if it fits it ships.....

Well I got my tb converter today and let’s just say I’m not impressed at all with what the post office employee left on the front porch. I don’t know if they beat the shit out of things because they are pissed about mail delivery going down to 5 days a week or the shutting down of post offices, alls I know is I’m done using any of there shipping survives. I also plan on contacting the sender and asking why they didn’t pack it better.

“if it fits it ships…..”

See if you would have used a good company like Circle D this wouldn't have happened. :ugh2:

Thanks for putting salt in a open wound skeet

Who did you buy it from?

Never mind. I see in your other thread where it came from.

Well after emailing the seller then watching B horror movies and going to bed I feel better. This morning when I got up I hade a email in my inbox from the seller Saying:
I am sorry that your converter arrived in ripped off box.
This is the first time my converter arrived in ripped box as shown since I started using USPS 8 months ago. Please return the box to your local USPS station, tell them to "RETURN TO SENDER" so that they don't charge any fee, due to mishandling by USPS. As soon as I get the package, I can either send out replacement using UPS or give you full refund.
Sorry again for any trouble


So it’s good that he’s trying to make good. Now my question “how do I know if the converter is ok?” due to time restraints I’m considering installing it, manly due to the fact that the seller has a one year/10k mile free replacement policy and I can at least get my truck back on the road.
After looking the converter over it doesn’t have any cracks or scratches on the input housing what other things should I look for before I make the call on running it or not?

The only thing I would be worried about, regardless of the warranty, is the fact that if the converter goes out it may trash your tranny as well.

Would you install a converter that you threw with no packaging into about 20 different trucks, stacked tons of crap on top of, and hit with a sledge hammer a few times? Cause that is milder than what happens to a package during shipping.
Not worth blowing a trans over a bashed up converter.

good call guys, more time off the road now saves a lot of time later

i deal with fed ex, ups, and usps, everyday, these guys are not careful at all with packages, even ones that say fragile are all smashed, the reason they get so messed up is because no matter how many packages they have, if its 20 or 1 ,they get the same amount of time to get thier deliveries done. So make sure there is a ton of tape and bubble paper used everytime.

I was a facilities coordinator for a software company in a former life, so I had to deal with all of our shipping and receiving. I distinctly remember a particular incident during Christmas time when I had to drop off our company mail at the local P.O. The gentleman in the warehouse who took the mail from me was also sorting bulky boxed items into several large cargo bins. He would grab a box from the incoming packages bin, then proceed to hurl said box approximately 20-30 feet into the corresponding bin for delivery. I will never send anything I truly care about through the USPS. Good luck

Chances are if that man could throw a 43 lbs torque converter 20-30 feet I wouldn’t call him on it anyway:LOL:

:lol: True dat bro. Im sure the cargo he was chucking didnt get anywhere near that weight tho

ok here’s were it ends. After contacting the seller and sending a pic of how the box came in, I was told by them to send it back (and by Silverado efishendos of this sit). Before I sent it back I told the seller I needed it by the 26th, He told me as long as I could show that I sent the badly pack tq back he would put another one in the mail that day. The 26th rolled around and at 5 pm I got a nock on the door from the friendly ups guy. Let me just say it was a night and day difference in the packing and condition of the box. so after installing the tq today and driving the truck (and locking and unlocking the tq around 100 times) the difference is amazing. Dollar for dollar this is the best upgrade I have done on my truck at this point and for 135$$ its amazing. I highly recommend it for people how are running a oem cam or nothing big

Glad it worked out good for you.

thanks man
