Small Claims vs. Big Tech

[quincy]

... It would be better if you had such photos, but the court would likely accept your testimony that the damage did not exist at the time you placed the item with the shipping company (which testimony is likely to be uncontradicted). Your problem, as noted above, is that you likely have no ability to prove that the manufacturer, as opposed to the shipping carrier, caused the damage. You could try suing both the manufacturer and the shipping carrier, but you likely agreed to a waiver in favor of the shipper. Did you?

Yep...about .1%

And that is being generous.
