Plastic bezels...should have known better

I ordered the cheap plastic headlight bezels when I ordered my 73/74 grille. As the photos show, the quality is crap. Only one came out like this, but it's still a big disappointment for this to show up at my door.
The one that wasn't defective actually fit rather well, so I don't know whether to return them both or just the problematic one...

LMC. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to let me return/exchange them.

Re: Plastic bezels...should have known better

Their returns procedure states that if the return is due to their error, they'll reimburse my shipping. I'll tell them I did not order a ****ed up bezel, and that they must have sent me the wrong one
I've bought quite a bit of crap from LMC, and I'd hope they have good enough customer service to take care of the shipping.

Re: Plastic bezels...should have known better

I bought quite a bit from LMC with no problems. It probably came to them like you got it. Surely thell make it good.

Re: Plastic bezels...should have known better

Just got off the phone with LMC: they are shipping me another bezel free of charge (I pay no shipping, nothing for the part.) I asked the lady how I should go about being reimbursed for shipping the defective one back, and she told me they didn't want it back. She didn't request pictures; nothing.
I am a happy camper.

Re: Plastic bezels...should have known better

I've had to return a couple of items before and they always made it right. They allowed me to keep the defective part and they just sent me another one. If a part is defective, they cant resale it so they rather not take the cost of shipping it back.

Cool. that's what i was responding, but you beat me to it. Truck is looking good by the way.

Re: Plastic bezels...should have known better

Ive only had one defective item I've ever purchased from LMC. It was a cracked mirror, but their customer service was great, I shipped it to them, they sent me a new one, and I didn't have to pay anything.

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

I bought the front grille surround trim and headlight trim from LMC for my 85 C10, it didnt fit correctly and was made in China. They sent a second set and fit the same so I threw it in the trash can and found NOS and it fit like a glove. I still buy alot from LMC, but only for certain items I cant find NOS. I would rather wait for the pieces to become available on ebay or here than waste my money.
