Damage Claims: It is the responsibility of the carrier for the delivery of merchandise in good condition. YOU MUST INSPECT ALL DELIVERIES AT ONCE!!!!!

Contact UPS or the Truck line so they can send a representative to inspect the damaged package. Their representative will then contact us and we will take the proper steps to execute the claims and/or send replacement parts. If these procedures are not followed, the carrier will not accept liability for the damaged shipment.

Apologies: I'm sorry to have to sound like a hard ass here but, for years and years we've been able to do business on a handshake, so to speak. Thanks to a select few, We are left with no choice other than to set these rules and follow them. Those of you that are long time customers know we are easy to get along with and nothing has changed. To the potential new customers, these rules had to be set because of a few folks that wanted to take advantage of a situation. Just some examples here: I have had folks demand that I take items back that were sold to them nearly a year earlier, thus the 30 day return policy. I have had people order stuff, leave it in the packaging for months and months, discover it was damaged and then expect me to replace it, since the shiping company would not after that period of time. Keep in mind that we are not Wal-Mart (tm), we do not have billions and billions of transactions, so it is really hard to absorb transactions gone bad. I have even had people that I sold used parts to actually return the part they were replacing claiming I had sent them a defective part; again we are not doing billions of transactions so we are quite aware of what goes out the doors here and thankfully our used parts are all marked. If we make a mistake and send you a wrong part or defective part we will take care of it. This is how I put food on my table, I've owned Scout M.A.D.ness since 1992, I been around a long while and do not plan on going anywhere, so I have to take care of my customers! Basically I'm saying that I pay for my mistakes, please do not expect me to pay for yours too. We are very easy to work with and would like the oportunity to serve you, so please give us a try.
