I ran into something the other day I’ve never experienced. I just sold my Suhr Modern on here and was shipping it out, the buyer requested FedEx, so I went there to ship. When I asked for insurance, the guy behind the counter told me the maximum declared value I could set was $1,000. So in case of damage, I’d be shit out of luck. He showed me a little pamphlet he had stating this.
I have never heard that before. It’s confusing because the online system will allow you to put in larger declared value numbers and even the system they use at a FedEx location will allow higher numbers, but the guy was pretty clear that FedEx would only pay up to $1,000. He made it sound like this is a recent change.
I searched FedEx site and could only find this:
“The maximum Declared Value for Customs and Carriage is limited and may vary per location.”
In section 18 here: http://www.fedex.com/cm/shippingguide/terms/#18
I’m wondering how many people know this or have delt with it?
Also I wonder how many people are using FedEx without knowing the risk and exposure they may have? Sounds like it varys by location, so it may be different where you live.
