Huh..why do you think that one dude that does actual work makes decisions? I respect that one dude. Your reasoning is little flawed. At least my order was settled via PayPal and the temporary hold has expired. So, I need to check with them and update the payment method, or not sure if it will ever ship. If I remember correctly, Decatur was only expecting PayPal for high dollar value orders. In any case , I am yet to email or call them for first time.

That's what happens when something goes viral.
This seemed to be a promotion organized by Toyota corporate so the franchise dealers with their parts departments probably had no choice but to deal with it. As I posted earlier some of the business decisions, like having a heavy brake caliper shipped 2-day air from a warehouse to the dealer, to then be shipped to me.. in the context of month-long order waits, are absolutely money-losers. But that's what happens. Toyota wanted to do a sale..
While it isn't Amazon, the internet parts department of the place I use in town is nothing like the retail parts counter up front. Professional-level packing, decent inventory, don't have to wait on hold an hour if you call them and need something.
Not comparing them to Serra, just saying, some of these operations have taken what they do seriously and are helping put the nails in the coffin of the retail parts counter.
Just got my tracking numbers from Decatur. Order placed on 3/17.
Also ordered from Decatur in my rush to get a deal. Got my order a few days ago, but had to email them. Once I emailed he responded the next day saying it would ship out that night. Received my order a few days later. Those guys must’ve wondered wtf was going on haha.
Got my parts from Village today 4 Rotors no packaging around em, they look OK though. I however did not receive my fluid level sensor from them which is part of the same order. They said they are looking into it.
Still waiting for my rad and other associated parts from Decatur. They keep saying next week but I understand.

I had 3 orders from Decatur (none have arrived yet). Paid for all 3 via Paypal. The last two orders hit my credit card about a week after ordering, but the first order (and by far the biggest) still has not hit my card yet. Curious what it means on their end when they send the charge to the card - does it mean they've told Paypal that they've shipped? Because it's been exactly one month today since those two charges hit my credit card...
For the past few years I have had this issue with paypal and Toyota dealers, some hit my card instantly while others do not charge until they ship. I read up on some forums saying its the software the dealers use and how it communicates with Paypal. Other companies tend to not charge me until the orders are shipped.
My guess is Toyota loves to charge restocking fees if you cancel the order (EVEN if parts are backordered)
I ordered march 18th from Toyota of Decatur and have not received anything yet 
Ordered from Decatur on 3/17, fourteen pieces, arrived yesterday.
I did email to ask about the status a couple weeks ago, so maybe the squeaky wheel got the grease.

Found my washer fluid level sensor, it was hiding in the box. But for some timeframe
I place my order with Village Toyota on 4/11 and my 5 parts arrive today 4/28
For Decatur I ordered a plethora of parts on 3/16 and it still has not shipped. I also placed another order for AHC fluid and no update. I get they are swamped and I have pinged them and it sounds like they are slowly catching up

Double check everything is in the box. Two of my Decatur orders have been missing parts, one missing so many that I assumed they would be in a separate shipment. When contacted they seemed surprised that order wasn’t complete, but have been sorting it out without complaint.
I sent my first email to follow up on my order and they told me that if the caliper rebuild kit arrives this week, my order will ship. So I guess they're waiting for the caliper rebuild kit which is understandable with all the shortages.

Still waiting on mine, ordered 3/20/22
I’d like to do my rad and WP service before it gets hot in SoCal, so I’m glad parts are arriving. It’s the only thing keeping me from taking the truck on trails
Out of all the parts I ordered from Decatur (none have shipped), the radiator worries me the most regarding poor packaging leading to shipping damage. It will probably be the first thing I install once I receive everything, just to verify that it's in good shape.
Eric mentioned he hasn’t shipped mine out till today because he was waiting on certain padding to protect the rad
