How did you send it? If by courier, they should provide you with proof of
receipt at CIP, and then send this to CIP. Don't give up - CIP has a good
reputation to uphold, so I trust they will ultimately do the the right thing. I
once had a similar problem with Ron's Parts (now RPI) where it took
several calls to get a credit applied. In their case, I suspect it was just
being disorganized, as I've met the guys and they are quite decent. (I've
also met some of the CIP guys, but that was 5-6 years ago...)
Perhaps a local list member could call them or drop by, and let them know
that your story has now known to ~800 Vanagon owner (or whatever the
number is now...)
