Shipment may be delayed, as was in my case - but well worth the wait.
Two useful advices I could give - don't remove the original plastic covering from its surface. Tack it in & tape it, and it will server for a few trips as paint protection.

Very easy to install, all items needed for installation are included. Just need help loading it on top of vehicle, but after that it only takes 5-10 minutes to secure it properly by myself.
Fits three of our large suitcases with no problem. It’s great that you can open it from both sides. Have used it on two trips already (a 2,000 mile round trip and a 600 mile round trip). Was able to go 75 mph on very windy highways - was so impressed how quiet it is, almost forgot I had it on my vehicle. We went through several dust storms during these trips and noticed the cargo box only had light scratches - can’t really see them unless you are right in front of it. Overall, gas consumption went down only 1 mpg.
Highly recommended, I wish I would have purchased it earlier. FYI - I read reviews about the cargo box being damaged during shipment, the cardboard box was damaged, but I carefully inspected the cargo box and it has no damaged.
Lastly, register it as soon as you receive it for warranty purposes. The serial number is in stickers inside of the cargo box.

Just finished a 3000 miles road trip, the cargo box was very stable in highway speed, and didn't impact driving at all, however it did impact mileage by 1-2 mpg as expected. The box provided alot of cargo space, protected very well under heavy rain when parked and driving. You need to be gentle when opening and closing the top cover as the plastic material is flexible that if force applied, it could bent and potentially break.
-----------------------------------------------
Arrived today and installed immediately, the thule box looks great and the installation was a breeze, very well designed. I inspected the box before putting it up, but I guess I missed a small crack in the top cover edge left to the lock area, and while installing the box, opening and closing the cover further damaged it. This is what I was afraid of, without this issue, this would’ve been a great purchase. I don’t think the crack was from the delivery, but rather the plastic edge of the cover had a sharp crack came from the manufacture. Called Thule warranty, they stated if it's within 30 days within the purchase, Amazon would handle the issue, then called Amazon customer service and worked out another new one for replacement. Overall experience with the purchase was great, just hope the replacement comes clean and don’t have to deal with the issue again.
