[Amps] shipping damge -- Guaranteed damage?? A dice roll?

[donii@sympatico.ca]

Hi gang
I've been following this thread since its beginning. Boy oh boy! I'm 
shuddering in my sockets .I guess that when we ship its just a dice 
roll. Competition is theoretically good but when pushed to extremes it 
can result in the situation that we are seeing with UPS and their 
competitors. ( boy I hope that a UPS exec. is reading these posts!)
Competition has rendered the shipping companies to lower their prices 
and cut costs to the extent that once they have you package its a coin 
toss. Its either great delivery or 'Gee that's too bad! It's your fault 
because the package was the wrong color'
What am I to do when I have to ship a 60 pound linear? There is a niche 
developing for 'careful' shipping. I won't be surprised that in a few 
years there appears an expensive but 100% reliable shipper that will be 
reliable with 'insurance' automatically included!!!!
