Fed-Ex/Mears Insurance Claim
So I just got done filing a complete loss insurance claim through Fed-Ex. They so called "delivered" my package today and left at front door. (No signature required) Package was not delivered and I even had someone at the house while I was at work today. So I guess it's my word against Fed-Ex when it comes to the claim and getting a refund? Online since there wasn't a signature required the only "proof" they have that it was delivered is 2:59pm left at front door. I'm just frustrated I guess. Anyone else have non delivery insurance claims and what was the result?

Ups
I had a 1K claim through UPS..same deal they said it was left outside...no package. I had it insured for 1K although the value was more like 3K. Ouch, Dave. UPS paid claim very quickly as I recall.

The wording on the Fed Ex claim was something to the affect of amount I paid for items and a separate blank for value of items. I couldn't image any company would give you refund for value as opposed to what you paid. I had to submit a copy of my MEARS invoice of what I paid and will be happy to get that back.

Yeah I'm not a real big fan of the "no signature required" type of delivery.

I swear by the good ol' USPS. My rule is that anything over $250.00 requires a signature (outgoing or incoming) but I also only live 5 blocks from my post office so I don't mind missing the package and walking to pick it up.

I wonder if many of the drivers are told to do the ring and dash. I have watched a driver come to my front door, ring the bell and turn around and leave. They are not waiting for you to answer. The bell ring is a "courtesy" I suppose to let you know it arrived. If you don't hear it, you have to stumble upon your package later.
Saves time, but can lead to many problems with "non-delivery" or theft. I have all of my collectibles come to my work address. Someone is always there and it is as safe as anything, plus then the address I share with the world is not where my collection is housed. Further protection...you never know when someone may try something funny because they have your home address!! Buy or trade for $1000s of items and then give someone a map to your front door!! Maybe I am a tad paranoid and I don't even live in the "bad area" of town, just like to be cautious. |

I hear ya about being pararnoid, I will not even talk about my collection or show any pics on Facebook or anything. I tell my closest of friends not to mention my collection to strangers, because heaven forbid they get my address then.......

As a former UPS driver, that's exactly what you are trained to do for most house deliveries. If you wait for everybody to come to the door, you won't keep your job for very long. As a 6 year cover driver who often had to fill in for other drivers routes I wasn't familiar with, it was of even more importance that you finish your deliveries as quickly as possible, to make up all the time you were losing by not actually knowing the structure of the route you were on. They also kept detailed statistics on every aspect of your day, and packages brought back to the building was one of the things that were highly frowned upon. Unless a package specifically said "Signature Required", you were expected to find a way to deliver it. |
