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??

Used Ramon cargo insurance when I shipped my Bryston amp for repair. Great price, easy to deal with.

Despite factory boxes, unit arrived at repair site with broken speaker connectors.

Luckily, I did not need to file a claim, as Bryston fixed the unit under warranty and repaired the shipping damage at no cost to me. 

As long as it's not DHL, it's OK with me - I use both FedEx and UPS and have had no problems with either.  I didn't think that 'no insurance' thing sounded right - I'm glad the OP cleared that up. 

I just sent a carton by FedEx Ground with insurance on November 8th. No issue.

Yes, as above,

UPS is Union and FedEx is Contracted. Both are outstanding in my area.

USPS no issue/problem as well. I am fortunate.

 

Happy Listening!
