    I ordered some Bendix brake pads last week from Amazon and oh boy did they arrive today. I came home to a HUGE box and as soon as I opened it this is what I saw...

    The 7 peanuts were really effective. Luckily 7 of the pads are fine and the other one only has a small chunk missing. I think I'm going to keep them, but seriously WTF?

    Seriously. The wife had her "How many thousands of dollars are in that box?" look when I got home. Luckily is was only a c-note worth of brake pads.

    What a outright display of incompetence lol...too funny! Are these pads the same or similar to the stockers? I'll be needing some very soon and sadly, will be forced with going to a less dusty type. I can't take it anymore. lol

    Adam, I can't view the pics at work, and my home comp is TKO, but when I got mine, one set was nice and pretty... in a closed box, etc... the other set... different story. Box tore open, 2 pads floating in peanuts and clanking together... luckily all were fine. But I was indeed shocked at the packing incompetence.

    BTW: Bought mine on Amazon too.

    Got mine through Amazon too. They came in two separate deliveries. One was OK where the outer box was the right size for the brake pad box. The next was the rear pads and that little box was in a box about the size of a shoebox with no peanuts or anything. They were just banging around in there. It's like WTF just put some tape and a label on the pad box and ship it that way it would be way more secure.

    How much were the "handling charges" for such a rediculous box.
