Oh thanks UPS
So I bought some window visors from a dude in California. And I guess UPS hates long boxes that shouldn't be bent at all. So they crushed it and broke one of my rear visors into a bunch of pieces. What would be the best chemical agent to piece it together? I was thinking of some sort of epoxy but idk

Naw, dude had them wrapped in multiple layers of bubble wrap. It was only 45 bucks too and they are a used product, I'm just happy it was one of the rear ones lol and not a front one.

Re: Oh thanks UPS
depends on the plastic but I think that 2 part epoxy will work for you. In the future fragile stuff should get insurance man. See 0:30-2:45 for reference. Good luck with the repairs.

Re: Oh thanks UPS
Hopefully they're still available and you can get reimbursed the value of a new part. I had to go through all of this with Christmas presents this year, and last year, and.. I'm seeing a pattern here..
A few years back they folded my fishing rod tube in half when shipping my rods back from vacation. Couldn't really tell until I pulled out the rod socks and they were filled with carbon matchsticks. I lost 4 custom rods (I built) and 2 purchased rods. That really sucked. Didn't even notice the crease in the rod tube, maybe someone at UPS did some damage mitigation and did some work on it, who knows.

You said multiple layers of bubble wrap, it definitely sounds like it was packaged correctly. Additionally, if there is any damage to the outside of the box, UPS is at fault. I handle claims at a UPS store. Filing will be worth your time.

Re: Oh thanks UPS
Would I just goto the local store with the packaging and broken visor?
