customer warranty experiences

Quick success: Customers who supplied thorough documentation (photos, invoices) often had claims approved in under a week.

Claim denial: Poor packaging is the #1 reason for denied claims (FedEx may rule damage was preventable).

Tips from shippers: Always document with photos, save packaging, and file claims immediately. Persistence and escalation can overturn denials in some cases.
