I got a Rear crome carpet hold down strip for my Jimmy from CA I have ben looking for one for 3 years I was waiting for it to come wednesday and it came right on time. The box was bent and had a lot of tape over a big hole I thought to my self I bet it is bent and it was. I hope I can straighten it.

That really sucks. Too late now, but next time insist the shipper use PVC pipe as a shipping container. I did it many times with trim pieces. Cheap and indestructable (almost).

Hope you can salvage it

There's so much I know, it's all in my book "Hints from Boz-All" AKA "What Not To Cut".

That does suck, it happened to me on a tailgate band. I use a piece of 1x4 now when I ship them. I'm getting ready to ship some blazer rear panels, I have a piece of plywood I'm putting in between them to try to save them. Shipping Co don't care and they hard to get any $$$ out of too. Sorry for the bad luck, hope you can straighten it.

Dang that's some bad luck. Been looking for 3 years and finally get one... but it's bent. I hope you can get it fixed.

The lady at post office said that I could get my money back but they would have to keep it. I want to get my Jimmy back on the road in the spring I dont know how long it would take to find another one it cost me less than $50.00 to get this it mite cost over $100.00 to get another one. I will going back to the post office on friday to see what I can do. Maybe if I comeplain enough maybe I will get my money back and keep the part.
