messed up weekend
The two things I had planned this weekend both failled
The rear gti brakes are such a nightmare to fit its not worth fitting them until I had new pads/discs (i.e the effort to fit them twice isn't worth it!)
the new front bumper was pack in this basically a thing layer of bubble wrap
so the bumper ended up like this and this fooked basically
why can't mupperts pack stuff properly
it would have been a straight on job. (and then a spray over later on)
so no caddy stuff this weekend

Re: messed up weekend

I doubt the post place will pay out compensation due to the lack of protective packaging
I've given him until tueday to come up with an answer then I'll start a Paypal dispute.

Re: messed up weekend
I had a Golf bumper up fo sale and refused to post for this very reason.
You can't imagine how hard it is to find a box of the right size.
I auctioned mine collection only but the guy who bought it insisted on courier. Basically, I left it in his hands, I took photos to prove it was un marked then wrapped it in bubble wrap and corrugated cardboard then all I had to do was leave it down the side of my house on a certain day.
UPS picked it up and luckily it arrived unmarked but I had piece of mind as I left the delivery up to the buyer.

Re: messed up weekend
I send bumpers by mail order regularly and it's a simple thing to get a box, just go to your local bodyshop., they'll have loads of them kicking around and will normally be glad for someone to take it away.
I have to say that I think that bumper may have left the seller like that, it's a lot of damage even for the royal mail to do.
