element101 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I know I know. Too many USPS threads right now. I've never got insurance for myself or a buyer before and now a few different buyers are requesting it on ebay. I understand how it works but i have a question. For me, do i collect any more money besides "how much" they are insuring for + shipping? like fees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

czurek13 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 kind of off topic has any one ever shipped records fed ex ground. I ship a lot through them because I get a minor discount, but i think it would be cheaper than 10 dollars, and you get free insurance up to 100. I have issues paying for usps insurance just because they are to lazy to do their jobs properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
