New Parts Arrived....

Today should have been a good day. My Superforged BBK arrived after a 5 week wait. My excitement quickly subsided once I began opening the boxes. The rear rotors are MIA, maybe they will show up tomorrow...? Once I cracked into the caliper box, my mood took a turn. Whoever packed the calipers set the fronts on top of the rears with just a thin piece of foam separating them.

Front calipers...looking nice, but why does the box look old, used and abused...

Both front calipers look like this. Maybe I'm just being picky as this is the inside face of the caliper, nobody will ever see it but me, but still, I did buy "new" calipers.

And now we get to the rear calipers. Both of them are damaged on the outside. FML

I paid for Route insurance on this order, no clue how good they are. Should I just get some black paint and paint over the damage myself and move on, or see what kind of resolution Route will provide?

So after filing the insurance claim, 8 back and forth emails including pictures and a notarized affidavit, I have a replacement order number for the BBK. Let's see if this one takes 5 weeks to get here as well.

OP thanks for your order. We get it. So let me be clear about that. Yeah this does suck for you OP and I won’t invalidate your frustration. Let me just say something through. I stand behind all of our work - even this part of it that we don’t control because if you didn’t have Route via Lethal then you would have had me and the same outcome. Thankfully it’s not often. We are making your kit.

Now in this situation……….

I think you were kidding by saying we reuse boxes. For the record we don’t. I made the mistake recently for a local shipment and won’t do it again. Our factory certainly does not. And I picked up on the sarcasm in the post too - as if somehow we would not ship your kit after we are talking about a kit just delivered (albeit in bad shape). We deserve our criticism and we’ll take it. If it’s unjust or wrong we’ll just help clarify. I get scam attempts ever my day - this industry is full of crazy and I promise we’re not that.

Onto the packages….

Here are the boxes as delivered. They leave the shipping pier as perfect squared corners man. FedEx crushed those boxes with so much force that it compressed the foam to its minimum and literally split heavily taped boxes at the corners and turned the boxes and padding into thin napkins. Lethal shared the pictures you sent because I need to file claim with FedEx as well. Thanks for taking them and sharing them.

The image above shows a caliper - it should be protected by a thick foam piece or rotor box depending on the setup.

This is an image of a caliper. We don’t ship them this way.

And I’m sorry you had to go through 8 emails - nobody wants to be on the losing end of an insurance claim for $4000 so thanks for the due diligence. I can see in the pics that the boxes are completely thrashed and smashed. Unacceptable of course. Do you have pics of that box on the porch? To us, it Looks like the crushing force smashed everything onto itself causing all the damage to the calipers. The good news is that you are getting a whole new kit! I will personally look into the timing of your order.

It’s been 2 years since we began and we’ve resisted branching to other vehicles til we work the kinks out. We are still working on ourselves and one major issue has been worked out big time. I know some rumors are running and they’re probably true. Maybe. Either way I will be announcing a huge update to our wheels very soon. Op I’m sorry this happened we will help fix it soon enough. If anyone has questions about this or anything feel free to text or email. I’ll try to revisit this thread soon.

My post was not about bashing a vendor but venting my frustration. Since I did not order directly from Superforged, I had to follow protocol and deal with the insurer of the vendor I purchased from. One of the main reasons I chose to purchase the Superforged kit was based on their reputation of delivering quality. After seeing the kit in person, I know I made the right choice.

Bruce I am sending you more pics of the boxes as delivered.
