We take great care when packaging every item to ensure safe shipment to you and charged postage is only to cover our postage & packaging costs, where charged.
WHEEL TRIMS:
Most common cause of trims cracking, splitting and lugs damaging is due to incorrect fitting or attempting to fit a wrong size. With this in mind, every single wheel trim is closely examined and checked for any sign of damage and then packed very well along with a packing slip showing each trim checked and signed by the packer. Most trims have 4 or 5 imitation nuts depending on the size of set.
We cannot replace wheel trims that have been damaged by the customer during fitting, neither can we replace any that are lost whilst driving. It is buyerโs responsibility to ensure fitment is correct before driving your vehicle.
Still if you receive a damaged wheel trim within a set of 4 trims. You will be required to provide evidence of the damage by attaching an image showing top, back and side view of the trim via eBay Messaging Centre. In order to offer a resolution, we may require the damage trim to be returned for it to be examined. We cannot pay for a return of the entire set.
