I'll hit you up on a PM with my info, but I am not in a hurry. Take your time and get the BERKS installed first.

did u guys get nuts and bolts and gaskets? i had a gapping hole in my box and a big empty void in it, possibly where the nuts and bolts were placed?

i agree packing needs to be better, the edge of my muffler flange got minor damage during shipping, but thats probably what ripped the box open.

i didn't unwrap each part yet so i don't know what other damage(s) there might be

Gaskets/nuts/bolts/etc were in a baggy, but removed from their intended, protective bag.

Well some of his points are UPS (they suck), why did they send us a BMW poster (?), and I am not expert on welds but they look good to me.

Isn't Berk in charge of the actual packaging before shipment? How can one box be with paper, another be packed with Styrofoam peanuts, and my box only have the thinnest possible bubble wrap?

I'll take some pictures of the welds I'm talking about, perhaps I'm not accurately describing what I'm seeing.

Damn Mattie I wish you had taken pics of the condition of the box upon delivery.

I guess when someone says 'free shipping', it should be taken with a grain of salt.

Me and the UPS guy had a long talk. I was signing until I made sure everything was okay.

Here are a few pics of the box (resting on top of my VW!).

And here's a quick example of a weld that doesn't look so good to me. By all means, if this is a great weld, let me know. Maybe I'm a just a "noob" when it comes to metal work!

I see no pictures.

yeah, wheres the pics?

theDreamer · 03-09-2010, 08:34 PM

Yep, your box looks a bit worse than mine.
Similar hole and the upper parts of the box look smashed inward like mine was but mine was not that extreme. On the welds I am no expert either.

That box is disgusting. If it was outside my door, I'd mistake it for garbage. Welds seem ok, but I'm not metallurgist.
