Old gas members,
Can you guys help me out? Do you feel a seller is responsible to any degree if an item shipped arrives damaged due to faulty crating ? This guy 'Indiananational' used a couple dozen small white 4inch zip ties to secure 1/2 inch plywood together for a 60' round lion sign purchased, I suggested he use screws. Sign arrived with a major crease/bend…All zip ties were broken off and plywood completely separated. I did not put additional insurance on it, do to it condition and thinking the wood crating was sufficient. HE CLAIMS IT NOT HIS PROBLEM, ITS MINE……I feel he should step up to the plate and reimburse me some dollars.
Thanks for your feedback!!!!!!!!!
David

David I concur 100%. In situations like this and I have had 2, OGers fell over themselves to credit the damage back to me in some fashion. There was no back and forth. All major businesses will do the same with damaged goods. This on casts a bad light on your business practices.

 ...I guess this is what it looked like 'before' shipping - I think you should post pics of the 'after', as well as the shipping materials...

The SELLER is ALWAYS responsible because it was he that packaged it! Do a half baked flimsy job and you're asking for problems. If you're going to sell ANYTHING and mail it to the buyer, you need to do an adequate job of packing it!
Insurance is for that rare problem with unforeseen circumstances that destroys the article. It is not intended to protect the package.
indiananationals is responsible!

but why would i be responsible if he set it up ...because you PACKED the item! Zip ties aren't made to hold things with metal edges in place, because they are easily cut... RULE #1 - always pack an item as you would want it packed, if you had bought it and the seller was sending it to you...
