I am DAM PiSSed OFF

[Caution]

DAm, i paid over $100 for my complete on EBAY ripoff, i mean complete 93 Prelude h23a1 intake manifold undamaged, but they got poor a$$ shipping and handeling and because of that the nipples on the black box and the sensor on the throttle body got broken during shipping. I need this to do my f22a6/h22orh23 mani conversion swap. I called up the guy to see If i get another piece to replace it. I told them that there shipping is really poorass and the guy on the phone even admits it to me! There shipping style was put the intake manifold in a huge box, it was huge and made of 2 smaller boxes, and breaking a couple big chunks of stylefoam packaging around it, the kind you get when you buy tv, stereo etc; that kind of hard stylefoam, they figure since its heavy, made of metal it wont move much or get broken; then they they tape it close and then they gift wrap it and write on the side, "this side up". These people are dumbass when it comes to shipping....i wont ever buy from them again!! What do you guy think i should do, get refund and leave negative feedback, get parts and leave nuetral feedback, or anysuggestions!

[sublime]

well i doubt you qualify for a refund, but give it a shot.

[Caution]

well, the guy say if he cant find ne one then I can return item for refund, but heck, i forgot to ask, who does the return shipping, I certainly aint, what about I just ask for maybe like so much back?? LIke 30% refund? By all mean, I need some justice!

[jdm_inspired]

did you pay shipping insurance? if anything check and see if it was damaged by shipment. If the people plotted it to be broken and LOOK like it was broken through shipping than make a dispute with paypal or through ebay (depending what you paid by). Ill help you out. I got screwed over many times

[Caution]

no, I forgot about the black box and the tps and how easy they are to break thats y I didnt get the Inurance, besides he wanted $7 worth for the insurance, that buy a lot of insurance at the Post office, he said he was gonna ship it Priority, but shipped it standard mail. Freakin basta. Well, cant I still file a complaint? I paid with paypal. I know all the parts there, but dam, the most vital part that is hardest to find is broken, the BLACK BOX!

Good luck with that. Ive shipped quite of afew things and 7 dollars for 100 bucks sounds better than having 100 piece of shit sitting there.

good luck, and i have a black box i can sell you 45 shipped.

I'll help the guy out.

Styrofoam

[Caution]

that styrofoam stuff,....you know when you buy like a new tv or computer or appliance and they stuff it around your stuff before the stick it in the box, the white stuff for insulation from damages...those stuff, well they just broke up a few big chunks and thewem in the box and expect that the manifold wasnt gonna be toss around like a pizza!

I'm sorry dude, but he offered insurance. Kinda screwed yourself on that one.

But on a positive note you can usually fix those plastic nipples. I have numerous times plastic parts suck. What you do is get some JB weld or plastic repair preferably a 60 second epoxy. Sand along the edges of both parts that are broke. Dab a little plastic repair on both parts of the plastic. After dabbing a little bit of plastic repair on both sides line them up and hold them together until it dries. Now after it is good and hard and lined up good mix some more plastic repair and apply it to the outside of where the crack used to be. Make sure that dries good and take a small file.....like a torch tip cleaner and clean out the inside of the hole...$5 fix..there ya go! Hope I explained it well enough lemme know if not and i'll post pics! Fixed alot of stuff this way!

[Caution]

Thanks, I didnt read this until I made a DIy on how to fix those dam nipples, anyways chek it out. Oh, actually, it broke because they package the thing horribly. U can flip the box and the thing just tumbles inside the box, the box was way oversize for it, and then they didnt even use any good packaing material like popcorn styrofoam filler or that good expensive stuff, even newpaper pack tight in there woulda been better, its really there falt for not packing it right the first time, and there box was not even sturdy, it was half crushed when i got the item, it was 2 box taped together, how cheasy, and i paid $50 somthing for shippin. Anyways, they didnt have one to replace me, but he say hell send me out a Greddy Style Cheap EBAY BOV, I took a look and it aint bad, so that will do, he aint gonna charge me ne thing, Better be, Or else Imma file for complaint agains him Via pp. Thanks guys
