WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX Many of the comments above (especially those from dealers and frequent shippers), have provided me a good education regarding how best to ship packages safely without damage, and to assure claims are honored by shipping companies - will be very be... | |
WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX So... do ShipSurance or GRS have any particular requirements to must meet to obtain their insurance? How do they get comfortable with your shipment in order to issue the coverage?Have you ever used SBA or BAX? | |
Does anyone know about putting marker on CDs? Or... you can send them to me... and... for $5 per disc + shipping I will inspect them, clean them and make sure the black, green, purple, etc. marker is in the proper location... or... remove them if you prefer. And... I’ll provide a guarantee th... | |
WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX Does UPS say they will honor their insurance with no questions... IF... they package them for shipment at their UPS store? Just curious if that makes claims simpler to resolve with UPS?Or FedEx for that matter - if its packaged by the FedEx store? | |
Synergistic Red Fuse ... mapman - your experience was similar to mine when trying the AH Black Platinum Fuse vs the fuse I have in my ARC Ref 3 Preamp. Only a very subtle difference... and... the fuse I have in my ARC Ref 3 Preamp sounds like it may even be better in som... | |
WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX See the "Speakers" forum also - similar post there, because I thought some might miss the discussion in just one forum. And... yes... I think for anything heavy (e.g. speakers, power amp, etc.) - SBA (or similar) is likely the only safe way to sh... | |
WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX We checked with an Audio Dealer who ships a lot, and he advised us not to use FedEx, because they do use a lot of poorly trained contract drivers (many who do not speak English and who do not care how they handle shipments - they're much less cost... | |
WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX SBA will ship your item strapped to a pallet with shrink wrap and instructions "do not stack" - which is about as safe as you can get.

WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX Ditto - exactly the same experience with FedEx this past week. The driver was throwing / rolling the package around, which he'd already torn the corner off of - a 75 lb package about 2 ft square and 15 in deep - because he couldn't lift it and di... | |
WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX No doubt the only safe way to ship "high-dollar," heavy, bulky equipment is SBA or BAX - forget about FedEx and UPS.They may be fine for smaller, less expensive shipments, but not for "the good stuff."See the "Amps Forum" post by someone who is fa... | |
WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX By far the most informative and helpful post in this discussion, from which hopefully all will benefit. I just obtained a quote from SBA on an expensive item I'm about to ship. The representative is a local person, who I can look to and trust to... | |
WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX I think you both missed the point.The point is... the FedEx policy vs that of UPS. UPS policy does reimburse the shipper for damage to the container... and... FedEx policy does not. How much simpler can I make it. It has nothing to do with what... | |
