Be warned of this seller, biginkdot, as this could happen to you. Won this item on ebay:
1988 X 19 GHOST RIDER - eBay (item 330304050459 end time Jan-31-09 18:17:16 PST)
The item was extremely poorly packed by the seller, in such a way that without a doubt the seller did not expect the item to survive transit. It appeared to have once been wrapped in a thin layer of wrap paper, no bubble wrap, or extra padding, just a measly layer, this item was then placed in a horrible, thin, cramped box that clearly had poor foundations, not meant to ship anything of real value, then taped up with useless non latching tape with just a few strips here and there.
I don't know if this shite packing job was done to spite me for winning the item so cheap, or if maybe I was simply just unlucky winner 229, and everyone else gets treated like a king on their pack jobs, who knows??? Upon delivery the box end was opened as you can see in the pic.
Infact, the end of the box was just a piece of cardboard folded to make a end maybe, and stuck in there and just taped with a strip of tape or two to hold it in it seems, and the tape came off during transit since it had no stickiness. Even the ship label was peeling off due to the tape sucking so bad. You will see this in the pics.
Since the tape was cheap and did not stick to cardboard, and was used so sparingly, the package came open during transit prob once at every hub Ill bet.The lid/end of the box fell out as I was taking pics even, along with a few parts, so I nabbed a pic of the front of the busted X-19 too. I wonder just how many times this X-19 fell out of the package during transit??? The wrap paper, I mean, it wasn't even totally wrapped around the jet when it was delivered, so you could tell USPS had just shoved it back in with no care.
I started to pull it out, seen the exhaust area was stuck up, said screw it. I knew I was going to have to return this and file a claim. I just shoved the parts back in and the end back on the box ( prob the exact same way USPS did it during transit) and left right away with the package in tow.
I have taken the package back to USPS and refused acceptance. A clerk and myself both inspected it there in full per USPS request, only to find the nose cone was indeed missing, the item was scuffed and scratched near that area, parts had all been knocked off, landing gear was stuck, and the exhaust area was indeed stuck. The clerk fiddled with it for a few in a sad attempt at hoping he could find a reason to get me to accept the package, tried to stick the windshield piece back on the front, failed, and requested I put it all back in the box while he went to go speak to the Post Master.
I expressed disdain for the postal delivery man not asking me upon delivery if I was willing to accept the package in its clearly abused form, nor given a chance to inspect it when it was delivered. And what should hurt USPS most, even though I know it doesn't, was the fact that at any given point during transit when they had seen the box coming open, they could have just taped it themselves just for the sake of good customer service.
After all,they want to keep raising rates and cut a delivery day, why cant they go the extra mile to earn the money we pay them then??? But then again its their service the beat the package soundly too.....
I see this as both the fault of the seller, biginkdot, mostly, and USPS, partially to some degree. Also should be noted this item during transit got labeled as mis-sent on the tracking info, and delayed in delivery.... I have filed a claim with Paypal requesting a refund in full, and emailed pics of the package and a pic of my scanned refusal receipt USPS issued me.
