here is my fix w/ shipping UPS USPS etc ( does not work w/ fed ex but maybe it could ? ) i use pirate ship have an account there . I have a e bay or other seller do the sale do it as a local pick up i email them free ( to them ) pre-paid shipping label . i buy the shipping label pay for it myself ! it is cheaper and i add insurance to actual cost -you can only insure pirate ship to what you paid for it . not "value " anyway if it is lost or damaged I get the $ NOT the shipper ! otherwise YOU don't get $ unless they give it to you ! i have done same thing w/ royal mail YOU buy label YOU are owner ! otherwise shipper gets the $ fr a shipping claim!
Fed Ex makes good
Just a quick shout out to Fed Ex. I recently sold an amp and shipped it out of state. I used Fed Ex and purchased additional insurance, just in case. Well, as bad luck will have it, one of the type 45 tubes broke in transit. My buyer sent me a single picture of the broken tube still sitting in the bubble wrap. I mentioned that I would replace his tubes and asked for some additional pictures that the Fed Ex claims page said would be useful.
Well, even though I never received any additional pictures, and an opinion that he doubted that Fed Ex would make it right, they did! I sent my request with the one picture and got a reply 2 days later saying my claim had been approved. 3 days after that, I received a check in the mail.
Way to go Fed Ex!!
