You bought another 914? Group: Benefactors Posts: 7,623 Joined: 27-June 03 From: Portage, IN Member No.: 865 Region Association: None |
So I sold this Saratoga Top on ebay for $421. Shipped it FedEx Ground to RI. Arrived cracked. The top was wrapped in a moving blanket, then placed in side a box and that box was then put in a bigger box with more packing around the smaller box.
They buyer is cool, he wants to keep the top, but would like some $$ refunded. I'm cool with that because it is the right thing to do. I have never had to file a claim for damage. I don't expect this to be a fun or easy process. Any words of advice before I start? Thanks |

Garold: To bad that was a nice and rare top. you couldn't have done a better job packing IMO. How well do you know the Buyer? Is he trustworthy? IMO you are the one who bought the Ins. ,even if buyer paid for it. You deal with FedX. I have not delt with Fed X on this type of thing but UPS many times! Your buyer files a claim with Fed X ,(he should save boxes and packing material) fed X will examine it and contact you. YOU DEAL WITH THEM, not your buyer!!!!!! I am very suspicious of someone who will buy and pay for a Saragota top and claim it is cracked on delivery, BUT still wants it . What for? The crack kind of defeats it purpose dosn't it. Me think something is not right here. I think the buyer is trying to work you . I would want conformation from Fed X , and pictures from the seller be fore a returned a dime. Also if he wants a major reduction in price, 1/2 or more tell him ,to ship it back and you will refund the full price ,less shipping. That usually seperates the cons from the honest ones . Good luck man,and keep us posted. David (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) |
