Their initial units were missing some packing structures so my wheel plate was just bouncing around during shipping and it caused the scratches.
I emailed them, sent them pictures and they responded promptly. Their response was to 1) offer me $150 credit or 2) offer a replacement unit free of any wait or charge. Since it was really just superficial damage and very slight I took the $150. Their response blew me away considering they were a new company and even though I sold the swing out and moved onto a full rear bumper I am still a fan of Rig'd and can't recommend them enough.
Honestly I think this is how SSO should have handled this. They should have offered $100-$150 in refund and sent the customer a power coat touch up kit free of charge. The bigger issue here and I think many have missed is that when the OP reached out to SSO they told him they'd be sending him a new replacement bumper in 2 weeks and instead it's been 2 months and now they have changed their story/response to say it'll be pending a FedEx claim. To me, that is misleading if not a flat out lie. SSO should have just initially said we're investigating the issue and will be filing a claim with FedEx. Instead they fed the OP a fable and made it worse. I think the OP is more upset about being lied to then the bumper itself being damaged.

Yes, you nailed it on the head with the last paragraph. If I was offered a small discount initially I would have accepted and moved on. Unfortunately they never offered and instead I was told I would be getting sent a new bumper in a few weeks which never showed up. So I've been sitting around waiting for months for something that was never going to ship. I like SSO and think they make quality products. But don't tell me you are sending me a new bumper if that's not the case.
