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.

I ship my parts F.O.B my dock freight prepaid and insurred. If pick up is not an option, the option to add insurance is usually cheap.

For me the terms are a matter of not creating a nexus by owning property in a state that requires taxes to be collected.

In a nutshell what has probably happened is they had qute a few claims either due to "inadequate" packaging, or the carrier they used beat the hell out of thier freight, and then they couldn't prove they were adequately packaged.

The catch is they have to be packed well enough to meet the insurrance requirements. This is why I often have custom boxes made. It's hard to argue that they were not packaged adequately when you have a box specifically made for the product. I'm doing this for the bumper tops.

local pick up I'm sure would be preferred by them.
