guy sends me a bonnet in exchange for mine
bonnet turns up 3 weeks later than expected, although it was tracked in the first few days

and its fooked

and the courier company wont accept responsibility because i signed for it....
not like i could have unwrapped it and checked it on the street

Proper sucks this kind of shit! They deliver the stuff, and you don't check it cos a) you aren't there (someone else signs for you) b) it's impractical and half the time c) the courior guy won't wait for you to check it before signing....

Then when you find out it's fucked they won't do anything about it cos you signed for it!!!!



I always sign stuff as "unchecked" and often leave a reason - "unchecked due to driver not waiting" or similar......

what happened to your original bonnet?

this is why i collect stuff if at all possible, even if its miles away. trust nobody.

Carlsworth

original bonnet was part ex with mitto for fibre glass one off your old car stav.

then i changed my mind, so had the f/g one for sale

a guy from ireland sent me a cheque for the f/g one in exchange for his bonnet

Is it definalty damage done by the courier or was it like that before maybe 9and maybe blamed on the courier. probably not but you never know. Obviously check the packaging around the areas and youll see straight away.

Carlsworth

defo done by courier....

but imo, it was badly packaged around corners and front, but it had please treat with care stickers all over it...obviously it wasnt...

so, whos to blame

Stavros

aaah, i see.

shame really.

rs shawn

I don't thin kyou can blame then for the washer jet, but probably the corner being bent, altho it doesn't look to be fresh damage...

S1rst

Probably both partly to blame then. I always get people sign unchecked, although im not actually sure if this would cover them though. Is it one of the big couier companies or a smaller one? Id ring someone high up and explain you couldnt check it on the street and only signed to say you have received it. Worth a try.

I always sign and put "recieved parcel, condition unverified" or similar

I hate this! The best one was i had to pick a parcel up for the depot. Bit stickers all over the package saying if i signed for it and it was damaged then tuff shit.
The woman behind the counter wouldnt let me have the package until i signed for it! WTF

I can't have it till i sign for it, but if i sign for it and its damaged then im buggered!

fuzzy

lesson learned. next time unwrap and check before signing.
