Well THAT sucks. Be prepared for a LOT of bullshit from the shipping company....they automatically blame it on improper packaging.

Hopefully the Doctor will ship another set and take those back....save the packaging and take MORE pics.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Wow, that's unreal. I had 8 flares in a box and some were tweaked, but not nearly that bad as yours. Just give George a call and I'm sure he'll take care of it.

Any comment from the DR?

I still havent received my set but from the looks of things I would rather wait to get a decent set and not something that was rushed out. A few pieces of paper is really a piss pore way to ship something worth $650.

If you saw them come off the truck like that then refusal of delivery might have been a good move. At my office we never sign for damaged goods.

sorry about your damaged goodies. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I hope it's insured and if not, well, I was the one who did the handform flares on your car (assuming you got the car from Mueller this month or so) maybe we can take a good look at it to repair it....but first get someone to take the responsible for this bullshit...or at least get payment for repairing it?

I am in no position to assuming AA is involved with this transaction but I hope George H. could chime in and perhaps put a grip on the manufacture to be responsible for shipping like that....that's totally unacceptable, man!

good luck.....

I heard from George a couple of days ago that mine have been shipped direct from the manufacturer - they're coming to the UK so I hope they've been packed a lot better than that...

I think you don't need insurance for this one because insurance is not required for other peoples negligence or better yet for the carrier to do their job. If they say you need insurance to insure the delivery company does not damage it, then it sounds like a mofia deal to me. Like, you pay us not to f^%# it up. Do do do.

The package was not lost or stollen but looks like someone was not doing their job and were careless in handeling. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

Mine came from AA and were VERY well packed. You should deffinitely contact George and make sure he sees those pics. That is TOTALLY inexcusible whether the manufacturer or, more than likely, the shipping co. is responsible. As for the fitment I was very pleased with the fit on my car. there shouldn't be a whole lot of werk to get them perfect.
