Preparing a claim before the Ontario Small Claims Court.
We paid Meest Canada for an international shipment from Canada to France. We paid approximately CAD 100 for the shipment and around CAD 15 for insurance, for a declared parcel value of about CAD 260.
The parcel was never delivered. UPS acknowledged that the parcel was lost and confirmed that it reimbursed Meest CAD 115.
For weeks, UPS and Meest left us waiting with no real solution. UPS provided vague and unclear answers, while Meest Canada did not provide any proper response at all. Meest did not answer our online reimbursement request and did not reply to my emails to customer service.
However, Meest has not reimbursed us anything. Meest received payment from us for the shipment and the insurance, then also received reimbursement from UPS, while we remain without the parcel and without any refund.
What makes this even more unacceptable is that Meest apparently did not insure the shipment with UPS for the declared parcel value, even though Meest charged us for insurance.
We submitted an online reimbursement request to Meest Canada, but they have not handled it properly. They do not answer our reimbursement request and they do not even reply to my emails to customer service.
This is completely unacceptable. Meest was paid by us, received reimbursement from UPS, and still leaves the customer with no parcel and no refund.
I am currently preparing a claim to be filed with the Ontario Small Claims Court. I will seek reimbursement of the parcel value, the shipping costs, the insurance paid, and all costs incurred as a result of this matter. We have all invoices and evidence, including UPS’s confirmation that the parcel was lost and that Meest was reimbursed.
