So I hunt for a Jungle King Bezel for over a year. A forum member has one, asks a lot for it ($100 shipped), I make a respectable counter-offer ($75 shipped), he disappears like a typical little KLOV weasel. I keep looking. Find another one a few months later, it's as flaked as mine, so I pass. I see a nice one on eBay due to a thread here, I bid, I win it for $30 shipped. I wait 3 weeks for it to be shipped to me (it's only coming from Wisconsin BTB). It finally shows up today -

-in a million pieces. I am pissed. I paid for the insurance, so now I need to know what to do to get my claim started. I sent the seller an email already. He charges me $20 shipping w/ins and then proceeds to ship it between two bent pieces of cardboard and nothing else. To add insult to injury, he shipped it parcel post. WTF is wrong with people? Now I need to file a claim and I am STILL looking for a nice Jungle King glass. I hate.
 
Wow, that is astonishingly irresponsible.

Should have sandwiched it between two sheets of masonite with padding.

Cost to ship properly w/ins should have been closer to 40 bucks, not 20.

Another glass bezel blown to heck.

I have shipped 3 glass bezels and never had a problem. I did use FedEx and marked the package FRAGILE - GLASS. Other then that I have a nice sturdy cardboard shipper folded in half. When I place the glass in there I make sure it has 4 folded pieces of sturdy cardboard folded in half and cover each edge of the glass with it. Sort of makes it "float" in my cardboard shipper.

That is how it should be done, and I have shipped them for closer to 20 via FedEx. Sounds to me like the seller needs a swift kick to the nuts.

I tell ya Phet - I'm about sick of all the people here that pull that sh(i)t. It's also like trying to deal with someone that tells you they'll send pictures. You wait 3 days then ping them with a friendly reminder. They hang it out there another week or so then reply, "Sorry was busy". Really ..... hmmmmm. Busy but yet you've posted multiple times just about every day??? (A)ssholes.
I'm to the point that if a KLOV'er can't produce pics or a set schedule to make something happen within 3 days I'm done. Too many games and parts out there to waste your time on a lazy tool.

Sorry for the rant - and I feel for you brutha
 
I feel you brutha

You're right it is your choice - but the right thing to do is to kindly refuse the offer not just ignore it.
How about, "I appreciate the offer but I'm firm on the asking price. Good luck on your hunt!"

Hey, this isn't the FS forum! What are you doing here? BTB, 'your choice' is fine, but let a motherfucker know what's up. $100 shipped is pretty steep no matter who you are.

This could be the greatest post I have ever read.

That is crazy, I picked up a Molex crimper handtool a few months back and it came an oversized box (about a foot square) and stuffed full of peanuts. I almost couldn't find the crimper in there.

I took a picture of it, I'll have to find it when I get home.

You....you....you.........weasel!;)

dont ya love that not only you can only file a claim for the amount paid, so your out your shipping because the asshole shipped it with just enough wrapping to get the post office to take it, you cant even leave negative feedback because of eBays policys. Also can leave any negative comments under positive or theyll just remove it.

I dont know, see if you can file a paypal claim for the full amount, not recieved as described. send it back in a coffee can:D
 
I feel your pain too Phet. I have had two cherry Dig Dug marquees that I have bought off of eBay end up on my doorstep in the same condition.

Here is the first.....

And the second.....

In the end, I was out whatever I paid. No insurance and the sellers could have given a rat's ass what condition the ended up in. I should have filed a Paypal dispute, but never did because I am a big pussy and didn't really want to deal with the backlash. I am still looking for a Dig Dug marquee, but those are much easier to come by then a Jungle King bezel....
 
It's too bad we all don't have the time an energy, to take pictures of the items we buy that end up arriving broke, and repost them back up for sale with a story about who shipped them and how they arrived. (maybe we need a new forum for this)

You could post your Jungle King Marquee with pictures of all the shards of glass and the packing that it came in, and say, "it looks like it only needs a little super glue". $3 plus shipping with original packing material.

Bought the one from QuarterArcade. Filed a paypal dispute on the eBay one. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that these guys fucked up with packing this thing. This isn't the Post Office's fault, it's theirs. Bring on the backlash. I fear no retailer.
