I have shipped items via FedEx (it might have been UPS, can’t remember) with high valuations ($5k). I had to go to a specific depot to do that, which locks the packages up. Getting paid on a loss is another story, but as long as you have receipts you stand a chance of recovering.
How To Safely Ship Cartridges For Retip
Now I am not worried about securing them in the box, I got that part down.
What I am worried about is safe and timely arrival. I am shipping a Transfiguration Proteus and ZYX 4D for replacement diamonds, probably to VAS. The MSRP of these two cartridges was $10k when new, in used condition certainly the value is lower. But if they are lost I would essentially spend equivalent to MSRP for like replacements.
How do you ship and insure high dollar items such as this? Given the recent news about USPS I am hesitant. Although I was thinking of using a registered parcel, but I don’t think I can insure for a significant amount. FED EX is what I typically use, but their capacity seems to be maxed out these days, and packaging takes some odd routes.
Anyone have any tips they are willing to share about sending a small and light but high value package these days?
