As most of you know I sold a chassie about a week ago.
Ok here goes;
I sent it by YRC....the chassie made it in tact and the buyer is very happy he received it in one piece undamaged.
Thing is when he received it the crate had 4 holes through the crate by a fork lift. Barely missing the chassie. We got extremely lucky.
YRC was with most of the other freight carriers so I didn't take the lowes price, I just picked the one closest to the buyers residence for his convenience.
I am going to see if I can get some pictures of the crate from the buyer to give to YRC.
I am not very happy that the chassie could have been destroyed by someone that did not know how to handle it with a fork lift.
So be warned guys and girls.
Max.
I am Editing this Post fyi.
I am told it is a standard practice in the Shipping industry they do not offer additional insurance but you may request additional insurance.
Example; If you ship a Drag Chassie and it is used they will cover it for .50 per pound if damaged,mine was insured.
So beware folks and ask a lot of questions when shipping with ANY carrier or you could loose big time.
I just feel lucky I don't have to try to deal with these folks on a claim, I can only imagine how that would go.
