Hi Jim,   The general rule on truck deliveries is that you have to be there to receive the order and inspect it for shipping damage in the presence of the driver. If it is damaged, it should either go right back on the truck, or at the very least, the driver should sign off saying that it was damaged prior to delivery. Most companies won’t take a panel back after the driver leaves, because at that point it becomes your word against the driver's, and of course the driver is going to say that it was not his/her fault.   John Nasta       -----Original Message-----     I didn't order from CARS but did from a California company. They shipped two quarters to me in one box. One showed up in good shape. The other showed up with dents and dings, etc. I called them and told them that the one damaged quarter was damaged before it was shipped and they said, that was unlikely but ship it back anyway. I was to pay the shipping cost though. Heck, It cost more to ship the one quarter then the two quarters cost. I still have the quarter sitting in my garage. Not sure what I'm going to do with it. So..... if you can drive to the place your going to buy it and inspect it before you purchase it, that is the way to go. After my California experience, I found out there was a place close to home that sold sheet metal (300 miles away) I made the trip and got a good quarter. Once again. School of Hard Knocks. :) Good Luck. Jim
