I live in New York State.I have been shipping with Fedex ground for several years.I call there 800 number for shipping quotes.When quotes are given the higher the value of the item the more you pay for insurance.Now after filing my first claim for an item which was insured for $799.00 I receive a letter stating that I will only receive $100.00 because artwork cannot be insured for over $100.00. but I paid for $799.00 insurance.Fedex took my money.They also now will not return the damaged item. They lost it.They say they own it. I did not accept their check for $100.00. Fedex is charging customers additional fees for insurance, taking their money and have no intentiion of paying the claims. The customer is paying for something that isn't even available.Fedex figures if you don't ask we won't tell you.Somewhere in a manual is a list of items that they will only pay a max of $100.00. How many people have access to their manual. When you call an speak to the rep you are made to believe that you are covered by their insurance. I even have a tape recording getting a Fedex quote when the person assures me that the quote I just received to my painting is insured for $700.00.I had paid numbers of time to have my packages insured for over $100.00.They are making millions of dollars off of people who are paying these fees every day. customers who think their package are insured.I want to sue. Most of all I want public to be aware that this is happening. They are paying for coverage they are not receiving.
