Give me an education about this "PIRATE SHIP" method that has been discussed here.

I've only had a couple claims and neither were processed through pirateship. Those, one through FedEx and the other a total cluster-uck through International Priority Mail, were also both "ardously processed through email" including formal demand letters. Both resulted in successful full payments.
yeah it seems like when dealing with damaged shipments "arduous process" seems to be the rule, not the exception.

and forget anything "international". i sent a vintage motorcycle carb up to vancouver bc and you'd think that by the forms i had to fill out i was shipping uranium. then the fed-ex ding-a-lings smashed the thing like a pancake and had the audacity to say that it was like that when it shipped.

lots of emails, pictures, attachments, and phone time to make my customer whole again. and this was after i specifically went to a "fed-ex office & ship" and paid them to pack it, paid them to insure it and ship it.

no international shipping ever again. and fedex claim can die in a tire fire.

zero problems with the 2 or 3 claims that i've had in the literal 100's of packages i've shipped thru pirate. some minor hoop jumping, while irritating nothing like the cluster of anybody else.
