Quoted from MT45:

For those that peruse this thread. A word of warning on using STI. Your experience may be different but mine was terrible. Fair compensation for several thousand dollars in damage and many hours of chasing claim forms and repair estimates ended with me getting a check for a few hundred dollars (freight weight compensation)

Just curious, what was the game insured for? Was the insurance payout less than the amount it was insured for? Was it possibly under insured? If the claim was paid based on weight, why were all the estimates required? I’m just curious because I ship a lot with STI. Fortunately I’ve only had one incident.

Quoted from darkryder:

I just had STI ship my Elvira LE cross country and they did a great job except for two chips they put in the powder coating. I know the damage occurred in transit because I have detailed pics of the game before it shipped. I took the risk and just glad the cabinet art was perfect and the chipped powder can be fixed. Ship at your own risk, it’s a gamble. The communication with those people is terrible as the previous poster mentioned. Expect sporadic one liner email responses and forget about reaching someone by phone.

Was the chipped powder noted on delivery? There’s probably a couple hundred dollars damage there.
