Anyone here work for UPS? I'd love to show them these threads and get a response from the Brown-Doodoo

It still could have been packed better too.... just saying. We all know that shipping companies like to beat up all the packages...

sorry dude for your luck, they will most likely fix it for you though

Box was packed great lots of paper and 2 layers of bubble wrap, and the bolt bag was taped to the muffler all of this done before last wednesday so they were on it.

Sounds like we all had a big whole in the side of the box. Glad your exhaust arrived OK and you received all the correct parts. At least I made you look

Any word from Berk?

In an attempt to end this thread and focus on the legit Berk threads, my exhaust was installed today withy no issues, everything lines up perfectly. OP's issue is with UPS and their disregard for the products that keep them in business.

^^ thought op's issue was with Berk shipping the wrong part?
in my case, it's possible that either it was shipped already bent or it was damaged during shipping.

Yeah Steve, Berk sent him two driver's side resonators. Berk is still on the hook.

Indeed, my exhaust arrived undamaged (as far as I can tell, without installing it completely) but it did arrive with 2 driver side resonator pipes instead of a drivers side one and a passenger side one... I trust Berk will correct this error swiftly, but so far I didn't hear back from them. (e-mailed on Saturday and called today) Granted, the parts I did received looked great, but I won't be happy until the complete exhaust is on my car, lined up nicely and sounding as I expect it will...

Every manufacturer screws up now and then, and what makes a company great is how well it handles its mistakes. I'm sure Berk will step up to the plate and make things right.

On a related note, a well known forum sponsor (known for their great products and quality) sent me a completely screwed up exhaust. Just goes to show, it happens to the best of us.

Don't put it on UPS. I have been shipping for my business with them for four and a half years, usually 10 shipments per week and never had any issues. Its probably in the packaging.

Again, JB's issue was never UPS related.

g96818 · 03-15-2010, 11:30 PM

No worries, my only objective was to warn other Berk CBE owners to check their exhaust before installing. I hope you get your exhaust issues solved ASAP! I am sure it will sound great once all is done...
