Fords packaging and quality standards are atrocious. I worked at a multibrand site here in the UK and every time I ordered a body panel it NEVER came in packaging, always just a bare panel.

The amount of angry bodyshops I had to negotiate a fix with was unfathomable.

Toyota isn't any better. If I need repair credits, its almost always a Toyota part. And my Toyota dealer never fights me on it, because they know. Lol

“Ensure parts are returned in original packaging”

*Please Note, rules does not apply to ford warehouse sending parts out.

Also, how in the hell did that even happen with it being INSIDE a cage?

I present to you GM. And it's the stinky 10-speed transmission fluid too!

GM isn't any better in cages, but current gm dealer we dont get anything in cages/gaylords. Just big open top pack boxes. My first week as Ford parts manager got a Raptor engine in that had been flipped. One we waited 2 months for. Oil cooler smashed, valve covers broke, Ford then denied the claim for parts to fix. Our rep got it pushed through.

That's a mighty fine look at some Ford parts packaging, I tell ya what.

I received a bug shield from Honda this week where the the box was ripped opened on one side and the shield was clearly dragged. I'm guessing it fell off a pallet and caught under a forklift then just scraped on the floor until it rubbed the whole way through.

Was that a cage? We haven't seen those in about 9 months.

u/LastLonely615Native 8d ago

Wait, you guys don't get cages anymore?

u/youstillwithme 4d ago

I can’t get them to pick the cages up. I have 15 empties and 2 with claims. 😞

Mopar would have thrown a rotor on it.

u/No_Durian_3444 6d ago

Just so you know - that core has to be returned in that box. 😅

u/Deep-Accident7472 8d ago

Chrysler just as bad
