Stolen Gear

[hunthearin]

I recently had my Roland Fantom X8, as well as an RME Fireface 800 shipped from school in Ohio to my home in Louisiana. After receiving all 9 of my other packages, none of which contained any gear, I became suspicious as the 10th and the 11th had not showed up. After checking my tracking numbers and calling the shipping center from which I had shipped the items, it was determined that the packages were "lost". The keyboard and rackmounted gear were both shipped in their big black ATA gator cases, and honestly, it is beyond me how packages that run on a tracking system can just suddenly become "lost". The keyboard even made it as far as Port Allen, LA, and was scanned out to delivery. This means that it made it all the way to the big brown truck before it mysteriously turned up missing. It is obvious that both of these packages were stolen.

Now to the Kicker

I insured the keyboard for 3000.00, but didn't insure the rackmounted gear. Is there any way to appeal to UPS so that I could possibly get my 1700.00 for the fireface? Does anyone have experience with this? Please let me know

Cheers,

Hunt
