Good idea? Maybe the part about careful packing and internal addresses is. Otherwise,why not cancel your homeowners insurance, and the UM/collision coverage on your car because if your house burns, or an uninsured crashes into your car it wasn't your day anyway. It was only the luck of the draw that an expensive shortwave radio sent Fedex to me was delivered to someone at Lands End in MN, 1500 miles from me, after FedEx damaged the shipping label. The shipper used a Lands End box. A Lands End employee had the decency to call the radio manufacturer with serial number who traced the seller's address and phone number. I got the goods 30 days after being sent via "the works" by Fedex . Risk of loss of shipment is on you and tariffs limit the liability of the carrier to not much-$100. If that plane crashes and you have insurance with documentation of value, you will eventually get your money. Use UPS or FedEx and have them pack it and label it. They can't then contest packing failure which is a favorite liability dodge of common carriers.
