In the past 10 years I have shipped over 100 pieces of gear with Fedex including at least 10 heavy tube amps and never had an issue till about a year ago. Have had 2 tube phono stages damaged, Internal parts shaken loose due to miss handling and both units were shipped in their factory packing. I am through with shipping by Fedex and paying their insurance prices just to deny my claims when the time comes, will be selling for local P/U only unless it is a set of headphones or something less likely to be damaged by their people who obviously are untrained or just don't give a sh.........
