"new" bosch coils have signs previously used (BMW-Talk Forum)

hello
I have in my home 5 "new" Bosch ignition coils for my m3 which I buy from partsrunner.de.
But, two of them have corroded boot and two have signs that is from locking nut.
See pictures. What to do? How I can know if this is good or bad, used or not used? I already send email to seller but i am from croatia and this is really pita!!!

I would sent them back.

New coils should not look so.

Thank god you didnt order Underwear. :)
I would send it back as well. Or at least it has to have a better price then a new one. maybe you can get some money back and keep it, if it works properli.

Dear Daniel / Dragana
(& Dear BMW Syndikat Users) -

This is Dirk Langenbach of partsrunner replying to the accusations made by user "foler".
I would like to clarify the situation as follows:

We did indeed receive an order of 5 BOSCH 0 221 504 474 ingnition coils from a Croatian customer (Daniel) with a delivery address in Germany (Dragana). We shipped the coils immediately upon receiving the payment. As a rather large online seller of quality, brand name and exclusively new auto parts, we did send the items that were ordered.

After a couple to days, we received an eMail by "Kajza" claiming that 2 of the 5 coils show "signs of mounting" and 2 have "rust on the connector boot".
We offered - as we always do - to send the coils back to us and to also send us a complaint document which we can then give to our supplier Bosch.
We also offered to send a replacement to the German adress (the one that was used for the original order) - as shipping to Croatia is 63 Euros.

We did not receive the used parts back and neither did we receive the claims document.
We also offered a 20% refund if the customer keeps the coils that he claims to be defective that our finance department would pay out within their regular payment cycle.
Out of a sudden, the customer demands that we send him 6 spark plugs (!?) to Croatia as a compensation. Needless to say, we did not do so as products and shipping would have exceeded 80 Euros.

We do cooperate with our customers to the highest extent possible.
However, as an internet retailer we cannot generally react to claims by customers accusing us to have sent wrong or defective items.
We have no proof that we have done anything wrong. If we generally react to eMails demanding us to send out new products, we would go out of business soon.
The correct way to claim a defect is to send us the items back, we do claim them with our supplier and then send out either a replacement or refund the money.
This is true for German as well as international customers.

Best Regards
Dirk Langenbach
