I sent him $470 for mufflers to be shipped to my house...this is what I received.

( Click to show/hide )

Absolutely no packaging internal to the box, which caused the mufflers to puncture the box, scraping the tips and bending the exhaust hangers.

While I was able to bend the hangers back in place, this level of packaging is not acceptable, and the damage devalues the product significantly.

Easy tiger!!

No need to go there so lets start putting away the pitchforks

Obviously a mistake here on the sellers Father or whom ever packed it.

I would expect an acknowledgment from the seller after seeing the pics that there was a definite problem

And to at least apologize for the condition and maybe talk the Dad about at least knocking something off the price since they are not in the condition before being shipped.

Very sad to see and hope it gets resolved

I live in Las Vegas, and am currently in AFG, father lives in Chicago. I was doing him a favor by throwing it up on the forum. I was not the seller, but a mediator. I asked and followed up regarding the install to ensure everything still lines up. It's a hanger of all things. If you weren't happy with it, returning money isn't an issue. I have stacks of that, my father doesn't. If this is because we have disagreements on topics within this forum, this is a low blow. Id rather you pm me for resolution if there was a problem, not smear my Sig like I'm some villian ripping people off with busted parts. Outside of petty arguements, I don't carry grudges because some forum member disagreed with me, but I see you do.

PM me if you want to put the childish crap behind us and move on.
Really??? This was 5.5 months ago! Could have done this sooner ya know.

I wanted to give you adequate time to respond. Your initial responsiveness gave me hope that we could resolve it privately, and you dropping off the map completely meant I felt the need to post this to ensure others that might buy from you would be aware.

Whether or not your father shipped it, you took my money and handled the sale. As far as I'm concerned this comes back to you, especially if folks that might buy from you in the future might receive something from your father as well.

You got a point there man, hopefully you guys can work this out, good luck.

Zoren 370 · 10-30-2012, 05:38 PM

Hopefully this would be resolved the best way for both parties.
Would not want to have the same issues most specially from a forum member.
Sorry to hear about your not so good experience.

JARblue · 10-30-2012, 05:52 PM

$hit happens. Hope you guys can get past it and move on

Here's my outbox:

If you had attempted to resolve this in reasonable way, I wouldn't be posting this. I had to pay out of pocket for access to tools to re-bend the hangers so that things would fit right, and I had to purchase a replacement muffler for the one with loose baffling, as I detailed in my PM's to you.

I'm apparently not allowed to post your PM's here due to forum privacy rules, but I'll say you were very helpful up until the last day I could file a PayPal claim...
