A few years ago I bought a windshield from him, theshop62. He shipped only
wrapped in bubble wrap & shipping tape. Of course it arrived busted. He
refunded my money and then collected the insurance. I left positive feed
back, my bad, and stated that it could have been packaged better. He left
me negative feedback. My one and only. Live & learn. Be warned.
