FedEX did better by me.

Guy sends me a nice SP-600. Guy did a terrible pack on the set. He used a throwaway style beer cooler for packing material inside a single cardboard box. The set didn't even fit in the cooler. He just cut out parts of the corners and laid it against the set. Packed with peanuts and set was loose inside a big FedEx box. Needless to say, got here with a hole in side of the box where the set bashed its way thru the box. Wife signs for box accepting shipment(!) and delivery guy runs off. I explain to her to check shipments from for damage. Don't accept busted containers ! 

SP-600 chassis was trashed. Made claim and FedEX paid in full ! They took the set, but I got all my money back. Tragedy, as the SP-600 was nice.

I wouldn't be so sure yet. I had a well packed scanner that I sold to a 
guy in Texas. The box was punctured by something sharp that cut the 
screen of the scanner, and there were parts rattling around inside. The 
buyer shipped it back to me and I contacted UPS. It took a lot of long 
distance phone calling just to get someone to listen to my story. I 
ended up talking to a regional manager in Birmingham, Al. A sarcastic 
inspector came out and asked if it was still under warranty, which it 
was. He told me to send it in for a warranty repair. The only way I got 
my money for the damage was my wife witnessed that statement and UPS 
didn't want a fraud complaint from us.j They paid up but they let me 
know they didn't want to.

As Tony Soprano would say, "whatcha gonna do?"
