Hi Dennis, I just got home from work earlier this evening and my kids told me that the boat arrived this afternoon. Well, Dennis we have a problem. My friend is not very happy with the boat. You told me that all we needed to run the boat was a motor and esc and everything needed to get it running was included with the purchase price. But there are parts missing like the custom collet that you mentioned was included, a receiver clearly you could see it in the pictures but I told him that you probably just forgot to pack it with the boat. Dennis, I don't know if you or someone else packed the boat for you but the boat was packed very poorly with very little packing materials inside to protect it. There are no stickers or anything written to indicate the contents was fragile and to point which side is up. Also, the box was L 47" X W 11 1/4" X H 5 1/2 when the boat's dimensions are L 45" X W 11" X H 5". Because of this the stern has sustained severe damages where not only is it cracked but pieces of the wood on the right side has broken off. He had me take pictures of the box before we even opened it because there are holes on the bottom of the box and the prop shaft punctured a hole through the box and was sticking out with the propeller still attached to it. I wanted to see the pictures and the descriptions you had posted for comparison but you have deleted it which I don't understand. It is past 1am and I'm very tired. He just left after expressing he is not happy because he is not getting what he paid for and as you stated, everything was included but the motor and the esc. Just put a motor and esc in and the boat is ready to go. You listed the boat could be purchased RTR or ATR without the motor and esc and servo. We agreed just the motor and esc not to be included. So I totally understand his point of view. He told me what he wants to do but I told him I thought you seem to be a nice guy when I spoke to you. Man, I really didn't want to be in the middle of this but like I said his english is very very limited. So I said not to worry I'll talk to you and I'll pm you and send you the pictures and hopefully we will work this out. I know I have to post any discussion other than private info on the forum so I don't know if I still have to post the pictures here on the forum per OSE rules. I'll wait til tomorrow, perhaps someone will jump in and tell me the rules so I don't break them even though the transaction for the purchase for this boat is completed.
I don't think so but I have the shipping label at home. I'm working 'til 8pm. I'll check again when I get home. I thought for sure Dennis would have contacted me already but he hasn't. I have to get back to work. Jim let me know what I need to do here. . . .do I post the pics here or send it pm to Dennis?
the carrier is FedEx and I pm'd you how poorly it was packed in a box barely bigger than the boat with very little protection to ensure safe travel.. .all documented with pictures.
Ship it back to me, I'll refund the cost of boat and your shipping. Thanks. I am really not sure what else to say here, the shipping damage was mostly out of my hands. I should have packaged it better, but the box and packing is what we use for our hulls all the time with no damage at all. No idea what happened to be honest. And the missing items, well, the way I saw it was that we had agreed it was a bare hull plus hardware, but collets are part of motor, so I was not sure you'd even expect that as you mentioned nothing about it. But that would be an easy thing to fix, I'd have no problem shipping you the collet. As for the receiver, that was not mentioned anywhere in the included items list. No one sends their receivers with the boat unless it is stated so in the listing. And the reason I removed the pictures is because I thought the thread was done and over with. But please just pack it up and ship back to me. Once I receive it I will deal with Fedex myself. I will refund you the full cost of boat and shipping. The shipping should be around $25-30.
