Subject: Re: Poor FEDEX service
It's on mine... They broke two pieces of my mothers wedgewood china and
stole, yes, stole, all her jewlery - which
I insured for $3,000 - it was 1985 - she had just died -- I sent her
tapestry bags, a small collection of coins and her
2 carat diamond ring (it may even have been 3 carats ) in a box back home
. 7 boxes arrived safely (except for the
china breakage) the last one never appeared... they had not told me about
triple signature... (not necessary today, I
have heard) I'm sure the local fedexers in Houston looked at the luittle
box that was insured for $3,000 and it suddenly
"got lost" . THey made good on the amount I said -- but I have a feeling
it was worth more.. between my grief and the
other stuff I had to deal with ... it had not occured to me... and I only
sent the ring because I was afraid to wear it!.
Believe it or not, the best people I've dealt with as far as getting
reliable deliveries is the USPS. If I have a choice between UPS and the
postal service, I'll take the postal service.
absolutely - only way I'll send anything...
My brother works as the comptroller (I think that's the term) for a jewelry
manufacturer. He tells me that they have yet to find a reliable shipper of
jewelry, to the point that when it was time to send some of my Grandmother's
jewelry to a family member a couple of provinces over, he waited until a
family member was headed in that direction and had it delivered by hand.
