Nghtowl. Unfortunately, OVS didn't make a cap for the long bed Tundra when we ordered.

Who was the company/website that scammed you? You should out em, so other people know.
I'm not convinced it's a "scam" yet, definitely a Chinese product, which they don't advertise upfront.
We shall see.

I would need to look up the name. They actually shut down immediately when we posted on their site as others were asking if they received their orders. After several back and forth emails with concerning responses, it became clear. Later found out they had lifted images from other companies and used to create their site. Both web and Instagram. They were very responsive until the order was placed and paid for....then spotty with no answers. Was able to get my money back from the credit card company, and I know others were, as well. They aren't out there any longer, but this definitely reminds me of that. Could be legit, but I'd be cautious.
NoIdea4u@reddit
Yeah, I'm definitely cautious... if it doesn't show up by the end of the month I'll contact my CC company.
Icy-Initiative4400@reddit
Did you ever get tracking and shipping info?
NoIdea4u@reddit
They notified me today that it's in port and they'll contact me for freight delivery.
NoIdea4u@reddit
They told me the name of the cargo ship it's supposed to be on and that it's supposed to arrive in port 9/18. They said once it arrives and is inspected they'll arrange to have it delivered by freight.
Icy-Initiative4400@reddit
Keep me updated as well.

I’m about to buy for my 2025 Tacoma as well… let me know
NoIdea4u@reddit
I was just notified that mine has landed in port nd I'll be contacted for delivery. Once I get it, I'll let you know if it's worth it.

I placed an order two ish weeks ago. Reading this is making me sweat. They have been super prompt with communication about the cap. They texted me when they didn’t get an email back from me confirming the order. Then they wanted some super specific dimensions and even asked about one spot in particular they thought could present an issue. I just texted them to see if they can provide some assurance they’re not a scam… fingers crossed.

So I cancelled the order. I looked up the warehouse address on Google earth. It has some Chinese symbols on a door close by, but the doors are open with Amazon packages ready for pickup in the imagery, not big crates. I texted and politely asked them to offer some confidence in the company. They were very nice and sent me pictures of a bunch of deliveries that had been made, but never sent any pics of caps installed, just the packages in someone’s driveway. The pictures had addresses on them (some in Chinese) so I used ChatGPT to identify the locations, then I looked them all up on Google earth to see if I could find a vehicle with a cap installed. I couldn’t. After this, I looked at the address my card was charged to: Portland Oregon address to a building. I Google earthed it and saw the name of the building. I looked up the building and it is for lease (ie, nobody home). So I called my credit card company and opened a dispute, and cancelled the order via text with them. They sent me a confirmation of cancellation via email and text, and informed me they are legit, but understood my concerns. No issue, but haven’t gotten a refund- yet. I think they may be real, but someone with balls of steel on here needs to confirm. I’m going in a different direction for now but would love to help a growing business in the future if they are indeed- legit. All this to say- don’t count them out yet, but there are certainly a lot of red flags. I’m glad my credit card company has my back at the end of the day, and I hope they follow through with the cancellation and refund. I feel bad (if they are legit) for cancelling, but customer experience is the real selling point now and I think they have a lot to learn before they can plant their feet in this consumer base. I hope they’re real and I hope y’all get some sick caps, because they do look epic, and for the price, unbeatable.
