Ohhh how I hate Fed Ex for this. I think they must fine drivers for ringing the bell That is the only reason I can figure why you would not ring a bell that is RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR FACE when you bend down to place a package on the front door step.

Same here, I HATE FEDEX WITH A PASSION lol. I love UPS and wish everyone would ship through them or USPS. The last 6 packages I had come through FedEx were either late, took 1wk plus(I DESPISE their smartmail? service), or like you said the driver said I wasn't available even though there was someone home on the days they stated this. It was so bad they did this 3 times on one package and I finally got to someone who could do something(like 5-6 phone calls to them for this one package) and had to have them hold it at the local facility and go pick it up. Then they proceeded to tell me the wrong time for when the shipping facility opened so I had to sit there for an hour.

UPS on the other hand is always on time or early and have never had anything damaged by them.

Funny coincidence..but all of a sudden I'm told the UPS claim has been approved, and the restocking fee only applies to undamaged parts in my order. The truth is the parts I ordered were a set of M4 GTS taillights, the two main housings on either side were damaged. The smaller units arrived safely.

She told me to ship her the other un damaged lights when I get back for a 20% restocking fee, and apparently the PayPal refund fee has vanished. She's not charging me a restocking fee on the damaged lights (why thank you sooo much). I'm still going to lose some $$ but this seems like the most reasonable and easiest option Thanks for the help/direction on this one..definitely won't make the same mistake in the future.

I think this a good time to move on the Porsches tho

I used to work for a national wholesale consumer electronics distributor and have seen tens of thousands of dollars a month in broken TVs. You can?t inspect your deliveries enough before signing.
