Look at his website old site had a form and prices ,shipping thats a ups deal have to weigh it and insure.Insure ? ask the boys at factory connection east how many fork UPS has smashed
Yea insure it. To tell you the truth ups and FedEx pay people 8.50-12.00 an hour to load your box. Which is 1 of 4500 they will load that night. They don't give a **** about your stuff. I worked for ups for 7 years and FedEx for 6 mo in the summer of 07. INSURE your motors. They'll get dropped 10 feet to concrete often. Most everything else I wouldn't insure. But motors are too heavy and alot of time they're packaged terribly and fall out of the box.
And think if you were slaving for 8.50 an hour and going to college would you care if you broke something ? It's no skin off the employees back. They can't prove a specific employee broke it.
If you want it shipped safe I'd say ups insured, FedEx second, and the only true fool proof way is take it yourself.
