Thanks UPS

That fragile sticker is like a challenge to the shipping guys (UPS, FedEx, etc.)

I'm glad to say that Fly1 (Lohit) took care of me with an instant over night air replacement, which is due to arrive tomorrow.

Both me and him did some yelling in the direction of UPS and he should be reimbursed for the lost product and extra expenses of getting it to me overnight.

All in all, hopefully there will be a happy ending.

Shippers fault not UPS.

Some of these workers for UPS truly hate their life and their job so they take it out on the people's merchandise. Good luck with any resolution though.

Now that I look at it, it does appear that someone deliberately bent the package. I can't see how it can bend that way in a truck.

Oh, and it's already been resolved. Fly1 sent him another one

i don't get the people blaming the guy who shipped the product... he paid for a service and packaged it properly with a note saying fragile handle with care. Once you pay for the service and it is out of your hands you aren't responsible for it. If someone is going to throw your box around it doesn't matter how you have it packed. There were videos of ups/fedex/usps workers throwing boxes, so i guess those people didn't package something correctly too if it got broken. You're paying for a service, you need to get the service you paid for. i'm sure he didn't check a box that says "please throw/bend this package.

When i ordered my exhaust and intake from stillen, once it arrived i had to sign that the boxes weren't damaged.

I bought a set of custom made wheels and ups sent me three wheels and sent one to lower ninth ward in New Orleans ... Ups blows!

I agree. I'm on your side......................

enkei2k · 08-22-2014, 03:32 PM

has the package actually been opened yet?

What if, there was actually nothing inside?

Here is why I blame the shipper.
Would any of you ship a sheet of glass half way across the country wrapped in cardboard with a fragile sticker on it and expect it to make it undamaged?
Would any of you ship a wine glass wrapped in paper with a sticker on it and expect it to make it?
If it is fragile and you know it, you pack it like it is fragile, so they can't break it.
If it will bend and you know it, you pack it so it can't be bent.

It is thin sheet metal not plate steel it is gonna bend. Hell I could bend the corner by dropping it from 2 feet high. I could bend it by dropping a 20lb box on it in the middle. It could have got caught on a conveyor.

Because of the fact that workers throw boxes around, you as a shipper should never trust them to care for your product.

Shippers fault I stand by it.
