Just curious, buying fiberglass parts Options

[dgw]

I'm just wondering if anyone has bought parts from QRS Fiberglass. They have what seems to me to be an interesting shipping policy, from their web site:

Damage claims: QRS Fiberglass is not responsible for any shipment damaged in transit. All damage claims must be made direcly to the frieght carrier, not QRS. Our responsibility ceases on delivery of the merchandise to the freight carrier.

If you did buy something, did you have any issues with shipping damage? I am looking at their rear deck lid with spoiler, which is a large item and seems like a fumble fingered delivery person could damage it. I don't know how hard it is to recover damages from UPS.

The problem there is that UPS & the other shippers only recognize the shipper who paid for the shipping to have any rights to make a claim, as I recently found out with a Northern Tool shipment this summer.

Either they have to take responsibility or you have to ship it via your own account, or else nobody can make a shipping damage claim.

Perhaps calling them to explain this dilemma will change their mind on that BS escape clause shipping policy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

PS - I just noticed that you're in the Bay Area, and IIRC QRS is here in SoCal - that - added to the super-high cost of shipping oversized items, you may be better off making a trip to pick the large FG parts up & spend the shipping cost on gas & trip expenses!
