I sold an NOS 70 inner and outer grille on ebay last summer and shipped it FedEx to the buyer. FedEx crushed the outer grille, mangling the original GM box so bad, that some FedEx employees taped pieces of other boxes to the original box to try to cover the holes ripped in it.
Then, FedEx denied the claim.
Thank goodness I had pictures of the grille and box that I took at the shipping center (as we took the outer grille out of the box, wrapped it in bubble-wrap, then put back in), and pictures of the demolished grille that the buyer took upon arrival. Those pics, combined with a letter from my attorney got FedEx to pay the $550 claim in full.
Still took 5 weeks to settle.
Needless to say, I will never use FedEx again.
Be carefull shipping those grilles. Very easy to damage.
