Tom Geiger Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 They weren't packed very well, but the box they were shipped looked like somebody used it for a game of kickball ... and that's usually beyond the shipper's control. This year I got a Heller Citroen Borden milk truck on eBay. The seller put it in a USPS Priority box and mailed it to me. It arrived with a hole punched in the front, straight through the front of the model box inside. Looked like someone put a bullet in it. Can I blame the seller? No. Model was intact, so I built it.

I am working with the individual who shipped it as we speak to expedite the claim I filed with UPS. I'm serious, the box looked like it was kicked all the way from IL.

Tom Geiger Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Hey Tom. Is there a photo or two floating around here somewhere of that milk truck ? Floating is a good description. There is a build thread on this vehicle, but Fotki is in a transition and the photos that are hosted there aren't visible at this time... The http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=71527&hl= I still have work to do on it. It is a very nice kit, but fiddly like early Revell kits. The body builds up from several flat panels and I'm having issues getting it all square. Right now it's built onto the frame and fender unit, but I cannot get the rear doors to fit correctly.

Never assumed you were blaming the shipper, It's obvious from your photos that they delivered an intact package to UPS. Hopefully they'll pay the damages. I had issues with USPS with another eBay purchase that they destroyed. To file claim I had to deliver the package to the post office. They denied my claim because the shipper didn't use a new box. Never mind that it was a sturdy hard box that they crushed, their defense was that a box is only good for shipping ONCE and it must've structurally failed! Not their fault that it looked like a vehicle had run it over! Good luck to ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like they put a heavy box on top of this one. I have friends that worked for UPS , they say boxes are thrown more than we know.

Deano Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 What did I get today? A box from a seller on eBay! "Ohboyohboy! My stuff is here!" WRONG! Someone else's stuff is here; I don't know where mine is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadkill2525 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Got some decals in the mail today and been getting a few sets of wheels to over the last few weeks.......... Danno must be so jealous of your haul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Danno must be so jealous of your haul. :lol: I thought the same thing when I saw that picture. Now there are decals to build 17 General Lees... That would be a nice bunch of them in the display cabinet. I got these a while ago from Teds Modeling Marketplace. Great stuff and great place to deal with, cheap shipping ($10 from Florida to Finland) and great service. I highly recommend this place.

2000-cvpi Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I went to both of my area Hobby Lobby stores and found these tire sets instead of the regular sets that they carry. I bought all for that were in stock and used the 40% coupon as well. Grand total with tax 20.32, not to shabby. Hobby Town U.S.A. wanted 17.99 for one set.

ToyLvr Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Got this one a few days ago, but just getting around to snapping some pix so that I can post it . AMT '65 Chevy Impala, original. Apparently the builder tried to use just about all of the kit's custom parts! Looks like another "survivor" for my little museum at home.

jrherald420 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 My Hobby Lobby had a few hundred cans of spray paint for 40% off and a bunch of airbrush paints for 70% off. I ended up with only 1 can of paint and 2 bottles of airbrush paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
