I bought a set of stock style/pattern rubber floor mats from Wolfsburg West several years ago - IIRC, sometime around 2017 or 2018 time frame. Anyway, their quality and fit was good, and so far they have held up fine for me.
Here’s some pics I took while fabbing overlying carpet pieces out of door mats — you can see at least some of the WW rubber mats underneath and on the tunnel. Note that there’s original thickness tarboard (and/or tarboard replacement material) on the floors and tunnels underneath — you need to have that there for a proper fit of the rubber floor mats.

I also bought a set years at least 2 decades ago, from supplier I cannot recall (likely WW, JBugs, or CB), and they've been fine. I remember that back then the supply was inconsistent, so I waited for these to get back into stock. At least then, mine were made in Mexico or Brazil if I remember correctly.

My experiences with JBugs' and Cip1's merchandise and return policies have often been “subpar” (to say the least), so I rarely ever deal with them anymore.
Wolfsburg West has proved to be a better bet for me in most instances. And on the few occasions where they did send me a poor quality or defective part, they've always quickly refunded my money.
Just stating my own personal experiences with those vendors -- YMMV...
