Microsoft Corp. is suing DHL Express Inc. in U.S. District Court in Seattle over a damaged shipment of 21,600 Xbox consoles that the Redmond, Wash.-based computer giant said the shipper won’t pay for.
In the suit, Microsoft alleges the 21,600 units, valued at more than $2 million, were damaged in a train derailment last October in Duke, Texas, after being unloaded from a port in McAllen, Texas.
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) alleges the 12 containers of games were damaged by “impact damage, wetting, pilferage and shortage allegedly as a result of train derailment.”
“At no time has plaintiff (Microsoft) been compensated for its damages ... by defendant (DHL), despite demands made therefore. Defendant has refused and continues to refuse to pay plaintiff’s damages,” Microsoft’s suit alleges.
