Fedex and Ups Damage thread

I have probably shipped and received 20+ components over the past 2 years while I was finding my current configuration and can happily say there were no damages to report via FedEx.  Delays from time to time, but all was packed properly and arrived safely.

'Delivery date unknown' does NOT mean they're thinking it's lost. It means that there was a delay (been happening a lot the past couple of years, if you hadn't noticed) they can't tell you exactly what date you'll receive it. 

You got very bad luck I never had a problem.

If it is heavy I put it on a pallet. Worst luck by far with UPS. Much better luck with FedEx. The claims process with UPS is a joke and very confrontational. I have had great luck shipping small light items through the USPS.

It's a JOKE trying to get a refund by them destroying an item! Proof of value and average 6 months! USPS just changed their policy and will not insure anything over 1,000! I sold a 4000 watch and they would not  insure it for more than a 1000! I don't ship gear anymore it's 50-50 if the don't F it up! FedEx/Usps/Usps they are all the same!

My 3cents!
