A few years go I had a BMW m3 convertible . It needed a starter. The shop that I took it to ordered the part, then sat on the job for a month and chickened out on doing it. It is a nightmare of a job. I pulled the car, took it to another place to have it done. Since at that point the shop had the starter, I purchased it from them instead of waiting for another one to be ordered on a lead time and provided it with the car.
Long story short, the shop installed the starter which turned out to be a factory reject. The BMW dealer that the part came from warranted the part, but the shop that did the job got me for 2x the labor as it had to be done twice. It was a 6-8 hour job each time...
The moral of the story is that if you supply your own parts, it's on you... The comment by someone stating that winnisquam should have paid the mechanic is foolish.
In this case the mechanic is at fault in that they installed parts without verifying they were correct. You also carry fault in that you went to pick up the parts and did not verify the parts you picked up against the list.
I wasnt there so I don't know if they really didn't provide you with what you asked for, all I can do is comment on your own admissions.
Installed electrical parts in general are usually non-returnable anywhere if taken out of the box. Doesn't matters if it is auto, Rv, power sports or marine.
