You were in contact with the customer as soon as he opened the claim! The fact
that you told him to get lost and then re-opened the case after this horrible
publicity just shows you are incompetent, greedy AND spineless. Write him a
cheque and make this go away if you have any sense whatsoever. Terrible
business sense, terrible customer service. Embarrassment of a national
carrier.
At this point I'd suggest the few thousands you'll need to spend on sorting
him out with a new bike far outstrips the negative publicity this is
generating on a daily basis (have you seen your facebook feed? it's pretty
shocking)
Paying up doesn't absolve you of your heinous actions up to this point but it
will diffuse this story, which is something you could, and should, have done
at the start.
Lesson take home? In this day and age you can't get away with terrible
customer service failures and expect them to just go away. Run your business
properly and this could have been avoided.
Oh, and p.s. If you can't safely transport goods maybe you shouldn't charge
$100s to try?? I don't pay you to 'try' and get me and my stuff places, I pay
you to succeed.
