I've had that problem! Fed ex & other shippers told me they would not insure posters for more than the value of paper...mere pennies. I got on the phone & the main office read me the policy. It was some what ambiguous, but certainly gaveme pause.
I finally got around it last time by going to an independent shipping company that said fed ex would do it for them. They did! But the fed ex office refused to do the same for me just off the street! Otherwise I used post office & sent it regitered & insured. I guess it depends on the independent office/agent.
