FedEx shipping damage


I recently sold my KEF R11’s shipped in original boxes & packaging to UT. Somewhere along the way they sustained significant damage arriving at the buyers home with significant damage to the boxes resulting in several corners of speakers being badly dented, although they seem to work (amazingly).  
I over insured (double sell) in case one was lost or damaged as the pair would then be useless… never thought it could happen to both. 

I submitted a FedEx claim, with damage pictures & other supporting information & consider the speakers totaled. 7-14 days for FedEx resolution. 

I have never experienced this issue, so I am asking for any ‘got ya’, anything to watch out for, or any other recommendations to bring this to a favorable solution. Thank you.

The two times I've sold speakers and had to ship them they arrived damaged.

Once with UPS, once with Fedex.

I did not use a pallet either time.

The hassle with insurance was agonizing.

Very thankful I now have (for me) end-game speakers that I love.

 

 

 

 

 

Progress report… so far this has been relatively painless. After the initial submission, with before & after box pictures & speaker pictures, they requested 2 things: 1. Pictures of the shipping labels. This would verify the damaged boxes were my actual shipment. 2. Pictures of all the packing materials laid out with the boxes, to ensure they were properly packed. 
With the receipt of those items, he stated he was submitting for payment.
Perhaps I am lucky, or if you saw the damage to the boxes, (caved in, taped back together) there was no denying major shipping damage. We shall see.
