Hi Guys and Girls,
A couple of weeks ago I sold a ported head and a stage 1 cam shaft - I had packed it up wrapped and boxed up - The gentleman that bought the head and cam is located in NSW and I am in WA I had organised a freight company TNT to collect and deliver.
The box weighed approximately 12 kg was 600mmx 300mm x400mm was correctly labled.
Last week when it was delivered I get a phone call from the guy that was supposed to recieve it asking if this was a joke and if I was ripping him off !?

What he recieved was a Sun Visor for what looks like a 4WD!!!

After extensive talks and emails with TNT it looks like that I was on crack and did not know what I was putting in the box and sent a sun visor not a engine head?

I have come to the conclussion that I am not on crack and someone has taken the head and cam... now there is no possible way I don''t think for ID''ing the engine that this head came from even the cam shaft in the box it came in is labled different from the cam that is actually in it.

I am keeping an eye out on the likes of Gumtree and maybe Ebay to see if this pops up somewhere, and would really appriciate if other members could do the same just to keep an eye out for a ported head and cam - when I did ship it out I had a stock cam in the head and the stage 1 cam in a box wrapped in bubble wrap same with the head it was also wrapped in bubble wrap.

please call me on my mobile 0418909495 for any information that you may have
 
Maybe my head really was a transformer... damn I know it was good but gee whiz...

sorry I have to make light of this otherwise I will stab someone
 
well if you have the paperwork that states the package you sent was 12kg then you can obviously prove you didn't send the sun visor lol. either a dodgy by the receiver or the company so its up to them to sort it out
 
Well I'm not dodgy I'm the receiver of the Sunvisor not a head and cam. When the part left WA it was the sunvisor and it had WA Newspaper in the box and you can't buy them in Northern NSW so it would be really good if someone keeps an eye out for a 4G93 head and Crower cam to suit for sale, Someone must know where they are otherwise its a huge stuff up by TNT

Then its got to be within TNT and as the receiver its up to you to chase it up as long as the paperwork is correct on the senders end. Hard luck mate I do feel for you :thumbdown: but hopefully it turns up and you're able to get it

Providing you are both honest, I would be taking pictures of the box and its contents, look for re-packing and new tape. If it's the right box wrong contents then someone's opened it up and pulled a swappy, then go to TNT and claim it as theft with in TNT. Start shaking the tree. Threaten legal action, maybe a bit of 1800 Tracey Grimshaw. This appears to happen regularly with these companies and I bet a good part of it is internal theft.
 
Haha standard tnt.

Best of luck to you guys.

I deal with transport companies day in say out. My best advice is always and I mean always be incredibly polite.
 
I would put 99% chance, on that there was a sunvisor going from WA to somewhere, and a head going from WA to NSW. and they got mixed up in the first depot.

Cant you both compare Consignment numbers? That will prove the package sent was not the package delivered???
 
Just andupdate on the missing head story. I was the recipient of the sunvisor and the con note said it was a cylinder head and weight was 12 Kg and 60 x 30 x 20 Carton the package I got was 137 x 27 x 26 and weight was only 6 Kg and TNT still say that is what they picked up. I believe at some stage after pick up and delivery to TNT depot that the con notes got mixed up and were put on the wrong packages. TNT and Interparcel have wiped their hands of it and say it was the senders fault which I do not believe. Anyway can only hope it turns up one day but I wont hold my breath.
 
Quick up date we are still waiting to hear if the guy missing the sun visor has realised that it is indeed missing... I have just spent a good part of the day driving to perth to talk to people to find the missing head - I did find a lovely young lady that was shocked about the current situation and is in fact going to look into this further, she did confirm the process for processing parcels but did say that Con Notes do come off from time to time and do get reattached...
I guess again it is just a waiting game.
 
have recently bought a fair bit of stuff from the seller, she has been more than accomodating, and I must say I don't believe that she would be attempting to rip you off. Hope the head is found soon, I dare say that TNT has screwed this up all you can hope is they do the right thing. Did the sun visor come with a receipt in the box? Or a packing slip, might be able to track where that parcel came from instead and they could possibly point you in the direction of where the head has ended up.
 
Thank you for the support really do appreciate it.

Here is a question for you all and be objective about this...
If you wrapped and sent a package off to another state and you had attached all the paperwork that was nessicary and for some unexplained reason the package that was signed for on the receiving end was not the same as you had sent and also was missing 90% of all the accompanying documents and transport stickers and you had exhausted all avenues of trying to locate the missing parcel - what would you do give a full refund - a partial refund or say you are an idiot for signing a document knowing full well that you were not receiving what was supposed to be in the box.

moral of the story is don't sign a legal document unless you are happy with what you are signing for.

if it were me i'd say it really has nothing to do with me. if i did everything right, sent the right item, included all the documentation and have proof that it is what was sent through the receipt and the weight listed etc. even though its not the fault of the receiver, they did sign for it meaning the company will now not take any responsibility. if it wasn't signed for the company would have had to find it or cover the costs for the lost item so really its the receivers fault and I wouldn't give them a cent even though i feel sorry for them. someone has to cop it on the chin and why be you when you are the only one who hasn't done anything wrong.
 
its hard you know - I had originaly advertised for a full head cam ported intake 60mm TB and reflashed ecu for $900 and I agreed to split it up for $500 he got the head and the cam and I am basically left with stuff that is no longer a package so I loss out on the full asking price and if I refund him I lose out not only in parts but also the other $400 ... I wonder if the shoe was on the other foot if he would replace or refund the buyer who signed the docs? I don't think he would somehow... I would be getting the apprentice to foot the bill... or just write it off as a loss at tax time.
the other thing I don't understand is that he knows LLT and Luie has said that he has a head there he can buy - so why not ask him in the first place instead of getting a head from other side of the country
 
The onus is on the buyer to check this received goods and sign if s/he agrees that what is being delivered is what was paid for.



You dont go to the shops and buy a dozen eggs and not check, only to find out at home that they're all smashed before you purchased them.
