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??

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!

One thing to consider is that UPS employees are paid a livable wage with a retirement  and medical benefits package. Fedex on the other hand does not compensate their employees nearly the same.

As long as it's insured,  I'd personally support the growth of middle class workers than the proceeds and revenue that fedex receives going to where?

 

carlsbad it is important to get the facts before you open your mouth or you may look like a-well you know. Here are facts. We ship an average of 10 packages a week, taking into consideration only the last 30 years (and we have been doing it longer than that) and having filed 29 damage claims that comes out to a damage percentage of less than 0.2% How many pieces a year do you ship? How many pieces over 70lbs? What is your damage percentage?
