namdrib 0 #26 February 9, 2006 Quote Are you going to collect on the insurance? I have had several people tell me to do so, but I think that it would bring me bad Karma later on down the road, I just want someone's head on a platter and it would be really nice to get some kind of apology from the moron that did the drop. But like I said, the important thing is that my wife has her gear and is ready to jump. I think that NOT going after the money is the right thing to do. That always come back to bite you in the ass.Unknowing attempting to take out all 4 wheeled vehicles remotely close to the landing area! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #27 February 9, 2006 I would ask FedEx for a refund on the delivery and insurance charges since they didn't fulfill their end of the bargain (didn't deliver on time or with signature confirmation, let alone to the right place), but collecting on the insurance? That's not cool... if they'd lost the gear entirely, sure, but they didn't. I've had generally very good experiences with FedEx, but yeah, every delivery service screws up. FedEx is still my service of choice; I've found them the most consistently reliable."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reminded me of an incident a year or two ago. Our DZ was closed for about a month. at the time. One of my customers called me and told me his gear... everything, had been stolen! He told me that he had left it in the trunk of his car and when he came out of the gym one evening, his trunk was open and all his gear was gone! He filed an insurance claim and recieved a check in the amount to cover a Javelin Odyssey, Sabre-2, 170 and a PD reserve, etc. and all sorts of 'goodies'. He had taken a copy of Para-Gear with him to the insurance company and used that as an example to show what he had lost. In the mean-time, I had to go to the DZ to get some student rigs to work on. I was checking around and saw a gear bag. Whaddya know... it was the guy's gear!!! I called him, immediately and told him what I found. He later showed-up at the DZ with a Javelin Odyssey and etc., and sold the Dolphin and his other 'stolen' gear. I guess, that's how you collect on insurance.

What you are paying for is to declare a value onthe goods you shipped. If somthing happens and Fed Ex decides that they are at fault they will pay for the good whether you declared a value or not. If you don't declare the value though the the max they will pay is $100.
