When you pay $1200 for an AAR hood, you expect more from Stinger Fiberglass

In my mind, the manufacturer should offer to cover a reasonable repair cost. You’re talking a couple of hours of labor and under $20 worth of resin and mat. One would of thought that the manufacturer would have filed a claim against the shipper for $150 or so and then refunded $250 back to the purchaser and all might’ve been right with the world. That’s how I would’ve resolved the issue. My point is, **** happens. Pointing fingers, throwing tantrums, and thinking it’s always someone else’s fault will get you nowhere. We don’t live in a perfect world but somehow we always expect things to go perfectly.

Who's throwing tantrums? I feel like I've been pretty level headed throughout all of this. I can even share the email I sent if you'd like.

He paid $800 ish, some tax and the rest was freight. That should have all been broken down to make things clearer.

I clarified in one of my posts how much I paid for the hood. Whether it was $1200 total or $800 for the hood, $300 for shipping, and the rest in taxes, my bank account is still $1200 less than it was before buying the hood. How is that not a $1200 purchase?
