All the usual means I use have limits of $10,000 or less. I need to ship a $22,000 preamp and can't take a chance that it gets lost (stolen) along the way and I'm out the additional $12,000.
I think, USPS Registered Mail could be insured for up to $25k, unless they changed it. But I have no idea about either the cost or weight limits or etc. Registered Mail is also very slow, but very reliable.
Guess I'd be focused on finding which either insurer or shipper actually stands behind the insurance if a claim needs to be filed; how the items needs to be packed and by whom with proof of such; what needs to be in place as proof of item and packaging condition prior to shipping, and what's required afterwards. Nothing is ever straightforward in these matters
what is a dealer? That is only half joking.There are no high end dealers with 3-4 hours of me. Even if there were, I can't afford to buy what I want working with a dealer, so like most of us, wheel and deal on sites like this.
and I'm talking about selling a used item I have, No dealer is going to help me do that.
