YRC picked up and delivered my household goods and shipped them across country. Upon arrival 4 of the boxes appeared severely damaged and were "floating" in the semi trailer. Since my merchandise was last to be delivered, these boxes were allowed to shift in a open trailer with no restraint. The boxes had the look of "being kickboxed" for hours. The contents were in shards, not just broken, they were annihilated.
Howard claims this is standard treatment and the cost of that merchandise is not material. He is paying me standard reimbursement of $. 10 per pound.
The remainder of my shipment was fine, standard amount of damage. Since I have participated in 5 moves over the last 2 years I am aware of the level of expected damage and have not made a claim before.
These 4 boxes suffered gross negligence on the part of the shipper. This claim should be re-evaluated and reimbursed.
