I purchased an expensive car part about $1000 and shipping was $50 UPS. The insurance was never discussed since $50 for a lightweight product is a little high. They business now claims I never asked for insurance. I figured it was added since this is a high dollar/rare product.

Anyways a month goes by and no product. dispute was made in paypal, but it doesnt seem it will go anywhere. they say they have a receipt that boxes were shipped, but unsure if the receipt, but who knows. do I have a case? do i have an actual chance at winning? I'm in southern California and they're in Michigan, where would I even file a small claims? Is it even worth fighting for? $1000 good is a chunk of change. Any advice would be helpful and greatly appreciated.
