Only problem is, when you file your claim, the USPS will take your FFF as part of the claim and after about 6 weeks, you may get a refund if and only if it was filled out correctly and they honor in your favor.

Another problem is, I'm not making any new FFF for awhile.

Good Luck!

BTW, sorry to hear about the damage.

Exact same thing happened to me, got a used FFF broken in half by DHL.

Shipping companies suck. I just got FedEx to replace two wheels that they LOST (out of 4!) but the claims process took 9 weeks.

And UPS has jacked up more packages than I can count...

I had a buddy who worked for the Post Office. Whenever he got a piece of mail that said "do not bend", he would bend it and say "yes it does". I hate shipping stuff!

if your interested in getting the xB, you must learn the xB lingo, LOL.

FFF = Front Face Finisher. Its a sort of grill that has the eyelids built in. It stretches across the whole front of the car. Search and you will find a pic.

Actually, I've been selling alot of them recently. They've been selling pretty much by pre-sales as they sell out faster then I can make.

Currently I have a few unspoken for but still need to be trimmed and sanded.

Now back to shipping, recently I've had much trouble with UPS. No matter what I do to my boxes, they just get them and bend the hell out of them. End result is a damaged FFF. At this point now, I am going to place wood sides in the box to prevent the box from bending. The end result, higher shipping cost due to the materials and shipping weight. It's bad enough they charge for a oversize box of $30.00 for a 3 lb. package.
