Changing wheels this weekend.

I can't say the packaging was as good as it could have been. Single layer of cardboard.

It's no big deal, they'll take care of me (I hope). Not the worst thing to have happened to me in my life.

That SUCKS!!!

Me too. The tire place is making a claim already.

I got the driver to acknowledge the damage right on delivery and he signed a statement for me. Tire store said that that wil speed up the process tremendously.

I'm kind of surprised that these didn't arrive in boxes

cooltoy · 08-01-2014, 07:12 PM

Me too.

MadChemist · 08-01-2014, 07:18 PM

You didn't buy from getyourwheels, did you? Mine had two layers of cardboard on each side plus a thin foam layer for the face side.

cooltoy · 08-01-2014, 07:22 PM

There was foam too, but as you know UPS will destroy anything. They manage to destroy FI exhausts. And nobody packs it like they do.

Ya. Lol. I figure - a month. Probably depends on how fast the claim goes. They have not even picked up the damaged one yet.

I'll just drive on three wheels until then.

My body kit hit the border in 5 days from California then I waited over a month for it to arrive in Edmonton, then another 3 weeks for them to clear it from brokerage!
