wtf is going on.??? one end of my box was damp wet and one side got ripped off.. Took the kit out and both ends has deep grinding scratches to it. Looks like some *****es at fedex took my kit out and grinding it against the cement or something. I SOOO hate them now... screw Fedex

Some of our company's shipment were so badly damaged by Fedex they threw it out themselves. And like the morons they are, they informed neither our customers nor us.

DHL, our previous provider tends to leave packages in hard to find places lol, like under the porch, behind the rose bush, in people's back yard They also deliver the package even thought they went to the wrong address.

UPS gets lazy and don't deliver and forge signatures, saying can't find places like Universal studio in Florida, generally a lot of B.S

That's some FYI for y'all

wow........

Mine came just 10minutes ago with 2 Fedex guy holding Side skirts and Front spoiler. Both boxes were undamaged, perfect condition.

I guess i was in luck. Its rare to have 2 delivery guys to deliver a package. I guess one of them was Trainer and other guy was Trainee.

I would blame fedex. My brother works for FedEx and they tell me all the time, They scan the box and chuck it. They said they ship live fishes and animals and they sometimes just throw it to. They dont really care about the packages


Good luck

Yep! One of my g-spiders was damaged thanks to Fedex. Sewell kindly replaced it.

My box was all messed up also, but no damage to my front lip. It is really strange for Fed-Ex to mess up so many boxes. Maybe the guy at the distribution center tried to order the kit and could not get it, so he took it out on everyone...lol They are usually pretty good from my experience.

If my order was as damaged as that 3rd pic I would ask for a replacement.
