It's official, Fedex called and said my D100 is nowhere to be found. I had sent it to KY last week for upgrade. Until Fedex approves and pays the claim, (2-4 weeks, then order a new DSLR, another week+ -) It's back to the 990 and the Nikon Forum. See Ya!

This happened to me with a server before... It turned out they slammed it with a fork lift and claimed they couldn't find it... Then a weird coincidence happened, it showed up at our office a few days later all banged up.

I'd be curious to know how FedEx comes through on insurance payment on this loss.

Ha, you can still claim them of damaging the package!
Maybe you have pictures of the box?

Had an expensive ham radio damaged and they paid for brand new with no questions asked. In fact they did the best they could to pay twice.

No but it cost them $18G's! Then we send a PC out and they call us asking where to send the check... We replied, "For what?" They said, "your box fell off the truck and the truck ran it over!" That was another grand right there.

Sorry to hear that -- Shouldn't take more than 2 weeks --had a similar problem with computer equipment. Insurance claim was expedited because we claimed that it was an essential piece of equipment for the business (it was). Push them for this!

Relax. Bet you have your camera back by Friday. I sent mine on a friday and had it delivered the following thursday.
The problem with these kind of posts is that you are getting everyone all upset with Fed Ex way too early. Likley when your camera is back safely you will be so excited out shooting that we will never hear the end of the story.

Nikon since a long while back AND you can well add Fedex now.

Way too early: O boy! Everybody should be upset with
Nikon since a long while back AND you can well add Fedex now.

Actually, I didn't mean to mislead anyone but it wasn't Fedex, it was UPS that did these things to me... But, they're all pretty much the same even if UPS cares less about your packages then fedex does.

Who are you?? Have you read all the threads? Fedex called me and said they can't find it and to initiate a claim. I don't think posting a warning for others is out of line. I shipped 10 days ago, was supposed to be at Nikon last Wed. It's not been seen or accounted for since last Tues. Yes, it's lost/stolen. Great, I'm happy for you that yours went well. I'm looking at 4-6 weeks (according to Fedex) before I see a check, and then who knows how much longer till my dealer has stock available. Meanwhile, you'll be out shooting and I'll be trying to figure out how to keep all the commitments I've made. I'm just barely making it as it is, I don't need the extra expenses let alone the aggrevation.

Sorry Baywing. My comments may have been rather harsh but I really do feel for your frustration. I may have over reacted slightly due to all the other threads and complaining on this subject which which in most cases resulted in false alarms. In your case it surely does not look like a false alarm. Hope my comments have not added to your frustration and that you can get the claim resolved and get back shooting with your new D100 soon.
I have always thought of FedEx as the best of the ways we have of shipping valuables but now am starting to wonder. You may have mentioned it previously but did you send yours by their Air or Ground
service.

Thanks, Jim, no hard feelings. I do understand where you are coming from, it was/is not my intention to start the Nikon bashing all over again. My first thread was intended as a fact-finding one, hoping someone could provide info I hadn't thought of. This one was intended as a follow-up, as the other turned into that moan session I didn't want. People should know there is a risk every time you send something of any value, whether financial or sentimental. Yes, I have insurance, but the hassle to get the check I don't need. I don't usually over-react, and when Fedex calls and says it's missing, file a claim, I figure they know what they are talking about.
It went out Fedex Ground, as it was a 2 day service and it didn't seem to be a benefit to go 2 day air for more than twice the price. I have learned since then that Fedex Ground is the old Roadway Package Service that was notorious in this area for losing/destroying packages. Nevermore! Also, never put the contents on the form, if they insist, give them a Nikon part number or something that no one can recognize, I truly believe mine was stolen in Hartford, CT (it's last scan) because the counter people insisted I write "digital camera" on the form, which they proceeded to prominently display on the outside of the box. At that moment, I had a strong feeling I would never see it again. These feelings are usually correct.
Anybody know if Nikon has a D100N in the wings???
Finally, my apologies to you, Jim, the ultimate frustration of the situation led to a rather terse reply, it is obvious now, you didn't deserve it. Pitfall of the internet.....

"Fedex Ground is the old Roadway Package Service that was notorious in this area for losing/destroying packages. "
Baywig, not just in your area, but here in the Wash/MD/VA area as well. the FedEx GROUND service is, in a word.
HORRIBLE.
Repeat...H O R R I B L E.
It is not uncommon for the FedEx Ground service to take a 2 day shipment and turn it into a 2 WEEK service. HORRIBLE.
FexEx Air, on the other hand, is WONDERFULl. In fact, you will hear FedEx Air employees talk not to kindly about their "sister" company because people just assume the two are the same and it causes poor customer confidence for the air people.
I wish you well with your replacement.
f8 and be there
