Disgrunted LMC customer!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to get a new radiator support but I am not willing to pay 100 dollars for shipping when DHL will do it for 49 dollars. LMC said they will still charge 100. This is crazy!!!! I have one with a bit of rust through on the bottom. If I treat it and cover the holes I'm wondering if it will hold up for a long time. Use like the rust converter or something and then lay fiberglass or fill with fiberglass putty. What do you guys think??????????

Whats up with that shipping charge, aren't they making enough????

If they also use DHL and you request DHL but it gets shipped by another company you have the right to refuse the item and have it returned, it will be their shipping bill both ways. This is what UPS driver has told me.
Strange thing is a small item shipped to me with a shipping cost of $8.35 thru UPS a union carrier vs $11.78 thru Fed X a non union carrier. You know who I use even if UPS costs more.

LMC said even if they ship it DHL they will charge 100 still. Quite pathetic. If I lived closer to them I'd drive there.

you need to find you a Pick-N-Pull. We have one out here in Va. Beach, I do all my shopping there.... and if they don't have it, I wait! Since all the "Joe X" junk yards around here are run by Joe Dirt wanna-bee crooks!

Try this one, tell em you'll pick it up, then call FedEx or whomever and schedule the pickup...the vendor cannot refuse you since have contracted with to a carrier to act as your authorized agent

Try NPD instead...they are out of N.C. but Almost ALWAYS have prices about 1/2 to 1/4 for LMC for the exact same stuff.

Mike I am sorry that you have had a problem with LMC, but we don't condone bashing a supplier on our tech forms.
