FAWKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[01BASELUDE]

How is it possibble for ups to snap a cam. that sucks man. was there insurance?

[1997Prelude]

I would raise Holy Hell. Blow up that customer support line and demand to speak to whoever answers supervisor.

[twokexlv6coupe]

jesus christ, were they playing baseball with your package?? hows that possible?

and yea, did you have insurance?

[hojemwod]

jesus....even if you didnt have insurance maybe they'll make an exception..they had to have been pretty rough with it

[91Si4WS]

dammit dude that **** sucks, you need to bomb that place

[rich045]

well i will never use UPS again... thats for sure
we (the seller and i) are doing as much as we can to get this claim going even though we have no insurance on the package. i've taken plenty of pics and he will present them to the usp store, looks like they messed up.

[3rdGenCrazy]

dam/\/ dude! that blows major cock! they should pay for that, insurance or not, they were SUPER reckless w/ that package.

[rich045]

say hello to UPS store packaging.
Please be assured that when I SHIP SOMETHING, i package it myself, i am extremely meticulous when it comes to packaging.

but i still sad...

[runtingz]

how the hell did they split something in a box and that was most likely wrapped with something...thats just weird man. they had to seriously abuse the **** out of that box for that to break dude...

what kind of cams are those

[rich045]

crower stage 2

[runtingz]

yo man, don't take any crap from them thats so obvious that the box had so much pressure otherwise it wouldn't have those pressure folds. damn im never using UPS now...hail DHL

[rich045]

yea i shouldve used DHL, cause my office has a contract with DHL, i couldve just sent the dude pick it up...

[DEViN]

i worked at UPS for 3years and ill tell you first hand that boxes are crunched, slammed, stepped on, dropped, and ALWAYS thrown!... theyre treated with no regard to whats inside..
I was often instructed by my supervisors to throw the boxes if i have too, just get it done quickly!!
on a side note...USPS just delivered my new valve cover and it was cracked!!!
so i feel your pain man:mad:

[Pooponurhead]

I'm with you man. Nuke that place.:mad:

[prelude24]

hold off on the nukes lol but deff unleash sum sorta hell lol

[BadMofo]

That is freakin' ridiculous. How did they manage to do that??? **** UPS

[mcimo]

Holy crap! It's not even like its a thin piece of metal! How the heck did that happen!?

[93-LUDE-SI]

I work at a packing and shipping store and the joke hear is would you rather have it broke by UPS or lost by Fedex? DHL is by far the worst though. Snapping a cam is impressive though. Was the seller someone on here or Joe blow?

[DEViN]

SO check it out, just got my replacement valve cover for the cracked one i received a week+ ago and SUPRISE!! its also damaged!! ROUND TWO didnt help!

UPS::smashfreakB: USPS::smashfreakB:
KILL EM ALL
good luck to your situation man

[ogsmakdade]

damn. they did the same thing to my exhaust and I waited an extra month to get an undamged one.
That sucks man, I hope you get new cams.


I have a ton of stuff being delived to me....... I hope it all shows up in one piece...

[Prelude13]

Crower stage 2...

correction, they were crower stage 2 with corrected idle lobes.

[jay3134]

Damn thats a shame, crower cams are really nice too, that almost makes me sick and they arent even mine.... I just had a s**t load of stuff delivered and it all came through fedex... to say the least its all in good shape.

[mizlude]

I also worked for ups. The best thing you can do is insur it for over 3 grand because it will go in a red bag that only the manger can mess with. Other then that all you can do is hope and pray that it will come in safe.

Ya your spot on there!! the high insurance boxes DO NOT get messed with. Head of security or managers handle those privately.
For a cam to break like that though, id bet money it got caught in a bad belt jam. That probably didnt happen by hand.

[rich045]

well looks like UPS is being a bitch and only reinbusing 100 bucks, since i do want the cams, i have contacted crower and found out the price for just 1, this price is 220 per cam. Now since i need $$ and i am getting 100 bucks from them, i need to make up the difference so the AEM CAM GEARS on the cams are gonna go for sale. They are brand new, never installed in a car, just installed on the cam so i will be takin offers, they go for 160ish new so base your offers on that and do not try to lowball me cause i hate lowballers.
also i will ship it with USPS, AND I WILL PUT INSURANCE, I WILL NEVER USE UPS AGAIN IN MY LIFE!.

and if your question is what cam gears am i gonna use? am i gonna use the stock ones? this will answer your question

That's that BS right there.... maybe there was a flaw in the cam that UPS tripped on (no excuse to only give back 100 though). you should present a receipt/invoice for a new cam and tell them it was brand spankin new.

Also, ALWAYS insure the package for 20% more of the cost of anything new...

IE. Motherboard shipped... new... 100.00
Insurance... 120.00

the reasons:
1. Most items broken will not be refurbished so no core rebate (car parts)
2. Covers the shipping cost (especially if you need a new unit shipped to your house)
3. Not trying to scam any postal service, but the AMOUNT of time waiting for them to re-imburse is redonkulous! (4-8 weeks?!) you might need that little extra for a financial infusion...

haha already got that :biggrin:

[ogsmakdade]

sounds like you have as many surprises in store as I do. mwhahahaha.

[flyby]

I also worked for UPS loading a 747, years ago. We were instructed that it was ok to "swiftly" move a dropped box along with our foot-but not kick it. The items that were marked "fragile" got more of a beating then those that were not!!!

Also, I just recieved my amp kit, and rca's via UPS. The items were in blister packs, and not "really" breakable, but the box was F*CKED up when it was dropped @ my door without signature required.....The hole was big enough to almost have the rca's come out.

Last Fed-x shipment got lost for 4 days...

It is unbelieveable how bad shippers are lately, as well as, the packing places.....makes me second guess when i order that really good "online price."

[R8GYY]

i know exactly how you feel bro.. i had some tsx retro's done from brian and shipped to me via usps and they broke one headlight. i dunno how the **** they managed it but they did. if i was anywhere closer to the states id be shooting some kneecaps off.

[00CDMLUDER]

damn thats sucks bro! at least you know to get insurance next time.

[FRAS]

ha yeah insurance is always a good idea.

[BMan88]

I'm glad you cleaned the blood off before taking the pictures;)
