Char-Broil
Grill box missing seven key parts and slow replacement

I too purchased a CharBroil grill. When I got it home I found 7 key parts missing in the box. The instruction manual says not to return it to the store but call them at a toll free number. (this was a mistake, TAKE IT BACK!!!) I did just that. I also sent a complaint to the less then user friendly web site:

Description: What happened to your quality control? I just bought a grill and the box was missing 7 key parts. At the price I paid, $170 I expect better packing of material then this. I'll be calling you tomorrow. I'm extremely disappointed in the quality of this product. I would expect you will make it right and offer some restitution for the gross inconvenience this caused. (case #203591).

I called them the next day as I sent the complaint to them after hours. They requested proof of purchase (not an unreasonable request). I faxed it to them. They then sent me the parts:
