Default What is the best way to ship a very expensive item

Posted By: Corey R. Shanus

Depends how fragile your item(s) is(are). If they are not too, then registered insured is a good option. It will take a bit longer, but is a very reliable cost-effective way of shipping. If you have a fragile item, then I always go the overnight option with Fedex or UPS. I just hate having the item with the carrier any longer than I have to (and on this score I never ship over weekends). UPS offers better insurance choices than Fedex, but I have heard of horror stories (one happening to me many years ago) with the package getting mangled on the conveyor belt. If you don't have your own insurance and your only option to have it insured is by the carrier, then I would probably go with UPS one-day and package the hell out of the item.
