    Amazon hitches

    Amazon shipped my hitch without instructions or mounting hardware.

    HAs anyone purchased a hitch from Amazon lately? The Curt 111394?

    I've requested an exchange but darn, why did have to be such an awkward bulky thing to ship back?

    I would go to their website. At the bottom, open "contact us" & email them. They should take care of you!

    Ya, I'll try that. It would be so much easier for them just to ship the nuts and bolts.

    I just ordered my CURT 11394 from Amazon last month. It came with the instructions and hardware.

    They wouldn't charge you to send it back if they messed up I would just slap it back in the box it came in. Without the hardware that comes with it, it would be very hard to install. Comes with special fishwire things and the right brackets to slip into the frame.

    If you unscrew a bolt and push some stuff out of the way you don't even need to enlarge the hole. I posted a pic in the CURT 11394 thread.

    Did you order it from a 3rd party or amazon itself? I wouldn't expect this problem from Amazon.

    First: Fantastic news if I don't have to drill anything. I'll find your thread and have a read.

    Second: It was Amazon. Now the weird stuff. I paid $133 from Amazon. Now, no more Amazon, it's handled by a 3rd party and the price jumped to $206 !!! So you can see why I'm not keen to return it and get another via a purchase. The Amazon rep said they will ship me the hardware and I won't need to ship the hitch back.

    If for some weird reason the hardware doesn't arrive then I'll use the exchange choice and send mine back after I get one with the hardware.

    Someone wrote this in a Curt hitch review (2019 Mitsubishi Mirage) taken from etraller.com -

    "This is my second time buying and installing this hitch. These hitches are fantastic I bought a new car Saturday order the hitch on Monday installed it Saturday that's how much I like these hitches I did not wait to order it or install it.. I would say it took me about 45 minutes to install it I was not in a big hurry and took my time and I took a break too. The only thing that you have to do that makes it a lot easier to install on the driver's side back of course you can see in the picture that is silver Bolt it holds the fuel line you need to remove it to get access the bigger hole behind it to slide fish your bolt through it is a little tight but it does go through no drilling new holes at all that's it. Passenger side you can access the bigger hole with no problem nothing blocking it. Again these hitches are fantastic very easy to install I use them to haul. My bicycles around." GuyBob 693857

    Someone has a youtube clip of installing your hitch, too!

    Every little bit of information helps the first time doing something like this!
