Sadly, they don't seem to be.

The other day I had a kit ready to be picked up by the freight company. They got there, looked at the boxes. Saw that we were shipping fiberglass parts and REFUSED to take the shipment. The reason? They don't want to deal with claims for car parts.

So far this is the 2nd company that has done this (that I know of). USELESS people.

Try working properly instead of just being a pile of s***. eh?
I agree. It is probably not that they don't want to deal with claims, rather they half a** everything and don't handle packages with care. They're probably tired of pissed off customers. No matter what you ship, as long as it isn't hazardous or something, they should accept it. It is their job.

"its their job"...

i dont understand why people get pissed off to do what they are getting paid to do, ESPECIALLY with a public job.

my friend works for fedex and he's one of those guys that unloads the trucks. They throw and kick packages all day long. He told me he accidentally stepped on a package because it was small and he didn't see it. The employees get only $11/hour and they're expected to unload a full truck in like 12 minutes so what do you expect.

Sucks that it came that way. People still need to do what they are paid for.

No disrespect to you bud or anything. I expect people to man up and do their job right. If you don't like your job, guess who's problem that is. Not mine or my Effed up package. If I did have a job I hated, I'd look for a better one. If I couldn't get a job I liked? Looks like I need to change something to get that job. Such as: More schooling, learning better skills, have a better overall work ethic. I worked some crappy jobs all the while improving myself AND looking for better jobs. I work tech support for internet and phone for my cable company, I like it. Granted I'm not getting paid enough to get myself a brand spankin new GTR. But I like what I do and not a day I dred coming in to work. Figured it could be worse, I could be flipping burgers or washing dishes again. There's accidents and then there's carelessness. People pay hundreds if not a thousand plus, in parts and other stuff to be shipped to them. and for a company to consistently have poor shipping quality compared to others is unacceptable. I don't care how fast my sh*t gets to me, not like I need parts overnighted from Japan. I know UPS isn't without mishandled deliveries, but they have a better shipping system and better customer service AND have far less mishandled shipments by comparison.

I know what that's like, when I moved last year I shipped a $1,890 mountain bike in factory box with fedex from MD to TN, when I went to pick it up from the TN location (because they refused to deliver) it was tossed in a box bigger then a refrigerator box, and the bike was cracked, got $670 from them in settlement :-(

Looks to me like the shipper did not do a good enough job packaging a HEAVY item.

Is that directed towards me? If it is you are wrong. Fedex ruined the package because they don't give a s***.

no, they do not, the one's pictured are imaginary, that's why fedex "lost" them.

Oh you will. I'll be doing a install/review thread for these. Not sure when I'll get to them. I'll be buying lots and lots of parts from now until may, but then I have to get surgery meh.

Edit: also looks like they were trying to but the coilovers together and just threw them in the box
