clouduz Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 yea if i were you I would file a claim and get a brand new one. It's like buying a new house or anything for that matter you wouldn't want to buy a new car but let someone ride through mud or whatever b/c you never know what might break down the road. Might want to do it soon especially with the holidays coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegonrumble Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 FedEx fucking sucks, I know I work there. They have a thing called 50 by 10 which means they are trying to reduce the amout of claims by 50% by the 2010 fiscal year. If you scan and load a box that is either leaking something or has had something leaked on it or is open and you do nothing about it, you get written up and most likely fired. About 90% of the loaders at FedEx are complete jerk offs that have no idea on how to load a trailer or treat a package. If those subs weight atleast 75 lbs or more they are considered incompatables meaning they dont come down the chutes in to the trailers. They get picked off of a conveyer belt by some asshole that is to slow to load and is put on the belt, they will most likely let it fall to the ground from about 3 feet, it will then be loaded into a trailer by an even bigger asshole called the IC loader. Most of the dont know how to do their jobs right either. Now if they come down the chute they get loaded into the trailer by a regular loader who giving the destination will most likely fucking drop it and be a complete douche or toss it in the belly of the trailer. Anyways my point is fuck FedEx! I am actually a good loader and build correct walls and dont throw shit because I like having a job and I wouldnt want anything of mine completely destroyed by some asshole that I will never meet and not have the opportunity to beat the ass of. My sincerest apologies go out to you and your subs old dude.......thats a load off of my chest Quote and i dont mind her in the sack ahahah soo i might just play it off as nothing keep my dick wet but aint spending no mo money - tudski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I go UPS, even if it is more expensive. I hope you filed a claim anyway. If it had a forklift hole in it, it's possible they dropped it half-a-dozen times. or more.

My sincerest apologies go out to you and your subs old dude.......thats a load off of my chest i know know there are good loaders and pickers that like their jobs at fedex just like you. i called and went through the process of filling a claim they said they would pickup everything and evaluate how it was packed and then get with DC audio to work out a remedy. sounds like a pain in the ass for everyone just because of some cosmetic damage. it really dosnt appear that the motors shifted any. i did take pictures of the damage and the boxes. i should be good somebody higher up usualy looks out for me pretty good.

It could have been a forklift but I don't think it was I run one at work but that don't make me a pro but it wasn't that big or deep. The foam deff protected it, I inspected it very good. I was just a little worried when I first seen the hole. I have to say UPS lost half of my liftkit for my Toyota. They delivered a open box to my door and left. A signiture was not required, I had to open a claim with them. So I guess they all have horror storys about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a few forklift holes at my current job. If they just barely tapped it, it would be shallow. It could have also been kicked really hard. My UPS has never given me any problems. sometimes I've even received my packages 1 day before scheduled delivery!

HHR Ed Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Usually when you file a claim, they will hold on to the item for a few months while the claim is investigated. And if you didnt take pics right away and have the delivery driver take the item back right away, then there is an extremely small chance the claim will go in your favor. So pretty much since you already took possession, just hang on to it, otherwise you will be out of a sub for a few months and nothing will come of it.
