Not a satisfied customer

I ordered a refurbished factory rim to replace a rim that is cracked. Due to negligent packing (there was nothing protecting the outer edge of the rim apart from one single layer of cardboard, the box itself), the rim was damaged during transport. The damage was cosmetic in nature, but would cost almost the cost of a rim to replace. Unfortunately, due to the previous rim being cracked, I require the rim so I can operate my vehicle. The only offer Rockauto could muster was a mere 30% of the repair cost of the rim. In order to receive a replacement rim, I have to front the additional cost of the next rim. I am not satisfied with the replacement or repair options. I cannot let me vehicle sit while I wait for a replacement wheel. And to repair it now costs almost double what a refurbished wheel locally would cost. Ultimate value for this purchase is very low. I have purchased previously from Rockauto, but this was my last purchase. I must have a rim to operate my vehicle and don't feel I should be responsible for fronting the cost of their error. Customer service did not even attempt to offer a better solution.

We're very sorry this customer received a damaged part! We offered a few options to resolve the issue: a partial refund if he keeps the part for use and repair, a return for full refund, a return for reshipment of an undamaged part as soon as this one was on its way back to us, or for him to place a new order so he has a new part and then return the broken one for a full refund. Shipping costs, of course, would be covered by us. We wouldn't be able to send him a free part without either the damaged part being in transit back to us or a new order placed. The customer chose to be partially refunded for the damage and we refunded his original payment method.
