A few days ago I scored a NOS set of rocker trim panels off of Ebay for my 390 for a great price. They arrived today and were both bent waaaaay beyond repair.
what carrier did the seller ship them? didnt he make so they couldnt be bent over? certains parts should be shipped with a peice of 1x4 for such just reason or in a pcv pipe .
That would truly be a bummer! :'( MY experience with USPS is they can break an anvil, mess up a junk yard or screw up a wet dream. I would NEVER trust them to ship ANYTHING of ANY value.

P.S. Sorry if my comments offend anyone, as that is not my intent. Just my opinion on the subject.

BUMMER! I bought an overhead console and it came bent too..but I was able to bend it back without damaging it more.

If they weren`t bent when the seller sent them to you, get a statement from him and have USPS pay you for the damage. It might work. All you can do is try.
I have been up this road a bunch of times. Nothing in the auction said anything about insurance and the usps label was only for $10.65. I did however paid exactly what the seller instructed me to pay for shipping $18.35.
I think this one will work out. I am really bummed about not getting the NOS rocker panel moldings.
I ship every day with UPS, save the tube,contact the seller to put in a claim.Every item shipped is insured for 100.00 dollars at no cost, for every 100.00 more it cost about 35 cents.For such a small claim UPs will probably pay the shipper,who in turn will have to pay you,hopefully.Good luck Doug
Clarify: Every item is insured up to 100.00. If its worth 20.00, you get back 20.00,not 100.00.Also request your shipping money to be refunded,you paid for a reliable service, which they did not provide
OH, that changes everything.That will probably be real hard to get anything.Sorry I thought it was UPS.I find UPS better than post office.If there is a choice I would take UPS in the future. Good Luck Doug
Can you take a pic of the damage? I reworked my messed up rocker mouldings with my english wheel and friction wheel(to shrink the metal) until they where perfect.
