While I have shipped insured items I packed via FedEx and UPS, the better
practice is to let them do the packing, (Kinkos, UPS Stores) Why? If you
do the packing and there is damage due to rough handling, unless the package
shows serious exterior damage, both companies will fight you tooth and nail
over the claim. If they do the packing and shipping, they can hardly blame
damage on improper packing. FedEx does not offer insurance per se, but
agrees to reimburse you for loss or damage for the stated value PROVIDED you
can prove the value. Google UPS horror stories or FedEx horror stories.
(United Package Smashers, etc.) USPS is worse. A buddy shipped a shotgun in
a hard gun case inside a box. The gun was wrapped in bubble wrap. The
recipient received the gun and the stock was broken off and the through bolt
assembly which holds the stock to the receiver was bent. This
indicated heavy pressure was placed on the receiver during shipment. USPS
denied the insurance claim citing improper packing. He eventually got a
regional supervisor on the telephone who agreed the damage was obviously
caused by improper handling and okayed the claim. He received his check 9
months after making his initial claim.
