so i wake up this morning to the awesome sound of ups with my dasa 850 i have been waiting for i grab it n bring it inside open her up and guess what!


im so pissed right now,this just happend to me 2 weeks ago with a 62t case i got it was broken too(i still havnt gotten refund)
im worried what if it messed it up internally?what if crank or seals goes out sooner because of this?i dont know what to do???try to send back n get engine somewhere else?or jus hope n pray n put my new couplers on it?

 

[Matt_E]

That sucks.
If it was insured for the full amount, I'd talk to UPS (and expect nothing)

 

[engineman44]

ouch

 

[tightithrash]

Those couplers suck any way. Get some cold-fusion ones that are kawi style so less rotational mass and the sexy factor to match that motor and turn that frown upside down.

 

[westin427]

i already have cold fusion couplers.

im jus worried that's alot of weight to land on just the coupler which is attached to the crank,what if crank is messed up or the seals are?even if off a lil can cause it to wear n make it need rebuild sooner!

im putting this engine in my new superfreak in a month,i dont want any unnecessary probs down the road

It should be fine. Just imagine that you didn't run kenny keepers and busted on a poorly executed sub.

 

[westin427]

ya ill prob do that since everyone is saying itll prob be fine...thats why i made this thread for reassurance haha

but more bad keeps happening i just got my blowsion package n they sent me the wrong color chin pad....

they did my colors backwards....which sux because they make em to order...im sure they'll fix it but damn my luck

 

[SuperJETT]

Yeah, that cast aluminum is much weaker than the crank, especially in the direction it broke.

 

[Waternut]

That is going to be wicked hard to get off the crank... I hope it hasn't been on there too long.

flywheel lock+monkey wench

Ups is the worst man. They've ruined two motors in the last year that I know about. My Dasa engine was dropped...like yours, but on the other end. They bent my cases so that the flywheel wouldnt fit inside the housing. Then they denied my insurance claim saying it wasn't package properly. I paid $50 for 5k worth of insurance and they said that 'it's' not considered insurance, just a "declaration of value.". Use fedEx.

Peanuts move around and bubble pack pops You talk to the shipper they say it has to take a two foot drop because they can slide off the rollers or conveyer belts. The larger the box the harder it is for someone to get a good grip on it.

its more like a four foot drop. I used to work for fedex. we had a guy come in one day and test drop packages to show us what happened. Lift and deliver 250 pieces a day and see how well you treat them after doing it 5 or 6 days a week.

I don't blame those guys at all. They are overworked and underpaid. Also a lot of hands contact your shipment along it's way. wrap it like it will fall four feet is the bottom line. After seeing what happens to those bozes I know I started wrapping things better when I ship them out.

 

[snowxr]

Right on Bruceski. Last motor I shipped was surrounded by 2-part foam and styrofoam blocks. Not taking any chances.

Add 1 more motor to UPS's failures. A friend got a GP1200r motor that they dropped and broke the cases a few months back. They denied his claim, too.

 

[wright2383]

did not want to read this thread...... shipped a motor to canada yesterday..... hope it makes it in one piece!!!

OP, sorry to hear about your new motor!!! i would be MAD!

 

[MattyBoom]

What kind of box was used? I usually ship motors in milk crates and use ratchet straps to hold them together.

If insured for over 1k ups usually issues a high value report with the item never had a problem with them when i have to ship an irreplaceable water-pump or fuel pump.

 

[SXIPro]

The idea that someone used packing peanuts for something of that weight and of that value cracks me up. Who packed it....a 3 year old?

 

[Pablo]

Mine was packed with 3" thick, dense foam rubber and a 2x4" wood frame for the floor of the rubbermade tote and a 1/2" sheet of plywood for the roof that covered the whole thing. My tote was beat to hell. It looked like it had been dropped in more than one place as two corners were cracked and two sides were kicked in. It's a tote with handles, so I don't feel bad for someone who uses the excuse that they're tired and been doing it all shift. That sucks that the job is hard but that's not an excuse to beat the shiat out of my package. Get a different job if it's too tough or the hours are too long for u. There's tier jobs for sure. Don't think these guys are digging trenches or cleaning port-a-potties. It's more of a management issue with quality control and customer care. I know UPS has to be able to keep costs down to maintain a reasonable shipping rate and be able to return profits...I guess denying insurance claims and giving customers the run around is their way to save money.

 

[extreemthrottle]

that sucks!
i have shipped a few motors and breakable items in the last few years. the last two motors, i wrapped in a plastic garbage bag, then in the bottom of the box, i used two part foam and poured in a nice thick bed of foam. just before it fully cures, set the motor in it. then foam around it so more. i did a 1200 pv motor and though it took the guy a little work to get it out, it worked perfectly. you could see where it was "handled" a little roughly so im glad i did it that way.
