ordering FROM major companies is DIFFERENT then shipping and recieving privately. Companies have accounts with good discounts and other advantages

I mean, some guy from UPS was like its possible to add up to 450 if you figure in all the boxes for each wheel, all the bubble wrap and packing popcorn for each box, each box's weight of around 70lbs, plus the "sur charges" (?), rural areas of delivery and other things. I still think this is out rageous and wont settle this until I get an exact break down of all the costs and if they add up, then I'll just end up saying "you guys are crazy, no wonder your all out of existence and out of sight, who the hell do you guys think you are charging people close to 500 bucks to ship some crap that costs ALL the other companies around 200 bucks at the most to ship. Pfffff, rediculous."

uhh....obviously if I've (my mom actually) has been fucked over.....why would i just "live and learn" and let it slide. Instead of telling me that "yea man you got f'ed," it would more helpful to suggest where the costs might have came from, or its impossible to add this up to 450 no matter what, or how it might be possible to dispute this, and so on. Dont just try and get your post counts up people.

My mom went to fedex first and they said they didnt have boxes that were big enough.......ok wtf? So they suggested Mail Boxes Ect......thats where all the shipping, packaging, boxing, wieghing, and charging took place. My mom said that at that point she just wanted to get them shipped since she didnt want to have to drive the wheels all over the place and to fedex or UPS again. I was hoping she could make it back there before they ship the stuff out so she could have told them not to ship anything and to just charge for the boxes and that we'd ship them through another company, not a bunch of fucking ass clowns like Mail Boxes Ect.

quite frankly, I'd wish this thread would die so I wouldnt have to keep seeing it when I refresh the main page, therefore getting reminded and pissed about it all over again.

Then I pointed out that I paid the same when doing a private party transaction. Then you exploded again. You live, you make a mistake, you learn (rather than trying to justify your shafted-ness). If I was trying to defend an obviously bad decision I had made, I'd hope someone would point it out to me. But hey, I'll let cha live how ya like. Have a good day. |

I'm thinking you prob don't need this kind of stress when your trying to recover. I sincerely hope you can get it fixed. For what it's worth, I liked the earlier suggestion to contact your cc company to see what (if anythng) can be resolved.

part of the problem was getting it done from mail boxes etc (and similar stores such as ups store, etc). they charge much more for the service plus you had to buy supplies. since you're bedridden and your mom took them in, i'm assuming mail boxes etc did all the work for you (i could be wrong, i just scanned most of the posts on this thread).
for wheel/tire combos, it's always better to use cardboard on the face and back of the wheel and just wrap the rest and cardboard in tape. this is how tirerack and discount tires sends on there stuff. then instead of mail boxes etc and similar stores, take it directly to ups or fedex (fedex kinkos) to get them shipped.

Also keep in mind he lives in Laguna Beach. Everything is more expensive near the Beach. It costs more to rent a space to do business and it is a more affluent area. Couple that with the fact that mailboxes etc is being run out of business by ups stores and fed ex kinkos and that is how you get to that number. It isnt as simple as "They f#%ked him over." At this point I dont think it is out of line to ask for whoever you sent the wheels to split the cost with you. Your call.

OMG This is too funny. A football is inflated to a "pressure" of 12.5psi, I guess that means it contains 12.5 lbs of air! hahaha! Rule number one, if you're going to make fun of someone and insult their intelligence, don't say something stupid. Dive tanks are 2700 - 4000 psi, that packs just a few more molecules of oxygen in there than 30psi does. |
