So I sold me OEM 18 inch wheels for a really good price over at M3Post.COM ($1900)


I ship the wheels with cardboard over the faces and wrapped REALLY well in cellophane wrap. The tire arrives at the buyer's house with a nick on the wheel (gave him a $40 refund for that right away) and one of the front tires has a FUCKING hole in it!!!!!!! Arghhh!!!!!!!

I am trying to sort it out with UPS...those stupid fvckers seriously managed to put a whole in the freaking tire! And its on the damn sidewall so it can't be plugged!

UPS will cover $100 max...cause I didn't buy insurance...now I am down like $400 for a new tire!

That sucks! Thats why you always get insurance, even if it cost a little bit more for shipping!

Sorry to read about this Krozi.

I sometimes wonder about the world, we humans must be ass**les.

It seems that many of us must destroy everything that isn't ones own.

Makes me very sad.

Is it greed, jealousy and/or lack of democracy or are we just idiots?

how can you get a hole while shipping? are you sure the buyer is not playing games with you?
