Sarah's NIB Scrambled Scorcher

Sarah on the Bay sold this car to me. The auction was ended early, surprisingly almost immediately after I had placed my bid. I was informed that shipping costs would be very reasonable.

Well, I should have known..! 4 months later and after numerous liasing, I discovered that they had chosen the drop-kick shipping method. It obviously required a number of drop kicks after leaving Hong Kong in order to land in New Zealand.
The 'packaging' was simply a card wrapped around the center of the box with both short ends visible. This was then 'sealed' in brown paper, which was torn open enroute. A sumo snail was chosen to take the kick.

Blister packs had broken open and the box was creased through the middle. On close inspection, the body had stress marks on the roof and bonnet from being squashed with dings along the side caused by the loose parts which had come out of their torn blister packs. Nothing was missing.

These pics were emailed to them with request for replacement at my cost for return shipping. After a few emails to and fro, it was decided that they would replace the body. I was satisfied with this compromise and said that I will return the original damaged body. However, I was told that there was no need to do so.

Seven months has since passed and Sarah still sells Scorcher bodies and rc gear on the Bay - However, I am still waiting for my replacement to arrive. Sarah / rccrsarahdc2009 will not get any business or recommendations from RACECRAFTERS again.
