I purchased a set of S4 TII rotors from ls1007, paid the full asking price for item, shipping, and even paypal fees. Received the item a little over a week later. When I opened the package, this is what it looked like:



You would think these parts weren't very important to the engine, considering the eight pieces of styrofoam used!!! Needless to say, when they got here, the apex seal/corner seal grooves were damaged to ****:



Upon receiving these, I contacted ls1007 about the damage, being polite and courteous.


Thought they were packaged well enough? there was absolutely NOTHING between the apex seal groove and the corner of the cardboard box on BOTH sides!

and once again he comes back with the bullshit

and then I get angry...

Not his fault they were damaged? So, did someone else package them up so poorly while you were drunk and blindfolded and then mail them out?

So the seller sends me $150 paypal'ed (with no 3% fee...) so I now have $145 out of the $250+ I've spent, I've got MORE useless rotors, and I am the one who is the dick? I've now opened a claim through paypal to try to get my full refund, and i'm willing to settle it by returning the $150, and getting my $204 refunded, in which I'm still taking a loss.

 

look . u were being a dick i asked u to wait for the rest of the money and u couldnt . so i sent u 150 ..

and u didnt pay full asking price . i wanted 200 for them i had cut u a deal for 150 for both ..

in noooo way was i trying to screw u . but after the insults and name call it be happy with that .

u could have waited about 1 week for me to gather like another 27 ******* dollars to get u ur full refund that i was ok to give u and then u got mad . so too bad so sad i refunded ur 150 u paid for the rotors . thanks . ups damged the rotors . not me . im not the one that droped them off at ur door step .

again i would have giving u the full refund if u would have been patient . but u werent . and also its not my fault about u having to pay extra money for storage of ur car and other **** ..

once again sorry ! accept it or not .

 

Not. we'll see if paypal will resolve this I guess.

 

Always ask a shipper to install old apex seals when shipping rotors... Just a tip.

 

thank you, advice is much appreciated, I will remember that!

 

I doubt it! Paypal usually screws anyone outside of ebay buyers/sellers.


Did you request insurance on the package prior to shipping? Just wondering...

 

didnt ups or whoever u shipped the package stop u from shipping somethingwas loose. idk but this is why i pay or have a buyer pay for packaging on shipping cost. let them deal with it becuase if u pack it and get it damage. ups or fedex will want the box and everything that u used to investigate the broken pieces on this kind of bs. I dont trust myself on packing.. there i admit and so should the person who shipped the rotors but atleast i make sure they dont get damaged. A worker at fedex gave me a tip. never use newspaper. allways use extra carboard, stryofoam around the edges of item and styrofoam inside to cusion the impact. To test if itll hold up. He told me to purposly drop the box from a desk or like 3 feet high. If it bounches and roll with no noise then u got urself a safe legit packaged item. If not then its gonna be in danger of damaging.
to the op i think u were a bit aggresive..not a dick but aggresive. U had a bad experience but if u waited this arguement could had been avoided. When you are nice and respectfull to each other, they tend to want to do the good thing and fix the problem.

 

Wrong, it's your fault that the rotors arrived like that. That was a horrible packing job, and those rotors were doomed before they ever left your hands.

You need to refund the buyer every dollar that he spent, period. You should probably include extra for wasting his time.

 

+1 and waisting our time

that **** looks like it was packed by a retarded quadriplegic

 

its the buyers fault for not buying insurance.

IMHO

 

Wrong again. No shipping carrier in it's right mind would EVER honor an insurance claim for a box packed as ****-poor as that one was......

 

I ship items from Sears and UPS really abuse the boxes.

I do agree the box should have been packaged better.

I always tell people to always do sig confirmation...if the box looks beat up...dont except it.

 

Yeah, packing rotors like crazy **** is a no-brainer, they'll shift and shimmy like mad in transit. It's the sellers fault for not ensuring they were secure/safely packaged before being turned over to the shipping company.

 

wow u guys should really see the packadge again .. it did have double cardboard and styrofoam on the corners . i made sure the box was just big enough so that the wouldnt move around .

and i was willing to refund him his 204 .. but he couldnt wait . and trying to give me a deadline ?! wtf ..

the packaging was fine . and next time i ship sumthing ill get retard to ship it for me . since OVIOUSLY u guys think they can do better .

 

"Double cardboard" on the corners, plastic wrap (are those trashbags?), and random chunks of styrofoam won't really do much against two heavy rotors and intertia. I find it hard to believe that your packing job would have kept anything secure.

Good luck getting anyone else to buy from you on this forum after having a glimpse of your "packing"--seeing as you're more concerned with $54 dollars and your pride rather than acknowledging a mistake and doing the right thing.

 

The purpose of packing is to make sure the stuff in the box DOES NOT MOVE...not to give it something soft to bang up against once it does.

 

if anyone one read the post i was willing to refund full price . he couldnt wait . so there . ill make sure to sell anything to anyone any more .

 

You fail at packing...and simple grammar.....

 

I wasn't willing to wait "a bit" as you put it. Would I ask to buy something from you, and tell you I'll get you the payment in "a bit"? Did I wait "a bit" to paypal you for the items I was to receive? no. And being that you screwed up, and that this is clearly your fault, I didn't feel it was fair for me to wait.

Actually, you were only willing to refund in full if I was to pay for shipping to return them to you. So I was supposed to spend another $50 to send them back to you, hoping for a refund? All of this because you didn't properly ship my items? And where was the double cardboard dude? Was it invisible? Oh and btw, 8 pieces of styrofoam does not count as proper packing. I don't think so bud. I hope your potential future buyers will look over this thread to see your carelesness. I'll do everything I can to make sure of that.

 

Unrelated to your thread, BUT People actually do that ALL the time!!!

 

DAMN STRAIGHT!!! Just package things being shipped better
...................................and this isnt anything against the seller ,just the situation if it went down like he said
