Hi,

I bought a set of wheels from a seller in Sweden. When I received them one of the brackets had red paint on it and was bent. It is clearly not new.

Is this acceptable?

Cost over $400.00 with duties etc.

Regards,

Darryl

just straighten it out with 2 hammers, one on top and the other on bottom and hit to get the bend out.

Hi,

they wheels are new. The brackets have obviously been installed on a boat and taken off for some reason.

I guess I can ask for a discount.

Hi All,

I did get a reply. The person was very kind and realized that he had made a mistake and sent me a demo piece. He quickly sent me new brackets.

I am now a happy camper and can recommend the person.

Luvinflatableboats did you buy wheels from Sweden made by Pernborn?

If so how do you like them... now that the mistake was cleared up?
