Looking to sell Powdercoated calipers & rotors

After reading all off this my take is that there is blame to be shared here. Seems to me they were shipped in good shape and bounced all around in a really poorly prepared package. Explains why the outside of the box still looked fine. Doubtful that there would be paint chips loose in the box, just powder coat damage. If they were shipped like that - loose in newspaper - that's a ginormous fail. Those things were obviously bouncing around into each other the entire time during shipping. Imo you are a really shitty packer, Did you really expect there to be no damage without them each being individually wrapped in some sort of bubble wrap or foam? And he is not much behind you here blame-wise. It's pretty doubtful that they left all scuffed up to begin with. A seller would have to know he would be blown up all over the forum once the buyer opened the box. Then again you could just deny it but would that really be worth it? Not to me. You showed him pics of how they'd be shipped and he still let you convince him it would be fine. I would've bailed right then. Hindsight is 20/20 though. Hopefully common sense will teach a couple of lessons here.

I don’t know what you expect me to do I sent you calipers that were in great condition and now they’re damaged due to some shipping issue do you want me to take them back and now I have Calipers damage that I didn’t have before because you wanted them shipped there’s such tiny little chips you can go to a body shop and buy a little sublime touch up and put little dots on the tiny little chips that are on there and you’ll never even see it i’ve given pictures in the beginning and showed nothing on them being damaged I’ve never sold anything that wasn’t less than excellent condition so you’re going to try to tarnish my selling reputation now

Listen William,

The only reason I came on here is because you sent me a text saying that I was ripping you off and fedex payed me with a check on my claim. That was not true, then you simply quit responding to my texts. You pulled the victim card on me and its just disgusting.

Lets keep things truthful and honest here.

1. You are not a victim of anything here.
I did not "want" them shipped as you pointed blame, if that wasn't an option, I would not have bought them. I wasn't driving to NY. And you put them in boxes and sent them, I did not force you to do so.

2. Me putting touch up paint on little chips is not what I paid you $1,000 for, and these are not little chips. I only sent face pictures, the backs are torn up as well. This is not a chip, and please explain this damage to me and how it happened in shipping. I have not made accusations, I have asked you to explain why it is this, and you blame fedex and me.


I have kept things professional and true. You were added on the claim from day one, so all the information was available to you if you called also. You did not, but still made false allegations against me. I bent over backwards working with fedex and got a rejection. I have roughly 10-15 hours involved into this fedex claim with pictures, down loading them one by one to the site, and calling multiple times to sit on hold for hours on end. Look at it from my side, I did everything that you wanted. I gave you a deposit, I sent the remaining funds immediately when you asked for them, I paid for shipping and insurance. Then I got stuck with all this work and wasted time. I had to sit on hold waiting for fedex, twice in one week, instead of enjoying the beach with my family.
And in the end, I got calipers that you called perfect, but i would not run these on my car. If i wanted to paint calipers, I could have just painted my perfect red ones that are on my car.
How would you like to buy a set of gently used weld wheels that look new in pics, and receive them with the black paint chipping off on the face, when the seller said they were perfect? And then they tell you to go buy touchup paint to fix them? Bottom line, you wouldn't.

I made a huge mistake in not paying the paypal fees, but then again, I thought members that put time in on these forums actually cared about the community. We both have put time in here, had interactions, guess that doesn't make people friends. My bad. I truly feel if I had paypal protection and mailed them back to you, you would be the one posting on here about me saying that I ripped you off.

Again, you are trying to spin this as you being the victim. I am not tarnishing your selling reputation. I am stating facts that shed light. I have a good idea of what happened here but without watching you put them in the boxes in whatever condition and tape them shut, it is only and opinion and can't be proven as a fact.

Bottom line, trying to have fedex cover the damage is not happening. The claim is closed, the boxes told the story by having zero damage.

Are you going to take them back?

If not, are you going to give me anything back?

Expecting me to eat the complete cost when I did everything you wanted and nothing wrong is what will define your character, I have not tarnished you one bit, the facts are there and you are free to explain if I am inaccurate in any of these posts.

Let me know where we go from here.
