Hei

Måtte bare sende en mail til 4WD etter å ha mottatt en pakke luft fra dem.  
Legger ut mailen i sin helhet.

Hi Jackie

I just have to rant a bit about packaging when you send items to Norway with UPS (air). Got the first shipment a couple of weeks ago. “WOW, a pretty large box for some small items!” I thought when UPS delivered it to me. Not heavy either… well, I opened it and inside the large box there was two pretty large Rugged Ridge boxes. I wonder what’s in them, opened them and behold – there was one small plastic door handle in each box and a lot of insulation!! You have to be kidding   

If I tried, I’m pretty sure that I could have put all the items in one of those rugged ridge boxes… See attachments. I’ve put a tape roll beside the boxes as a reference.







Do you see why I ask you to pack sensible?? This is actually a topic for discussion at the Norwegian Jeep Forum. It’s expensive enough to send parts to Norway by air, why send a lot of American air with the packages also? I hope you can encourage your “airheads” (I just couldn’t resist the reference  ) to think twice before packing? That goes for the items that you are sending to JetCarrier also. The smaller the box, the less I have to pay to get it to Norway by air. See JetCarriers prices below.

Thanks Jackie, just had to let out the Gremlins and let you know

Velkommen i klubben.
Jeg bestilte en bolt fra dem en gang. Hadde regnet med at de puttet den i en polstret konvolutt, men neida:

Hei

Er tydeligvis ikke alene her. Legger ut svar fra Jackie når det foreligger.

Kvalifisert arbeidskraft har sitt å si. Har vært borti det samme fra BJS Offroad ifm en pakning til transferkasse. Denne kunne de ha lagt i en isolert konvolutt og sendt med vanlig postgang. I stedet for så havner pakningen til $6 i ei lita eske som UPS skal ha $99 for å sende.  Totalt kosta denne pakningen meg $105

Skal prøve Willysoverland neste gang - takk for tipset.

Willys Overland har vært vår sponsor for Barfrosttreffet tidligere og sjefen der deler vårt syn på sakene.
I tillegg er det et lite og personlig firma som sikkert ikke har alt på lager, men som sjefen sier kan skaffe alt som 4WD leverer.

Svar fra 4WD:

Thomas,

..........

I can’t believe that a small part was packaged up in a large box.. This was not packaged from us.. We received this box from the vendor.. We usually do not open vendor boxes to see what is inside.. I talked with my warehouse, I informed them to make sure to package up the order as small as possible and still keep the parts protected.. We will make sure this next package is done as small as possible.. Looking forward to hearing from you ..

Thanks!!
