The actual arrival of the goods is irrelevant in this case. They are not fit for purpose. It falls foul of a bunch of UK law, including the one you are all taking about, s.75 of the Consumer Credit Act.
If an item is purchased, suppose a TV and week one, the TV breaks when powered on, the Act provides protection for the buyer. ie OMGVTEC could sue the credit card company in addition to the supplier or instead of the supplier, ie, severally liable.
Problem, here is he is in Canada and I haven`t got a feckin clue how that bit will work!

Yeah but my point was that to claim it's not fit for purpose you have to either not accept delivery in the first place or return the goods, no? You can't claim something's not fit and then keep it anyway

If the transcation was caried out using email ..... i.e. you have emails stating that the carriage was insured and by crate and that the fitting kit was included as part of the sale then you shouldn't have a problem getting the money back from the CC company.
I found this when dealing with Paypal.

I would be tempted to just return the top to the seller and do the chargeback. The damage and missing parts will then be his problem and as he caused them it's the fairest solution
@ private sale. Course it is..d'oh. All bets are off

Do the charge back via the CC company involve PayPal but don't wait for them.
I said Credit Card company requires goods to be returned, you make them openly available for collection by the seller at his expense, state they will be available for a reasonable time (14 days) and after such time they will be disposed of (fixed and put on your car).
Job done it's how I did it with a Modem supplier who supplied 2 modems 1 fecked 1 worked, I got refund for both and 14 days later had a FREE modem to play with as they failed to collect!
