Okay-
Sold a set of 17" Porsche Cup wheels for a friend of mine. Just trying to be nice. The price was $600 Delivered. I wrapped the wheels in corrugated cardboard/tape thoroughly, then wrapped each pair of wheels together with more cardboard/tape. Used 1600 Inches of tape (2 brand new rolls) total on the packing- 800' for each pair. The wheels travelled from Washington to San Diego and were DEMOLISHED in transit. One wheel never even showed up- the box was destroyed there were just the remains of the packing. The wheels that made it are scratched badly. 1st BIG problem: I used the website and entered the info for the 1st box insured for $400, then hit "duplicate package" which duplicated all but the insurance info- so they say the 2nd box is not insured. 2nd BIG problem: They called me and said cardboard DOES NOT qualify as a packing item- therefore my claim is DENIED. I said kindly, NO IT IS NOT- YOU WILL PAY ME. And explained the situation calmly to teh person on the phone- she replied they would get back to me and I haven't heard from them. I feel fairly powerless. Any advice? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) -Bob O |
