I just sold an amp and tried to ship via FEDEX GROUND yesterday, (that's the way the buyer had asked for) and was told the same thing. The only way that FEDEX would take it and insure it for more, was to send it by FEDEX AIR and this would have cost me $150! UPS was less than half of that, so that's the way I shipped. I know that this has been discussed ad nausem, but I have had excellent results with UPS and have shipped hundreds of items.
how do you ship?
i don't usually use (well, okay probably never) fedex, but a guy i just sold to wanted it fedex. so i took my preamp to kinko's to ship it and was told that fedex only insures up to $500? are you kidding me? i had this verified by fedex by phone. is this common knowledge? so how do you guys ship? i have always sent either usps or UPS and have never had a problem with either. as an aside, just last week i had some new Axiom HT speakers delivered to me. i watched as the fedex guy wheeled them up to the bottom of my stairs with a hand cart. then, as i am staring at him, PLOP goes my speakers face down on the sidewalk in their box. PLOP goes my speakers as he flips them end over end to the top of my 10 feet of stairs. luckily Axiom has great packaging so no harm done. but even from a customer service standpoint, WOW.
