One problem with insurance was what level do you insure at?  If you are the
wholesaler, do you insure for what it costs you wholesale?

Business savy says:  NO!  When the wholesaler sells he has to include his
profit.
So the wholesaler doesn't insure at his replacement cost, he insures it at
what the guy at the receiving end would pay.  That way the wholesaler makes
sure he gets paid.

If the serviceman insured for just the amount of his repairs, he was a fool.
His repairs are likely to survive and the equipment not.

The parcel should be insured at its replacement cost - what it is worth to
you.

I have shiped somethings via U.S. Postal Service and received reimbursement
in full for a new replacement within a month for damages done in transit.

Well, I got my IC 736 back today. I had a new display installed and
backlights. Opened the box , hooked it up and lo and behold the display had
about 20 cracks and lcd leakage everywhere plus the vfo barely moves. As if
someone hit the radio in the face with a hammer. The repair guy that shipped
it back is filing a damage report but if it gets replaced I will only get
about $850 out of a radio I paid almost $1700 for. The UPS name will now be
known as "mud" in this house. Should I get the radio repaired at UPS prices
or ask for the money for a new one?
