Message through work for goods brought in from the US and overseas where they refuse to take responsibility for obvious shipping damage and the claim has dragged on for weeks, usually with either a 'settlement' based on weight or total value of a warranty replacement part which they refuse to acknowlege value according to the shippers description. 'Heartless bastards' does not begin to describe the claims dept. employees of major couriers.

To clarify, 'regardless of size' means this case that they will ship a boxed muffler (over 108 in) that USPS won't. I stand corrected.

In my experience, shipping by USPS has resulted in my parts (boxed Stillen Sways, Sport 500 turbos, countless orders from Concept Z Performance arriving within 10 days and with a 5% brokerage fee and GST added, far below what UPS, Fedex and Purolater charge.

My most recent purchase from Scott Smith on the hardpipe group buy was sent Fedex, with a healthy $ 66.00 additional bill 3 weeks after shipment for the aforementioned brokerage and GST. Wiped out the savings on the group buy.

For Canadian shipments, USPS has been reliable and cheaper in over 5 years of parts buying.

Regards,





The 300ZX Turbo is a dance; it's a song;
it's rolling, roaring automotive art.
There is no color that doesn't suit it.
There is no mood-lifting chemical
substance it cannot replace.
