F@*k You Fed Ex

I have been victimized by Fed Ex. How many of you have bought a piece of original art from the artist who just throws the art in the box with no protection. This is how they send it to Marvel but of course it has 23 pages to help protect it. Teer.....

Well I took a hot clothes Iron to it and I was able to flaten it out most of the way. It's still going to have creases that I will never be able to get out. Fed Ex is supposed to be coming by in around 2 hours. I'm hoping that we can work somthing out where I can keep the art and get a little of my money back. The cover cost me $700 so if they can give me $200 - $300 back I will be happy. But reguardless It's still the original art and I won't part with it. However I am really upset and heart broken over it.

That really sucks! At least it was somewhat salvagable. But still..... From what my sister-in-law tells me we are lucky to get anything intact, ever. With all the damage that occurs from Fed-Ex you'd think someone would file a class action. How are they about paying out claims? Will they want to keep the piece? I hope you get some satisfaction from them. I'd be puking my guts out. Stuff like that just p's me off.

Well I got double F'ed. The artist only declared the value as $5 so that's all I can claim. I paid $50 for shipping so I asked the guy if I could get my $50 back and he unfolded the label and showed me that the seller declared that I would pay for the shipping so by me calling the Fed Ex man I had to give him $52 in order to keep my package. The Fed ex man did not notice that today, that I had to pay the shipping. Arrggg...
