Shipping

I got some very good advice this year. I shipped a 62-64 D100 grille this year and since it was steel I packed it and shipped UPS. It came to the buyer bent like a pretzel. I was pissed, but not a lot I could do about it. I then sold a 61 D100 grille which is thin aluminum factory riveted together. I was going to build a wooden box the could only be crushed by a forklift running over it. The buyer said take it to a UPS store and pay for them to box it up! I thought about it and realized what he said, that if THEY pack it they are 100% responsible for it and will be MUCH more careful when it ships! It got to the buyer Illinois to California in perfect shape! If I ever ship another valuable fragile part, I WILL do it the same way! It cost $80 for them to pack it, then what it cost to ship and the buyer paid for it so he would get a good part...

HaHaHaHaHa Are you NUTS, I bought a 340 6 pack set up complete with air cleaner from Cal. When I got it it was junk. The guy did just that took it to a UPS Store and had them box it and ship it. They wrapped the air cleaner in bubble wrap, wrapped the carbs and intake in bubble wrap carbs bolted to intake with the air cleaner studs sticking out and put them in the same box side by side. When I got it the box was round every corner smashed the air cleaner was smashed the carb studs were bent one carb broke, the one corner of the intake was sticking out of the box and looked like someone drug it down the road. UPS told me the stores are all independently owned they have no responsibility. I tried to file a claim but UPS said the purchaser of the insurance has to file the claim, that is the seller. So I had to call him and he filed the claim got the check and cashed it. UPS said oh well that is illegal and you have to sue him. I would have to get a lawyer from Cal to do that. I bought it from Ebay and had them involved the whole time and they finally gave me all my money back but FU*K UPS I will never use them again no mater how far out of my way I have to go.
