Looks like you need to read the contractual agreement. I would doubt if the original sales receipt because I would think that the contractual agreement is to ship the itme from one person to another without regards to the specific item itself. But you do need to look at any limitations they have with regards to packaged items to determine if they are requirements that would allow them to escape.
HELP Federal Express broke it and WON'T PAY
The speakers were shipped Fed Ex COD insured for the value paid ($1800) purchased used from a private party. One speaker was chipped slightly on the side during shipping. It was packed in original packing. It will cost $400 to repair plus round trip shipping plus $80 for a new box.
Fed Ex is refusing to pay because I don't have an "original sales invoice". Perverse luck would have it, the seller has moved overseas.
What's frustrating is that every person at Fed Ex that I speak with is an automoton. They act like a robot quoting rules. I used to love to use Fed Ex and happily pay extra for it. Now I would go out of my way to avoid using them.
I need some help here. How to break through the beaurocratic nonsense and get this claim paid! Is there someone HUMAN I can contact at Fed Ex about this? Do I have to take this to small claims court?
Thank you.
