jnjdragracing Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hey guys, I was involved in a transaction from the internet. Purchased an intercooler from a guy, kind of a risky transaction. I sent him majority of the money plus the shipping cost and asked him to insure it. Got the intercooler, called him back to arrange for the rest of money to be send. Told them I would be sending it today. He called back and wanted it now because they were leaving town. I said no way until I get it pressure checked. Brought to my machinest he did a vaccum check 1st, did not hold vaccum. Then he did a pressure check 5lbs of air and the core had a hole in it. Called the guy, left him a message to call me about the finding etc. Never heard back from him. Checked my email and he said I was trying to scam him because he had it tested. Claims it must of been damaged in shipping. When I unpacked it, there is no way in hell it was damaged. Now he emailed me and said he called UPS and they will be sending an agen out to pick it up for inspection. Now for my question: If I release it to UPS for inspection, after they are through do I get it back? Do I get the insurance money since I paid for it? My problem is I do not want the insurance money if any or the intercooler to be shipped back to him with out getting my money back. Has anyone on this site had dealings with UPS and how do they handle this? Thanks.... John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Call UPS to be sure. I think if you listed him as the sender then any check would get issued to him. If they determine that the damage wasn't caused in shipping then they won't issue any refund, and in the past I'd say the companies I worked for had a 50/50 shot of getting damaged merchandise back from UPS, so it's definitely not a sure thing, and in those cases it goes back to the shipper.

RB26powered74zcar Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I think if you listed him as the sender then any check would get issued to him. Yea, please keep this in mind, its true. If you don't trust him, watch out, he may end up with your first payment, the insurance money, and maybe the I/C.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
