Buying a new bumper through the mail

[bobs409]

This question is directed at the vendors here and also anyone that bought a new bumper through the mail.

I won't name the vendor (of which im at my wits end with for this and other things) but I just recieved a repro bumper shipped to me through UPS that was loaded with scratches! This bumper wasn't wrapped in any way, just put in a box with crumpled up newspaper around it. No damage to the box at all so it's not UPS fault. It's obvious that the bumper was rolling around in the box all the way here.

Vendors: Is this how you normally ship a shiny new bumper? I doubt it. My other bumper which I bought locally was wrapped in plastic, followed by bubble wrap and another foam wrap around that! (and I carried this one out of the store like this) If anyone bought a bumper through the mail, how was yours shipped?

I strongly believe that this bumper was a return as it has chrome peeled up around one of the bolt holes and impressions of the round head of bumper bolts and some silver touch up paint on the inside. Since these are brand new bumpers, I don't think they would have the bolt impressions on a few of the holes.

BTW, I have contacted the vendor and they are going to have UPS pick it up. They said they wouldn't send another until the examine this one. They better not even think about blaming me for this mess!

Vendors like Wes, GMC Paul, Kingparts will be getting my business from now on.
