Bad luck on Fedex shipment

[EMPIRETECANDY]

Hey guys

We have 15 boxes of cams for a customer on fedex truck, but totally destoyed by train and truck at WI on 24th.April. Lucky thing is the driver just little injured. We bought insurance. But will effect clients to get the orders.This is the first time meet this.

I guess there will be new cams popping up in that neighborhood. Or can we expect a major update to the refurbished list?
But agree, good thing if noone is injured.

I think the train company need to buy better cameras, I think someone meant to buy Hikivision but got Sinovision .
Having IVS rule for detecting a vehicle on tracks may have prevented this.

Didn't we each have the $2,000 PTZ in that shipment that was destroyed

FedEx are the worst, doesn't surprise me that they tried to get in a fight with a train.

My last FedEx delivery got delivered to my house number but a few streets away. They were zero help whatsoever, wouldn't even send me a photo of the delivery so I could try and figure out where it was delivered to.

I ended up just guessing that they might have been dumb enough to try and delivery to my number on a different street and just knocked on a few doors till I found my delivery

Hey Andy, does that mean you will be having a "scratch and dent" sale soon??

 

[SpacemanSpiff]

Glad driver is okay. Makes me wonder if the crossing is malfunctioning, or the driver chose to engage in a contest which will never end well.

Are those my 3 cameras Andy????
I've received the NVR yesterday, guess it was on a different truck.

aha, the shipment is from HONGKONG via sea shipping and pick up via fedex in US and ship to customer, all directly to a client.

Did they pick up the debris and send back to you any that were not completely destroyed or did the locals make out with looting the place LOL

We could do a review on cameras that were hit by a train to show how good these are LOL

That shipment also HAS BIG delayed because of Matson vessel broken, going crazy, now they need to move all containers to another vessel.

I think those cams still can work, lol, most of them are good protection. But fedex already told us to go on insurance for the lost

 

[wittaj]

Heck our Amazon deliveries probably get more abuse than these cameras did

FWIW, I believe Sinovision is a U.S.-based Chinese language television network and they placed their logo/brand on the images that Andy received in Hong Kong and then posted here.

There's a saying in the U.S. regarding trains, crossing gates and vehicles......the train is coming through, gates down or not. Basically, even if a vehicle was detected on the track it will most likely NOT be able to stop the train......especially if it's pulling 100 cars with 3 engines and doing 45 MPH; a workable warning would have to reach the engineer at least a mile in advance.

Which is why it's up to the motorist to be extra careful at RR crossings....that FedEx truck can stop on a dime compared to that train. I'll wager he was distracted and not paying attention.

I wonder if FedEx bundles all damaged goods and auctions them off? Lately, with FedEx, I have been getting an email at time of delivery with an image showing the package at my door.

If you’re in the habit of sending and receiving packages through FedEx, then there’s a good chance. Here's the FedEx reunion.

They sometimes do bad work, we lost some parcels before, some are really big box and they say lost, I think label destoryed and they sell them if can't find the sender. So we always buy insurance every shipment.

 

[wittaj]

That is a shame YOU have to buy insurance when it is clearly THEIR issue!

Maybe your was $2k but I had ordered 3 of the $3k model! lol
