BAMF BBQ And demo day meet! 1-18-2014

mind if i ask where did it come from jerry?

edit i see where..

 

Not sure just yet it might be a send a check and parts thing and I hire someone to fix it. I just don't see a full replacement happening from that far away but you never know.

 

This.

Man, from afar, it looks like it was dropped. But this looks way worse.

 

Man that sucks balls man, all that effort to get the damn thing here and make space for it, if it covered, how or who would repair it?

 

There is no way it was dropped on its side there would be way more wrong with it. The worst thing broke on it is the boom arm and the servo bracket all other stuff is just cosmetic. It's really up to how the insurance wants to handle it. The coverage was for about 2000 over the cost of the machine and it cost me 4000 for duties taxes and delivery to my shop so i don't know what's going to happen.

That said the manufacturer replied to my emails as soon as they got into work so that a good sign. We getting in contact with the insurance company to file the claim and get this resolved ASAP!!

 

I meant straight down.

If the mfg covers it as a replacement, I would think they would arrange for a pickup of this one and delivery of the new one. I would also imagine there'd be no new charges you'd need to pay.

 

that had to be some rough handling to do that to such a heavy machine.

 

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

 

Fuck im cringing so bad.

 

One can only hope they are pretty good with working with me on this I think I have about 10 emails from them already a it's making me feel a little better about everything.

 

it's the US side port that fucked up? or the china side?

 

I'm sure it was the US side as they put it into the container In China themselves before it shipped. Some of It could of been at sea as well we will never know. I know a lot of it happened at the warehouse in Oakland when my truck driver said it was fucked up they said it was normal wear and tear WTF! That's normal.

 

damn so it's not even operable?

 

Look like the ON/OFF switch is even fucked up. probably better to leave it alone till insurance pans out

 

Was this a new unit or?

 

yeah fresh from the motherland(for me anyway)

 

I'm sure it will bend metal but I'm not even messing with it until the insurance takes care of what they have to do.

brand new even picked the color

 

Wait so they welded and spray painted it AT the port of Oakland?

tsk tsk that's not good. Jerry if you get any hassle let me know. I know one of the managers at the Oakland & Richmond ports

 

wow man sorry to hear, hope the insurance covers it.

I would really push for a new machine, you might not see problems now if it's fixed but they might pop up later.

What were you using before?
