Michigan NOS Mopar tinted window kit

And because someone has reacted to your comment about ignoring a claim (that didn't hit my inbox until 50 minutes after the comment) I'll post the damage you're claiming. Which is 4 days after you received it.
I will not be made out to look like a bad member of this community.

I have no judgement. I am not "claiming" that damage, it is damage, it is there and you caused it due to your lack of packaging.
Others can arrive at their own opinions as to what kind of a seller you are. But, since you want to do it this way, fine. The 4 days after bullshit is just that. I sent over pics as soon as I got them, they were not good enough and I related that I would send better ones as soon as I got them which I did. To clear up the rest of the confusion since you seem intent on trying to be blameless in this situation. I purchased these as a gift for one of my friends who lives far enough away that he can only get here on the weekends. When the parts arrived, I set them to the side to wait until the weekend for him to pick them up. He did and then took them home to install them. Only after that interval and his bad pics did I get in touch very nicely.

He stores the rig in a container and flies out each week for work so he isn't home. He said he would get me a pic where both of us could see the damage upon his return when he could get the rig out of the container to get far enough away from it to show what was going and as soon as I got the pic, I sent it over. However, you were notified of an issue as soon as we knew about it.

I am not making you out to look like anything. Your actions and how you deal with this are the only criteria that defines how you are viewed here.

You didn't like my offer to swap out the bad one for a good one and let me pay shipping both ways and clearly said that was not going to happen, so that left me two choices. Try a remedy through PayPal or accept a damaged window at full price. You left out that the dispute is only for one window.

The dispute does not say for one window. It is a dispute for the purchase.
There is no way that I will accept a return a week later after it has been mounted. I don't know where the root cause of "damage" is. As far as I know you could have opened it with a box cutter.
We finally agree on something. My actions determine my character which is why I have no problem airing this out. Kept a secret makes it look like I have something to hide which I absolutely do not.
It was 4 days after you sent me that the package arrived that you sent pictures that appear to be a quarter inch away from a damaged spot. So that is in fact not bullshit.

I can't help what they do, I put in the amount of 250 for one window.

And this is why we are here.

You are doing a fine job of showing folks who you are.

Which is bullshit that I took my buddy to task for. In fact I asked him for pics of something other than at the microscopic level and gave him shit for being a goober. Those pics did nothing for anyone except to alert you at the earliest possible moment that there was an issue that needed to be addressed that would be addressed on our end properly when he could get the rig out of the container to be able to get far enough away to get us something useful. I followed through as I said I would when he sent them over. All I can do on this end.

You should be honest there. Post up your reply to my suggestion about the return or I will. There was no indication from you about accepting any returns whatsoever regardless of time frame.

This is correct, you did tell him to take a better picture.
The first set of pics was 4 days after the day of receipt, the full picture was 10 days after.

You presented yourself like you wanted another set. I wanted to deal on a second set so we wouldn't have to go through this
I am not a business. I do not have a storefront, this is sitting in my house. I'm not going to bring more back in, especially if I don't know what happened. I was trying to be polite and not accuse you/your friend of damaging anything but you wanted public so post anything you want.

You keep saying that like it matters, so I will address it yet again. My buddy lives a few towns away from me. He can only get here on the weekends. He works out of State. He leaves during the week and then flies back home. He picked up the unopened box of windows on the weekend, took them home and installed them. He took the pic in the container which was too close to do any good. He had to fly out and upon his return the NEXT weekend, he sent me the good picture after he pulled the rig out of the container. None of that changes the poor packaging and the damage incurred due to that.

There is only one thing on here that everyone knows. I don't lie about anything ever. I presented as wanting another set because we do/did. Your assertion that we should then spend 1100 dollars to get back 75 was never going to fly so there is that.

I was charging 500 a set.
I offered 100 off.
You decided on next day air so a high shipping cost is frankly your choosing.

Can you honestly say that the damage (that you're alleging is from packaging not shipping and handling) is worth 250 dollars?

 

[cdbuonco]

Can you honestly say that the damage (that you're alleging is from packaging not shipping and handling) is worth 250 dollars?

And not the 100 off another set that I had offered?

 

[mrblaine]

Can you honestly say that the damage (that you're alleging is from packaging not shipping and handling) is worth 250 dollars?

I can 100% honestly say that I paid for new, I expect new, and that's what I should get since no one ever expects NIB to be other than that, new and undamaged. Also why I offered to swap you my damaged one for one that isn't and I'd pay shipping for both ways.

 

[mrblaine]

And not the 100 off another set that I had offered?

Your initial offer.

Then you did this with a level of irrelevancy that has zero to do with solving my problem, so we were done at that point even with the 100 dollar offer because I don't care how many you do or don't have or how many you want on hand. None of that changes my problem and the possible solutions.

I'm going to guess you don't know much about shipping costs. My cost for Next Day is roughly your cost for conventional. The price for shipping is very close to the same either way and that is of no consequence for the purposes of this discussion. You didn't include shipping in the price so there will be some burden there and whether that is 20 bucks or 50 bucks, it still has to be accounted for twice.

That was in response to you saying you were not included to pay full price on 2 sets. That implies that you wanted a discount applied on the second set. Thus the response.

I know nothing about your shipping costs. I assumed that's how you turned 900 into 1100. Must have just been magic then.

I understand that, but everything has a value. You're saying that there is 250 dollars worth of damage on that window.

This exchange is unreal. Anyone that has dealt with Blaine knows a couple things. He never lies, ever, even if he has to eat an entire crow. And he is so generous with his time, effort, knowledge, work etc. that it's stunning. To have him screwed over by you in incredible and then you try and put it back on him as if he's being unfair.

Douche on good sir. Douche on.

I'm glad you've had a good experience.
