No Insurance with FEDEX as of 11/01

Just a heads up if it’s not known already, as of November 1st 2021 FedEx does not offer insurance on shipments. I was sending out a piece of gear today and was told that I would have to obtain 3rd party insurance if I wanted my shipment covered for lost/damage. 
Does anyone have recommendations on who to insure gear with??

To make matters worse Fedex is hiking rates 5.9% Jan 3, 2022. So no insurance and a rate hike. Unfortunately the alternatives are dismal and less reliable. UPS is a disaster as it is but still better than USPS.

Thank You for sharing this important information. It will be interesting to see if UPS and USPS follow suit?
Happy Listening!

I like UPS and ship with them almost daily. Never an issue. FedEx will suffer from this decision if reported accurately here.

Another wrench added to making sure you get your order delivered safe....they deliver and handle the package Free insurance, just prove what's in the package....
