Des Importeurs Wunsch

Bei der Wahl der Beförderung von Postsendungen zeigte sich die Schweizer Behörde PTT offen für alles, was der Fahrzeugmarkt anbot. Davon profitierten konnte auch die Firma `Ferd. Schenk` in Worblaufen-Bern, die mit dem Import der Marke Tatra ab 1935 in der Schweiz Fuß fasste.

Bereits seit dem Jahr 1932 bot Tatra den Typ 57 an, ein 80 km/h schneller Personenwagen, aus dem ab 1936 der stark modifizierte Typ 57 A abgeleitet wurde. Der 1.155 cm³ große und 20 PS starke Vierzylinderantrieb sah auf den ersten Blick wie ein Boxermotor aus, war aber als 180° V-Motor konzipiert.

Ungefähr ab dem Jahr 1936 warb der Importeur bei der staatlichen Schweizer Poststelle und pries das Auto offenbar derart überzeugend den behördlichen Einkäufern an, dass diese einen Liefervertrag mit der Firma Schenk abschlossen. Um das Modell in den Postdienst übernehmen zu können, bekamen acht Autos einen großen Kastenaufbau am Heck verpasst. Vier Jahre später erfolgte die Übernahme von weiteren Tatra-Fahrzeugen in den behördlichen Postdienst. Im Jahre 1941 war jedoch der Typ 57 A nicht mehr im Sortiment. In erster Linie war es das Leistungsplus von 5 PS, wodurch sich ab 1938 die Modellbezeichnung in 57 B änderte. In dieser Version bereicherten fünf weitere Fahrzeuge den PTT-Fuhrpark. Im Jahre 1947 erfolgte die Übernahme von zehn weiteren Fahrzeugen, die ebenfalls einen geänderten Heckaufbau bekamen. Die Anpassung der erforderlichen Blecharbeiten nahm diesmal die Firma `Reber & Sohn` in Bern vor. Bereits ein Jahr später orderte die Post nochmals sechs Fahrzeuge, ebenfalls mit dem Aufbau von `Reber & Sohn`. Im Gegensatz zu dem erstmaligen Tatra-Umbau aus dem Jahr 1937 fällt auf, wie harmonisch sich der neugestaltete hintere Bereich nun in die Gesamtkarosserie einfügte.

Le souhait de l’importateur

Pour livrer les envois postaux, les « PTT » suisses étaient ouverts à tout ce que le marché des véhicules pouvait offrir.

A cette époque, la société ‘Fred. Schenk', située à Worblaufen-Berne, qui importait en Suisse la marque 'Tatra' depuis 1935, s’intéressa de près à ce marché important.

Depuis 1932, Tatra proposait le Type 57, une voiture de tourisme rapide (80 km/h) dont le Type 57 A, fortement modifié en 1936, était dérivé. Le moteur quatre cylindres de 1 155 cm3 et 20 cv apparaissait d'abord comme un moteur boxer, mais il suffisait d’un coup d'œil, pour voir qu’il était conçu comme un moteur en V à 180°.

Vers 1936, l'importateur Schenk propose cette voiture aux acheteurs des PTT suisses. Visiblement très convaincant, il décroche un contrat pour équiper le département Transport des PTT.

Afin d’ajuster le modèle aux besoins du service postal, les huit premiers véhicules sont équipés d'une carrosserie fourgon à l'arrière. En 1941, cinq véhicules supplémentaires rejoignent la flotte des PTT. Mais le Type 57 A est remplacé par le Tatra 57 B, dont la puissance moteur est augmentée de 5cv.

En 1947, dix autres véhicules sont équipés d’une structure arrière modifiée. Cette fois, c’est l'entreprise 'Reber & Sohn' à Berne qui réalise les travaux de tôlerie requis. Un an plus tard, la Poste commande six autres véhicules, également équipés de la carrosserie de « Reber & Sohn ».

Contrairement à la première conversion Tatra de 1937, il est frappant de constater à quel point la zone arrière nouvellement conçue s'intègre harmonieusement dans la carrosserie complète de la voiture.

Good Coverage But...
Asurion had me to package up my Ipad and send to them to research the problem with it overheating and cracking the screen near the home button. The turnaround was about 6 days from when i shipped it next day and them returning the device. When I began to setup the IPad the first thing I notice was an error message stating touch id could not be setup on the device (it worked previously) and the ipad still got hot when charging. I had to return it to them a second time to "resolve" the issue. They determined they couldn't fix the issue and returned the cost of the device. The only problem is you can't replace a device for what it cost at that time of purchase, especially now when prices have soared. They need to fix or replace the device at the cost of what iit costs at the time of replacement.

They sent me a Amazon gift card
I insured an iPad for my son and had it repaired multiple times from him stepping on it. Quick and fast repairs. The last time he accidentally damaged it they sent me an Amazon gift card for the full price I originally paid for it. I was able to use the gift card right away because it was digital. I used it on an iPad that was on sale for half the original price so I was able to get him the night light he always wanted. Best service available and I insured this iPad right away with them.

They will do anything to get out of fixing or replacing your item.
I bought a refurbished Samsung Galaxy Tablet S6 from Amazon through Affirm. I've already had the tablet for nearly 3 months. The tablet is defective. After barely 3 months it won't charge. I attempted to file a claim. The Asurion website tells me to return the item. Samsung doesn't make these tablets anymore. You cannot buy a brand new tablet of this model. They aren't sold online. The reason I bought the warranty which was over $100 is so that Asurion will fix the tablet if there is a problem. They were unwilling to make any effort to repair or fix this rare tablet. The website says to return the item. This is a lengthy return process. Amazon will not give me a QR code or let me print a label that I can take to a local UPS store. The only place Amazon will let me drop off the item is 2 or 3 towns away. The only option Amazon is giving me is to have UPS come pick up the tablet without giving me a label. I had to purchase a box from UPS and have them package it for me without providing me a label because Amazon says I don't need one. On the first attempt the UPS guy wasn't able to pickup the item because they need a special kind of form and my UPS driver didn't have the form. I have to wait until a UPS driver with the proper form is able to pick up my item before they can start the return process. Now I can't buy a Samsung Galaxy Tablet S6 from Amazon unless I want to go through this or a similar process every time an Amazon 3rd party seller sells me a defective product. Thanks for nothing Asurion. I'm going to start buying my electronics in person from Best Buy. They sell electronics that work and they immediately replace damaged and defective items that are under warranty. Amazon should ban Asurion from selling warranties on their website. They are selling warranties that they have no intention of providing the end product for. This is the second I've had a problem with Asurion. The first time I had a problem with a pair of headphones purchased through Amazon that were covered by my Asurion warranty that I had purchased. Asurion wouldn't help me and directed me to try and use the manufacturer warranty. When I buy a warranty from someone it's because I want the seller of the warranty to solve my problem. Not tell me to return the item or direct me to use the manufacturer warranty. It's not my fault the refurbisher couldn't make the tablet function properly for longer than 3 months.

Simple and not Drama claim process.
’ve had Asurion coverage for a couple of years and never needed to use it until recently, when my pool salt cell (less than two years old) stopped working. I had purchased it with an Asurion protection plan, so I contacted them to start a claim. The process was simple and straightforward to follow. In the end, they honored the plan and covered the cost of my salt cell based on the value when I originally bought it. They issued me a gift card that I could use on Amazon for that amount. While prices have gone up and a new cell now costs about $200 more, it was still definitely worth having the coverage. Overall, I’m satisfied with how the claim was handled.
