[TenTec] shipping corsair to hawaii

[telegrapher at att.net]

I've been told that it is extremely difficult to get a settlement from
FedEx.  Even from shippers that i use.  Say Insurance almost a waste of
funds so even tho people damn UPS for damaging stuff, i've never had to
file a claim, I use them whenever it's possible.
