Default NEW OEM BEARINGS DELIVERED DAMAGED AGAIN

WTF Is it just me or do others ever order oem bearings and they are damaged on either the face or the edge of the bearing. I have ordered bearings from delray acura multiple times with this issue having to wait for them to send me the replacements and then hoping the replacements aren't damaged. Is there a better acura site to order them with better results without outrageous prices? This time all my damage is on the edges so would it be ok to clean up the damaged areas with emory cloth and is it safe to clean them after words with something? I am sketchy on doing this but would love to assemble this weekend.

the last 2 sets of oem bearings i ordered were damaged.

nicks in the surface and on the edges.

i even got one that was crushed out of round lol

there are only 2 warehouses in the country where dealerships get their parts. one is in cali and the other is in NJ.

That's actually incorrect... there's actually about 5 or 6... unfortunately when ordering the parts online though, there's no way guarantee the part is in good shape when it arrives... one of the downfalls you just have to deal with when ordering online

Sounds like it's time to change from OEM to ______ to avoid the pain. Hit up Innes, he can hook it up.

I live in southern NH. Paypal me the money and I will go to my local honda dealership and order the parts at the counter. Then ship them to you. Just pm me and we can set that up.

Have you tried through www.hondapartsunlimited.com ? Good pricing and both Honda and Acura parts from the same site.
