Brand new balancer G.M. 12674582 They also destroyed the washer that was shipped in the same box.

If they give me a refund I'm FAR less likely to identify the seller. 8-)

That box looks like it's been passed around like a cheap hooker. :lol:
But, what the ... for that washer.

Checked at RA and they do have an aftermarket one much cheaper.

lol Totes Magotes @Mooseman! I already received a new GM part from RA, and it looks perfect. Idk exactly what happened with the other seller (still unmentioned), but I had to pay shipping both ways. Currently I've paid more overall, than if I had just bought it locally with the outrageous local dealer markup.

Just a suggestion but make sure to file a claim with the shipping carrier, there's always a remote chance you might get some return out of it. Probably about as good as a December BBQ under a palm tree in Alaska though :)

I tried that too. According to UPS current terms of service, it's up to me to "work with the seller" for reimbursement.

A number of years back I watched UPS loaders using packages as basketballs with a suction cup hoop one day at my local terminal. I was camped out waiting for a package and I kept hearing "bump"... "thump" close to the car so I got out to investigate. Looked in back of a UPS truck and saw that 3 loaders had a small suction-cup basketball hoop mounted on the front wall interior and were throwing small packages at the hoop to try to make baskets. After that I no longer use UPS for anything unless I am compelled to, then I'll put up an argument. Just sayin'.....

So, it's no wonder UPS wants the boxes packaged to withstand a 650kt thermonuclear strike! Shame on your seller for crappy packaging.

Precisely! @elc32955 Idk for sure if it was "shipping basketball" (or in this case shot put) that resulted in the damaged vulcanized seal on the balancer, just not taking taking any chances with this one. Cheers bud.

Wonder if they clone these delivery people somewhere?

⚠️ Attention.⚠️
OEMPartsQuick dot com is a total ripoff. NO REFUND will be issued for my damaged or otherwise compromised parts. I paid for shipping both ways and I'm SOL. Lesson learned.
