GoodGuy Alert! Mel Benzaquez and Classic Restorations!
« on: November 16, 2006 - 12:45:50 PM »
I'm glad to be able to post this... a while back I bought a Cuda grille on eBay, and it arrived in a zillion pieces...

http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...rue#Post2808149

Long story short: Mel Benzaquez from Classic Restorations in NY came through BIG TIME in the end. I just received a check from him for the FULL amount that I had paid for the grille, INCLUDING shippping charges. I'm not sure if FedEx paid his claim or not, but he made GOOD on his end of the deal.

I gotta say, I was about to chalk it up to experience, but I guess it CAN take a while to get FedEx to cough up...

So, thanks again to Mel Benzaquez and Classic Restorations for being a bro!

 :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :grinyes: :grinyes: :cheers:

Ha! Funny, I was just thinking about this incident last night.

Now I know the answer. Lucky you didn't end up screwed.

Thanks guys.... and, yeah, I had found another grille at Spring Fling last year, and picked it up.  Like the one that got destroyed, this one is not a NOS grille, but is super-nice, repainted, with new fasteners, and is quite nice.  The Spring Fling grille was cheaper as well!

BTW: I spelled Mel's last name wrong... it's BenzaqueN, not Benzaquez...
