Wheel Debacle

[HACBassoon]

Ok, well, I was selling my wheels a while ago, and unfortunently ran into a huge debacle with UPS with them. Basically it comes down to them telling me that they would package them for me, them shipping them completely bare, getting f*^6ed up, having to deal with the hassle of getting them back/refunding the buyer, and then getting screwed over by UPS's claims dept saying its my fault.

So, now, I have a pair of 17 inch stockers in my garage that are trashed and im out the money I could have gotten for them. Any ideas on what I should do? Is there a way to repair a wheel if its scratched well beyond the clearcoat?

error 1: going with a lazy unionized company like UPS.

 

[HACBassoon]

Yea, tell me about it. Last time I make that error though, thank God.

 

[alf]

have you tried talking to any supervisors? district managers? anything more on the chain of command?

"Work Less, Work Union."

 

[HACBassoon]

Have any idea on how to get in contact with them? I've called customer service tons, but never higher management

1-800-pick-ups?

you can strip the paint, and repaint it black or whatever if you really wanted to.

you guys have got to be joking with the anti-union comments. You work for Wal-mart, or something?

 

[jimithing412]

Oh, forgot my initial thought. IF UPS tells you to eff-off, then get the rims sanded and powder coated

You surely insured them, right?

Looks like time for a set of custom colored stock rims.

 

[HACBassoon]

Yea, I insured it, but it looks like it did sh*t. Oh well. I might make them a little painting project, but I have Huffs, so I doubt I'll actually sport them. Who knows.

How did they claim it was "your fault?"

...And yes, unions are the scourge of the nation's economy, especially in automotive manufacturing.
