[QUOTE="Steve@TF, post: 7912411, member: 40308"] is that how much it would cost for the insurance?? ive honestly never really checked on most things. edit: i just checked with fedex online. shipping a pair of wheels shipped for only $50 (less than the standard "free" insurance of $100) costs about $44. shipping with insurance for $2k, about $57. theyre pretty confident they wont lose/damage your shipment so they dont mark it up that much. which is why i just automatically include it with everything i ship. neither would i. i dont ship anything i cant get for free or wouldnt be a loss, without insurance. i dont even ask. i just get a shipping quote with it, and then relay that info to the potential buyer. usually i dont even separate the amounts. just the cost of the item, shipped. its funny, most people dont even ask if their wheels will ship insured. it seems like it would be a given :shrug: ive sold a ton of crap on ebay. electronics, car parts, etc... i always mark "insurance included" when signing up. and then either quote the shipping rate, or just say "free shipping" because it always attracts more bidders and the price ends up higher. people bid based on the total cost involved, not this and that. but i digress.... imo, the seller is 95% at fault for not shipping with insurance. not too bright imo. he could avoided this whole stupid mess by just paying an extra $10 for the insurance :nonono: [/QUOTE]
