seriously this is getting out of hand...Joe has some damaged parts (fact)...GTM is aware of the situation and sending replacement parts (fact)...theres really no use is debating wether the parts got damaged in transit or not at this point because GTM has already agreed to send new parts...i really dont see any reason to slander GTM as they are doing what all good vendors do to resolve the problem and keep the customer happy..

I dont normally defend GTM, but to be completely fair it's not something they would normally do. I've followed their threads and their involvement in this community enough to know they have absolutely nothing to gain from this. So I don't think GTM did it purposely. HOWEVER, some of you guys are out of control....completely out of control with the GTM fainboyism. How do you go from a customer getting a destroyed kit to somehow GTM being totally awesome for taking care of him. I don't know if you guys realize how incredibly stupid that makes you look. Nothing personal with any of you, but that's simply ridiculous. Don't try to take the blame off, even if it somehow was during shipping, It's still GTM's responsibility to make the claim and get his customer the pieces.

Also, just my two cents, that is not shipping damage...you can see areas that have been sanded down to weld flanges and supports. Scratches go all the way to the weld...no way shipping would have done that. Maybe they are pieces used for prototype fitment testing or something. Maybe GTM was tight on time to meet some shipping deadlines and figured they could pass these as shipping damage and then send the customer a real kit once he complained...

We can all keep making theories, but in the end I think I'd still buy GTM stuff and I think most people here agree this is an isolated incident rather than the norm. Just please people stop saying GTM is awesome when stuff like this happens, its sickening.

If I were Joe I wouldn't even want the kit anymore. Even if you have minor problems with the kit.....you probably won't even be able to call GTM to ask for help.

My new theory is that GTM shipped the wrong shipment by honest mistake and those parts were supposed to be bound for somewhere else. I HAVE ZERO PROOF OF THIS BUT WILL STICK BY THIS THEORY UNTIL I DIE!!!!!!

everyone else's posts are just turning this thread into garbage, in which case it will get locked. and then nothing will be learned from the situation except that everything possibly useful gets turned into trash.

I think Joe should fight his own battles and post his own war stories. What's with all these surrogate story tellers?
