petecldFedex: From what I understand Fedex liability is limited. Going from memory here but the amount $500 comes to mind but I could be wrong.
I think the best way to send high dollar packages is USPS via registered mail/fully insured. I've sent more then a few big dollar items and (knock on wood) have had no problems. It is a little slower than regular mail but is safe.
Seriously, you HAVE to bite the fee and buy insurance on large shipments. If a $5-10K shipment gets lost what is that delivery confirmation going to get you?
