Yes sir, this is why I ship with them exclusively. they cover the first $100 no matter the cost of the item. I used to put face value on the shipping lables, but was corrected by the staff at FedEx/Kinko's to just put $100 in the box, no matter the actual value of whats being shipped! :toast:

ya every package has a $100 insurance .

and you can get it pretty easily, they don't care for $100 , they just hand it out.

Just tell them that board is bent and send them a proof of cost (make it more than $100 , new board should be more than $100), and they will give you the money back, no hassle

I'm not a fan of FedEx - unless the estimated delivery date is on Sat. FedEx is the only company around here that will deliver to home addresses on the weekends. Otherwise, I've had packages that were quite damaged come through FedEx before, and I've seen their drivers do some dumb[/i] things (like leave a boxed up crossbow at someone's door without requiring a signature - same goes for an old winchester that someone had rebuilt) . . .

UPS tends to be quicker, but their shipping rates can be atrocious sometimes (try shipping overseas).

TBH, most of the time I go with USPS - they've gotten a lot better over the years, their rates are fair, package insurance isn't too expensive . . . you just don't get a tracking number to follow the course of the package.

I used to have a saturday job at TNT sorting packages, and during weekdays it was done by social workers.
Certainly, from what I've seen there, all my faith in shipping companies has faded. Too bad I need them sometimes.

Oh, and FRAGILE stickers, they don't help

Nope. It makes them a target. Might as well paint a bullseye on the box. lol.

Not really, but when you work sorting stuff saturday morning before dawn, you don't notice them.
It's almost Christmas time now, so I guess the floors will get a new coat of "Wine Red" there:shadedshu

lol, dude

my name is charity, and charities except charity, charities do not give charity , so if you have some charity to give to a charity, I'm your charity.

Simplified Verision : Charities accept donations, not give them

Oh I know what you were getting at, but I'm the one in need of the charity upgrade on the card at the moment
