Dan,
Since the item was also painted, I know UNITED packaged the item before shipping. Like I told you, your response is disappointing. I guess for UNITED sending rocker panels in a plastic bag in a box with no bubble wrap, shipping foam is acceptable but other vendors don't agree because they have done the above and I have had no problems with shipping damage. The reason these vendors do this? CUSTOMER SERVICE

I have no problems ordering items from your company Dan, I just won't order anything like rocker panels etc. that may/will sustain damage during shipping because it does not look like the shipping packaging has changed....

I listen to my customers when it comes to packaging, as it's not only a disappointment for the customer, but a hassle for me. The rocker panels housed in the box came back as passed from FedEx, so in the rare event that there was a damage they would claim it. There was only one damage out of about thirty, and unluckily that was yours and I apologize that it happened to you. However, it's not possible to claim a package when it has been installed. The box had two white shipping foams on each end. I don't have a problem standing up for the customer against a shipper. Thank you and it's a shame it has come to you being disappointed and me with nothing that can be done about it.

Also thanks to Tischer BMW for standing up for us!
