Who ever shipped that did a poor job of properly packaging that up. I have a feeling UPS will deny the claim due to improper packaging. Whoever shipped that out was trying to save money on shipping, looks like a single wall box with very minimal to no packing material.
Worse comes to worse just file a charge back with your CC company if the shipper or UPS can't help you with the claim. Good luck and keep us posted |

UPS drivers make about $40 an hour and will not do anything to jeopardize their job. Like I said, this looks like issue from a UPS sorting facility during shipment.

Crap! Sorry to hear that. Who is taking responsibility for the shipping damages?

$40 an hour = $320 a day = $320 x 20 days = $6400 a month = $76,800 a year ! No education required ? No brain required ? I should become a UPS driver

I personally think both parties are to blame. I'm in touch with both the seller and UPS. Will keep y'all posted.

I should remove whatever brains I do have in my skull, so I can make that amount of money. I make quite a bit more than $83K, but I did, and still do, work very hard (and I'm not talking about physical labor, I'm talking about studying and getting a very tough degree) for my salary.

I just feel I have to stick up for UPS. I do on average $10,000 a year in shipping with them for the powdercoat business and in 10 years they have only lost 1 package, and thats because a repeat customer didn't tell me he moved across the country and I shipped it to his old address. It did get found and correctly delivered though. Also, I've never had a damaged package, aside from 1 or 2 in the first couple months before I learned how to package stuff. |

If that's your experience with UPS, I respect that. My experience with them has been nothing short of horrible. They ALWAYS leave stuff outside my door, without so much as knocking on my door or ringing the doorbell. People can STEAL my stuff EASILY. Yesterday, I was sitting 3 feet from my door, at home, and this driver just left my $1250 equipment outside the door, DAMAGED, and ran away. What do you think about that ? Forget HOW it got damaged ... just the mere fact that the driver, knowing that it was damaged, just dropped it and ran away, probably knowing he'd be in trouble when I found out the condition of the package.

Jeez I don't even know... Sure we can say the seller didn't properly package the item, until you see boot prints that likely caused the entire box to split. No package should be handled to the point of causing that kind of damage. If the item is insured, a claim should take care of it. The contents of the package did not destroy the box, UPS did. Had the box not been trampled, the contents would have probably remained in good condition.

I prefer that the packages are just left in front. If the sender doesn't require a signature, that is all they are supposed to do. My shop is behind my house and I miss fedex deliveries all the time because the drivers won't call the number I leave on my front door to get me to come up front. UPS lets me sign online. I bought a rear diffuser from one of the vendors here, and it came in a similar box, with zero packing material inside of it, just the diffuser bouncing around. Luckily, it wasn't damaged. As for the boot print, that was more than likely done while the box was flat and unassembled. If someone really had stepped on the box there when it was taped up, it would be flattened. |

As for the box being flattened, I'm not sure what happened. I just know that Carbon Fiber is tough - one of its key features - strength. So, luckily, it didn't suffer much damage, except for the large scratches Anyway, no point in me whining about this anymore. Shit happens, I just gotta deal with it ... and hope for a fair outcome Good to meet you, captain At my work, there's a small informal aviation enthusiasts club, and I'm "Flight Engineer".
