No Insurance with FEDEX as of 11/01

I aleays take pictures of how my stuff is packed before it is shipped out never had a problem with a claim due to having the pictures..

Great advice yags1.  Take a picture of each layer of protection as you pack it.

My PS Audio PowerPlant 15 is currently bouncing around the FedEx system (warranty work - another string). Was supposed to be delivered yesterday (Sunday) but went about 3 hours too far south. After sitting there for a day it’s now 3 hours west of its intended destination. FedEx rescheduled delivery for tomorrow (Tuesday) but my money’s on Thursday.

I also take a pic of my packed items.
FedEx and UPS use "declared value" as stated above. If there's damage or loss, you file a claim with documentation of value, that's easy because there's a bill of sale or PayPal receipt.

Next, from what I've heard and read, is a long, nightmarish process of trying to get the shipping company to pay you.

@feldmen4, your issue is not exclusive to FedEx. I've had some wild tracking adventures with UPS and USPS. USPS being the worst at knowing where in the country your package may be.
