Get The Insurance
I learned an expensive lesson recently. I purchased a hard to find NOS part for my 72 from an individual I have dealt with for several years and he shipped it by FedEx. I elected not to get the insurance as I have never had a lost package in 45 years. 1 month later the part is still MIA and FedEx has no idea what happened to it. The seller filed a claim with FedEx and they will only pay $100.00 since there was no insurance. I am out over $700.00 on the deal. Hopefully everyone else on here is smarter than me!

Dan,
I just Googled it and they were dumped in Alabama. I Had a compressor stolen about 30 miles from me. The owner set up the shipping. No insurance, and a restored vintage comp to his vette was gone. Yes, there was a empty box. First it was damaged, then next day there was only a box!
