I ordered some rims from wheelmax.com which i was suppose to receive on 8/4 but was rescheduled twice to 8/8 which I still dont know why and this is the condition it came in.Can you believe it?I dont know whos to blame, UPS or the company? but it was a miracle there was no damage that i noticed.What was even more funny was one box was completely open like someone opened it.One of my friends told me it looks like they just came out of a dumpster.that was funny i had to admit .




"Hey ma, look wut i found at the local dumpster!"


Can you believe the last two pics??!?!?!?



Well anyways ill post some pics once I install my springs

Unbelievable! I ordered wheels and tires from Tirerack years ago and they came without boxes but had thick cardboard and padding on each side and those plastic straps, 8 of them holding the whole thing together. Just the outer tire rubber was showing. They were very well packaged. Now I know why Wheelmax has such cheap prices.

Reminder to self, " don't buy from wheelmax.com"

I'm not suprised. That's whyI don't use UPS to ship anything. Everytime I get packages from them they look like that .

Looks like they were trying to roll them around even though the box is SQUARE.

Stupid hippies.

Glad to hear they were not damaged though. :D

Blame UPS, but also blame the packaging. Single walled box with one tape? I use UPS, but I don't package like that. That heavy, I even use straps.

I went to an interview for UPS here in Phoenix. Let me tell you it was a disappointment. I will never work for a company that allows employees to throw boxes around and encourage them to work too fast for their own good. They do it to themselves. I believe UPS is going down hill with all the promises they are making to people. They have the same fleet they've had, yet they have too much to do. They should slow down and do things properly or else they will be spending more money for damage claims than making it.

UPS isn't that bad, even though they lost two of my wheels. I've never had a mangled box delivered by UPS. Also, the only Miami-based wheel shop I'd recommend would be Edge Racing. I've heard a lot of bad things about Wheel Max. And looking at the packaging, it looks like Wheel Max should be blamed for it.
