[Hallicrafters] re: My two cents worth

One other little thing to keep in mind here. Almost all of the shipping
operations ups usps ect. include the first $100 dollars worth of coverage
in the shipping cost. When a buyer charges you extra for shipping a $50
dollar package he putting that money in his pocket. You are quite correct
thow only the shipper can start a claim and the shipper is the one who will
collect.
