Yes I have. It was such a blatant screw job, including his attitude while talking to him on the phone, I get all worked up over it. Not only did I get the incorrect part, he would not accept it when I brought it PERSONALLY to Hershey. Then, I mailed it to the GA address, insured, and he said he didn't get it. The post office THERE said he did, but no signature was required. He got the part back plus my money!!! I got half the cost from the post office, who was screwed by him, and he also screwed us taxpayers!!
