shipping tips

"m pretty new on the 'Gon and I am in the middle of dealing with a shipping disaster...LOTS of damage to carefully packed speakers. Any tips on subjects like whether to have dealer or carrier pack? or which carriers to use? Avoiding a claim by a buyer that equipment didn't work upon arrival? Handling insurance claim negotiations ("Well, sir, you didn't pack this equipment properly"). Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks for all the good advice. "Part swappers"...never even heard of that...what's that about? How much importance do you place on the other party's prior feedback in weeding out potential rats?

Positive feedback is nice but meaningless.

Agree with Pbb and the other comments.You can usually do your qualifying on the phone accurately[sp?]I've found.Assuming you speak the same language.....I just sent a B&O 3000 turntable[1986] across the country,packed to perfection.Makes you feel good when the buyer is happy with your work,cheers,Bob
