Another bad experience with Fedex
Hi Darren,
In 2006, a YG VH Antiqua, returning to his owner after servicing, was "lost" in the Fedex premises in LA ! No need to say that it was never retrieved.
Moreover, this was the opportunity to learn that the Fedex insurance liabiity for watches was limited to 500 USD while the cost of the insurance - as based on the value of the watch - was about 450 USD.
Happily enough, we also have a company transport insurance.
But it took more than 6 months before we were able to deliver a replacement watch to the customer and , of course, we could not replace the sentimental value of his initial watch.
Perhaps you should sue Fedex for inexcusable fault and claim for the another 2 years you will have to wait for.
Cheers
Philippe
A missing timepiece - Uggggh
Needed a virtual shoulder to cry on, so figured this was the place. Learned last week that my Christian Klings was regulated, packed and on its way to the United States. A very happy day indeed. Now the waiting game begins. First a call from customs, and ...
I'm always worried, with these Shipping things, Darren.
But I'm sure you will have news soon... And good news! Keep us updated, my friend. All the best, Nicolas
Hopefully the sender fully insured your watch
but the big price to pay is the 2 year wait of anticipation Hopefully FedEx can find the package for you. Good luck, Anthony
Goodluck!
I feel for you, about 5 years ago i sent a SS Daytona El Primero in for service. When they sent it back it got lost and or sent to the wrong address. I spent months communicating with UPS, Rolex and others. Turns out it was shipped to the wrong address an...
Good luck Darren, hope your watch turns up!
I'm so sorry about what happened to you! I really hope you'll have the watch back in your hands before long! It's frightening to read stories like these! I'm always sceptical of sending watches to the manufactures in private, not just because of the poten...
Darren, I too would like to add my good wishes........
I have no idea, how you must be feeling right now. But having waited two years for your piece to be returned, I truely hope that it has a happy ending.
Our worst nightmare!
It is easy to worry about shipping such valuable items. Your story adds to these concerns. Let us know the final outcome. And good luck in your recovery efforts. tempusfugit
Good luck Darren....
I had this happen to me once with a shipment, and it is indeed a sick feeling, though yours must be compounded by the unique nature of your watch and the long wait. I hope you have a good outcome, just as I eventually did. Bill
Just horrible, Darren ...
You must be going through a whole range of emotions at the moment: frustration, sadness, anger ... It's still early days and hopefully there are some understanding and helpful people at FedEx and the receiving company. Best wishes for a good outcome and k...

Darren, I feel your pain!
You poor thing. I hope it was properly insured. I pray that you get your watch pronto. BHM
Oh my god....
what a horror story. I don't know what the transport and insurance cost, but I think the price of a flight to pick up the watch personally may be a worthwhile investment just in peace of mind. I hope they find your watch and that this turns out well. Don
Darren, I wish you luck
Because your watch was abducted and stolen by criminal(s)! Whether that has anything to do with the insurance-transport company, the police, or any other authority - I can't know. But watches - and other things - usually "don't go missing", Baggage on an ...
