I got the word that Flex is ready to install my VHF/UHF module, so I
packed the 5K in its original carton and took it to a shipping store
that handles both UPS and FedEx. I had already priced the shipping at
the respective Web sites, from which it appeared that FedEx would be
cheaper but just as fast, but I wanted to find out if there was a
downside to that lower price.
They told me that UPS is much easier to deal with in the event of claims
on high-value items and does not use depreciated values. They also told
me that even though the item is being shipped in the original carton, in
the event of damage they can still claim that it was inadequately packed.
Also, perhaps because of the intervening weekend, 3-day shipping would
-- although much more expensive -- be no faster than regular UPS Ground,
at least from here (Michigan).
Maybe you knew this already, but...
