Buckle Up!

Parts were just as described, great price, excellent communications!The Packing and shipping were very... questionable though. Shipping didn't take long at all but putting two side fairings on top of each other in a cardboard box with no protection or packing? :/ . Thanks though, appreciate the parts!

Re: Buckle Up!

Proper Packaging is really important, especially when shipping fragile items such as plastics, glass, liquids, etc. I know what goes on at shipping companies, and it does not look pretty. Consider yourself lucky that the plastics didn't crack because when packages are loaded into trailers, they are stacked up on each. It's like playing tetris, but instead it's with packages. Different sizes and weight.

lol bro i have got stuff shipped that way to me befor with no problems...as for the plastics they can take more abuse than you think... also i know the boxes would be able to take it..lol you should have seen how the same set of plastics came to me..there wasnt even a bottom on the makeshift box ..and yet i didnt go say ...oh the packing was questionable..and you said that you were gonna sand em down to paint em any ways..

and how was the shipping questionable????....it cost almost $50 to ship that size package and that money came out of the money you sent me.... and you got a tracking number also i think my phone number...



well any ways guess i cant make people happy all the time


enjoy the parts


ps..if the parts came to you as described...then whats the problem

the package was basically 2 boxes put together oh and i also put the value of the parts on the box at full value..so i really dont think they want to pay full price on the parts and they do treat it better

thats also why i use fed ex so far they have been very good with my package

oh i meen packages

Re: Buckle Up!

You have not seen the actual "process" of how shipping carriers treat their packages. Do I know how the process is? Yes. Why? Because I work for FedEx Ground. The reason why your packages have not been ruined is cuz you got lucky. When packages are loaded into trailers, Package Handlers play "tetris" with all incoming packages. With a high volume of packages being unloaded and loaded within every terminal, it will go through hell. Which is why it is always best to pack your packages with enough stuffing and protection as possible. Dude, We have small heavy packages from hardware companies that punctures "light" and "unprotected" packages. So it's basically based on luck on where your packages are being placed in the trailer and who's loading/unloading it.

And here's a tip for everyone:

Do not write "FRAGILE" on the packages. That seperates the identity with other packages and creates it as a target for the Package Handler. (Keep in mind, most package handlers are young and don't really care about the packages. They just want to finish their hours, make their money and go home!)
