FedEx lost my poster

yoke

I am just letting anyone know what the status is here.....

My posters(2) arrived the other day and needless to say the tube wasn't in the best of shape. I have the posters on my Matting table( I mat photos) in my basement and I am flattening them(only after a few days they look pretty good). I think that I actually maybe able to frame one. Oh, I actually sent my claim out a few weeks back so we will see what happens.

Its official I just found out today that they lost my West Palm Beach poster.

I thought I was being smart when I decided to ship it back to my house from West Pam Beach when I was on vacation. I figured it would be safer if I wrapped it up and stuck it in a tube and sent it home. I guess I was wrong on that one. Now I have to try and come up with the Value of it for my claim with FedEx. Has anyone ever done that before? Also, I am in the market for a poster if anyone has an extra:).

Did FEDEX tell you if they pay for the cost or what it would take to replace it?

I am pretty sure it's cost, but if they will pay value, look around online (i.e. EBAY) and see what you would have to pay to get another!

Take care,

They will only pay you what you paid for it and you have to produce a receipt. At least that's what I had to do when I filed a claim once.

Thats the poblem I am having now... there is no receipt(got it at t he show) and BigPop is sold out so I can't really show "value". The only thing that I can do is show expresso beans prices. I don't know if that will fly but thats all I can do.It was insured to $100 but like you said without a receipt it will be hard to prove.

I'm thinking that you could probably "come up with a receipt" if you know what I mean?

Or just show them a receipt for anything that you purchased that was around the insured amount. They don't know what was in the package. I've seen it done before.

I actually have one of those, I am a photographer and I have to write them out for people all the time. I could try that also.
