if you care deeply for your cue, i wouldnt consider checking it in. I bought a brand new rolling luggage bag for my last trip, and by the time i picked it up at baggage claim, the wheels were smashed, and it looked like they played football with it.
People who work baggage at air ports do not handle with care. Its b just a piece of baggage. No big deal, maybe if it was theirs they might care.
The airline ticket has all sort of terms, conditions, you are subject to if you fly, and check belongings. Printed on ticket, who reads this fine print?
The airlines liability is limited, so why should they care if they lose, damage, or destroy your checked property?
Same applies to USPS, UPS, or FedX its just a package.
Actually had FedX Ground run over a Long Wood Shipping Container made or 2 x 4’s, and Plywood. After I stood off, before it got to person sent to
Took over 6 month to get paid off because of their employee neglect.
Contents went from be Custom Flintlock Rifle, to Scrap Metal, and many Pieces of Wood.
Guy on receiving end got all the pieces in black plastic bags. His photos of shipping contained showed tire marks.
That was my last dealing with FedX, claim process is ugly.
