My neighbor works for UPS and he said a damaged wheel would be on the seller. He also said complainers can go to FedEx which is bad business. sorry to hear. I would do the visa thing for an option. wish you well

So it looks like UPS has agreed to pay for the wheel....I think, however they want to get a hold of the shipper but they said they were not able to do so and now the shipper must contact them. I also tried calling FB today and their lines just rang and rang and rang in a closed loop...this is getting very frustrating very quickly. I think I will contact PayPal/Visa.

If wanting to go this route then link will connect you to a page with said gm. You can also find him on LinkedIn as well as the owner.

Meet the Staff at Fred Beans Nissan

I'd be inclined to also dispute through visa as mentioned just to cover you if they don't, or to help nudge them in the direction of making it right quickly.

Then call the actual dealership as if you were going to buy a car, if they decided to exit on line business then chances are they would not continue to pay for a toll free number to support that arm of the business, nor would they pay someone to man the phones to say they are out of that business.

Aw man, that's depressing. They had some of the best prices!

Hopefully everything gets sorted out!

Thanks for all the advice and support everyone. I'll keep you guys posted.

Well, after calling the Nissan dealer's parts department (separate from FB Nissan Parts apparently) they basically told me "Uhh, yeah I'm not sure what we can do, that division is closed down and no one works in that department anymore, They don't order their parts from us they get them direct from Nissan and is treated as a different company, but we'll have someone look into it and call you"....F it, I made a claim with PayPal for the one wheel, we'll see if I get my money back...hopefully they haven't emptied their PayPal account out by now.

Man. This is some bs. I hate to see you get hosed for this.

If that doesn't work then as I stated in earlier post go to LinkedIn mr Fred himself is on there and active. I've had decent amount of success going to straight to the top of mountain with voice of customer complaints at other companies when getting runaround

Yup, that's plan B. I'm hoping they don't respond to PayPal, then I'll be refunded automatically.

Hopefully you added the shipping cost too, not just the wheel price. Such a shitty deal

I know that you do not want to dish out anymore cash, but consider getting the wheel refinished. I have heard that it is about $100-$125 for one wheel. Hopefully everything will work out for you.

man! this is trusting just to read this crap. I would go directly to the owner and also Visa.

I don't even have the wheel anymore! :( UPS has it and sent it back to FB Nissan. The problem with that is, A) The colour would be off so I would need to repaint all four or so wheel repair shops have told me. And B) where I live it's like $300 for a repair like this.

No don't repair it even if you had it. You paid for it to be new. You're gonna get your money back.
