I paid $300 new for the phone and they said well it was used o we are only paying you $90. Next time I ship my custom motorcycle parts to a painter to be painted. After he finishes painting the parts he ships them back and again they "lose them". I file the claim and they tell me you cannot file a claim only the shipper can. He files the claim and then they say we will pay for them but we are going to pay the painter because he shipped them he tells them to pay me because they are my parts they refuse and pay him. Luckily he is an honest guy and sends me the money.
UPS then calls me and tells me they found the parts in Arizona in an unmarked box not even the box they were shipped in. How did they end up in a different box thousands of miles away?
Now for the icing on the cake I sold a 911 dash in near perfect condition on ebay. I ship it UPS again my mistake and the buyer calls me and tells me that the dash is cracked in half. He says I know you did not ship it this way so UPS damaged it. I file a claim and guess what they find that the damage is my fault because I did not have enough padding around the dash. It is plain to see one of there experts placed a heavy box on top of it and caused this damage. The worst part of it is not the fact I am out the money but they destroyed a nice 911 dash.
So as I said this time I am filing a small claims case against them, hopefully I get a judge who is as tired as I am of seeing big companies screw over the little guy and finds in my favor.
I have had the same problems in the past, and got the same BS excuses, I even provided before pix, pix while packing & finial packed pix for a one year only concours part they destroyed.
1st they said it wasn't insured, course that was easily disproven.
2nd they said it wasn't properly packed, again, easily disproven.
3rd they said it was packed so well, there was no way "they" damaged it, must have been shipped that way Course, I had pix that proved otherwise (anyone who has done Concours or delt with people restoring Concours people know how detailed they are and I made sure he had every angle of the part and every step of packing.
They still refused to make it right
