Didn't Fedex pay up on the insurance though?
Sometimes things happen. Sometimes things get stolen,
but Fedex has a REALLY GOOD batting average with me
and I have shipped a lot with them, both inbound and outbound.
I once shipped a Drake rig to Asia and the post office smashed
it to bits, even though it was packed very well... They paid up
on their unsurance eventually - after EIGHTEEN MONTHS of
badgering them!
