Sorry, I have to vent this out.
I purchased a pt4000 stall from a member on ls1tech with +12 feedback a week ago. I sent him a money order for $500, and he shipped it out quick and even sent me a tracking #.
I got the TC delivered by UPS and the input neck was smashed into an oval shape because the seller did a ****** job packaging it up (Pictures Below). Im not sure what he was thinking packing up a 30lb TC with a few peices of foam and a cost cutters bag.
So I contact the seller pretty pissed, but still respectful, and tell him what happened. I asked for a refund and told him that I would be shipping this back to him. (The shipper is responsible for claims, and they are the one to get compensation from UPS) I really doubted that UPS would award the money based on his ****** job at packaging.
This guy apologizes for the damage, and offers to pay for the damage,
telling me to call Yank and get a quote. I talk to yank and they quote $300 to fix it. I tell the seller, then he completely stops answering my calls/texts/PMs for 4 days, which I sent every day. The cool thing about technology is that I can track his activity on LS1tech, and texts are confirmed received. I know he checked them but NO ANSWER.
I then open a claim at UPS to replace the part, claiming its new value of $845. UPS allows the receiver to open a claim, but the shipper gets the final compensation for damage.
Now 4 days since he stopped responding, I just got a text from the seller saying that UPS called him and they are going to cover it. Either he is bull****ting me, or I just made this snake a $445 profit for being a neglectful seller. Im still down the 500 with a broken converter to show for it.
