Radiator express does not stand behind their warranty. I recently ordered a copper/brass consruction radiator from radiatorexpress.com fpr my 79 TA. They sent a radiator with plastic tanks. When I opened the box I immediately saw the plastic tanks and contacted them about the error. The radiator was not removed from the box or installed. I followed their instructions to return the radiator to them for a refund. The shipping cost of $22.44 was paid by me. Radiator express refuses to reimburse the shipping cost. This was their mistake not mine. Their warranty states the following: :fire
If Radiator Express has made a mistake on your order, we will replace it at no additional shipment cost to you, provided you have not already installed the item. (No prepaid returns are offered for previously installed items, for any reason)
