Best Skins Ever?

I just ordered a 2018-2019 MBA matte full-coverage skin for my incoming M1 last Tuesday (they're about the same size). I got a shipping notification this morning.
Update: I received it on Saturday - 4 days from ordering to delivery. Just waiting for the M1 MBA now...

I realise I never updated here about my skin. Posted earlier in this thread that I had gotten a Bodyguardz skin and installed it on my M1 MBA and rather liked it though didn't like it as much as the matte Best Skins Ever skins I had before.
Well, at some point a while back I decided to bring my M1 MBA (past the 14 day purchase mark) to the Genius Bar as it was wobbly on one side. They very nicely decided to just swap out the whole MBA for me for a new one (wasn't expecting this as it was past the 14 day mark). So I now had to get another skin...
Decided to just buy the matte Best Skins Ever skin this time around, despite my misgivings about their contactability/etc. They actually shipped it out pretty quickly, however... I shipped it internationally using USPS... which took something like 2 weeks to get it from Colorado to Chicago (nearly thought it had been lost in the mail as there was no tracking scan update for those 2 weeks), and then another few days of chilling in Chicago, before it made its way from Chicago to where I am. In total it took a month from shipping to me getting the skin.
Anyway, installed the matte Best Skins Ever (which is for the 2018 and later MBA), and it fits really well on my M1 MBA. Can honestly say that I do like this skin better than the Bodyguardz skin as the matte surface makes it less apparent that there is a skin on the Mac. The matte trackpad protector also works really well. Installation wise they are both very similar, though I do like using the soap/water method with the Best Skins Ever as it means I wasn't worrying about running out of the install gel that was supplied with the Bodyguardz skin.
Hoping that Best Skins Ever revives because well I really do like their skins...
