Recommendation on running boards please

Well, they just showed up. They look like post #62 BUT worse :redbrick: Bent ends, chipped powder coat, the works. Customer Service said they get LOTS of returns for DZ stuff. I mean how hard can it be to put styrofoam or extra cardboard on the ends of the box. Even my brackets were whack, box looked like an crinkled brown lunch bag, all scratched up. Six brackets in the box, nothing else, not even a piece of plastic, all in there rubbing and scratching each other up :wtf:

I am not even dealing with a replacement, and getting pissed off when I get the same crap packaging in return. Full refund for me. Back to the drawing board...

Total Horse S*%# guess I won't be buying any either. Maybe AutoAnything will say somethign to DZ. Sorry man
 
the oem ones that come on the canadian limited are sweet .. except we have had a couple rubber thingys come out .. but the dealer replaced them with no problems .
 
Quick question for those on here that had them damaged in the mail. Did you all buy them from the same place?
I'd still be interested in them if they come from a store that maybe has them in stock and does not drop ship them from DZ.

Auto parts stores all over the country sell DeeZee, buy local! Though I did buy mine online from Truck Customizers and they were not damaged. If you all bought from Autoanything I would think it's their issue and not DeeZee's. Just saying

My point exactly, you may pay more from your local store but at least you get to see them before you buy them. C'mon guys chime in and let us know where you bought from.

Auto Accessories Garage shipped direct from DZ. It is 100% DZ poor shipping period. I can not recall anything in my adult life packaged this poorly. Seriously...
 
I just sent DeeZee an email to inform them of the problem they have with thier packaging, lets see if I hear anything back.



"Hello there I would like to bring to your attention, that several of our forum members on 4Runnerforum.com are having some issues regarding your shipping procedures. Apparently they are getting damaged products due to them being poorly packaged. I am bring this to your attention so you can address the situation, from my understanding you make good quality products but the way your packaging is terrible. I was going to buy some running boards but after the negative feedback I got from this forum with regards to your packaging I am reluctant to buy. Please click on the link below and read about 4 pages of the post

I hope you can take care of the problem and if you do please let me know and I will post up on our forum and I will place my order.
Regards"
 
I put my boards on couple weeks ago and will post pics soon. I didnt even realize or notice that I do also have some dings to my boards as well. It's not as big as some posted here so I won't bother returning them. But yeah the packaging was loose and not great.

Good through today Auto Accessory Garage is an additional 10% off (code NEWBIE) + Free Shipping. Of course I like the most expensive option, stainless steel deck/black trim. Have not seen this version pictured on this forum though...I think it would look awesome, kinda look like the BMW X5 running boards. They look more sporty to me vs the chrome being more dressy in my eyes.

Just placed order....will post pics since have not seen this set up yet. The chrome would of been to much with my black wheel set up IMO.
