I think anyone who uses Fed-X or UPS is taking a BIG RISK. Good luck getting a claim paid, and in a timely mannor. I had a problem with Fed-X with an auction shipment a few years ago. Fed-X said they left the package at my door... They claimed that I had signed a slip stating it was OK to do so.. (NO WAY WOULD I EVER DO THAT)..Fed-X claimed that if you have ever signed one of those little flyers left on your door in the past, that they keep it on file for future deliveries. Make sure you have NEVER signed any of those flyers for 10.00 items, as it also applies to 50,000 items as well. Since Fed-X could never come up with this flyer, that they claimed I had signed 9 years ago, I was able to get compensated. Plus, the auction company had private insurance on the package, which came into play.

I have never had a problem with US Mail. That is the only way any package over 500.00 should be sent anyway!!! Plus it's the cheapest if you use the registered insurance.... JC
