I got mine from Evodave, no damage. Did you wrong the UPS guy? Maybe date his sister? If you want mine I'll sell it to you and send it FedEx. Heck if you live close, I'll even deliver it,.... so long as you didn't date my sister.

ups guys messed mine up something good too. i hate those shipping companies. MOST packages i get from them are damaged in one way or another.

it took me about a month and a half to get it all sorted out with ups. good luck with that.

I work for UPS, and just a word for the wise, make sure you are using newer boxes that haven't been shipped several times, and have at least 1-inch of packing material around the items in the box. We don't damage packages on purpose, the most common reason is due to a heavier box being loaded on top of your's. And, never get mad at the driver. They don't load their trucks and trust me, they hate getting damages parcels as much as you hate seeing your box show up all jacked up. I ship at least one package a week for my buisness, and luckily have had great sucess. Just wish I got a disscount

Me too. That's why I have an account with them I've gotten too many damaged packages from UPS. However, on a different note, my UPS delivery guy is cool and is also into modding cars
