Straightening out an exhaust tip
I just bought an exhaust from a member here and his shitty approach to packaging just to save 10 dollars and 5 minutes of time caused the exhaust tip to perforate the box and get crushed on one side like a coke can.
How do I work out the dent so its round again?

The seller and I talked about this. Its for sure Fedex's fault. The box was opened sometime during transport and then put back together in a completely retarded way. I dont think any normal human being could ever possibley ship something the way this exhaust was shipped.
He is doing the honorable thing and wants to come get it, but I almost want to keep it and try to straighten the tip out. The price was really good.

Six months later I had FedEx telling me they were going to axe my shipping account and send me to collections 'cause the jackass skipped out on paying his customs fees.
Pay your customs fees, don't bone the seller.

I shipped out two fenders off my civic together, the packaging was small and light. It gets delivered to the buyer no problem, but then I get a letter in the mail saying I owe them $90, after I already paid the original shipping cost. They said it was a "shipping adjustment", and said that it weighed some ridiculous number like 50lbs. I refused to pay it, they took me to collections, now I have that on my credit and they ended up getting their money. F*CK UPS. I refuse to ship with them ever again.
