Members 6down1togo Posted April 21, 2013 Members Share Posted April 21, 2013 I sold a Gretsch 6119 w. case and allowed $65 for shipping in my auction. I went to FedEx and was delighted to find the shipping was $49.00. When asked for declared value I told them $1600 (sell price) and was told sorry, we only insure up to $1000.00. I was shipping in a case in the original Gretsch box. Chances are it would not get damaged but if damaged or lost, well you know sh!t happens.I went to UPS and shipping was a $59 ona $100 declared value. By the time I insured it for the actual value, the cost was $89.00!! Insurance over $100 declared value is $2.00 per every $100 valuation.This is just getting more costly every day.

Members ajympt Posted April 21, 2013 Members Share Posted April 21, 2013 That's pretty much the reality of shipping these days. Not much you can do other than pay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
