    Tempest -Shipper flooded it in 2 feet of water!! UPDATE.

    I think you are correct, but in my area, at least, they used Redman (United Van Lines) Moving & Storage. Their guys seemed to be familiar with moving strange items. They have a shorter semi with a lift gate, and they took time to unpack the shipment and asked me to look it over prior to...

    Tempest -Shipper flooded it in 2 feet of water!! UPDATE.

    Yeah, "Bob" was just a generic placeholder name for one of the many people here who offer services. No offense meant for the actual Bob.

    Tempest -Shipper flooded it in 2 feet of water!! UPDATE.

    Ok. I FINALLY resolved my dispute on this so I wanted to share some of the stuff I learned about shipping and making a claim, as I made a couple mistakes. At least I'm getting the majority of my loss paid for, and If I part out the rest, I think I can get pretty close to break even -- Since my...

    Yes, delivered shrink wrapped, not a word. My wife had him put it in the garage. I came home, opened it and had the proverbial oh Sh!@# moment.

    Tempest -Shipper flooded it in 2 feet of water!! UPDATE.

    I think these uship guys will do loops and out and back runs. I think they offload cargo to store or transfer to partners in order to make a given route more profitable. My guess is this was in a low lying storage unit when one of those tropical storms or hurricanes hit. I have video/photos...

    Tempest -Shipper flooded it in 2 feet of water!! UPDATE.

    Yeah, they have tried to make it real difficult. They keep asking for more things. I have already given them examples of machine replacement costs, before & after photos, statement from seller, etc.. Each time I submit something they ask for something else, and they wait a week to respond...

    Tempest -Shipper flooded it in 2 feet of water!! UPDATE.

    Thanks, I didn't realize you can find cabinets out there for Tempest. Maybe I can find a good one and between the two save a game for posterity. After they pay me out for mine, that is.

    Tempest -Shipper flooded it in 2 feet of water!! UPDATE.

    Thanks! I agree, I am going to push for this, but they make you jump over all these hurdles. I think they want to run the claim as if it's a late model car, where everything has a cost and there is enough value to repair things. These machines are more like classic Italian or German cars...

    Tempest -Shipper flooded it in 2 feet of water!! UPDATE.

    Agreed, I just need to get a quote to justify this to the insurance company. I think they force you to get a repair estimate, not knowing that the machine is a total loss. Super irritating, but I'm just going to have to battle it out with them. If you know anyone who could get me a quote...

    Tempest -Shipper flooded it in 2 feet of water!! UPDATE.

    My bucket list Tempest machine was destroyed by the shipper. The shipper's insurance is fighting me every step of the way and has now asked me for a repair estimate as a part of the claim process. If you are someone who can handle a complete restoration (cabinet/electronics) and want to help...
