Or how will guitars even get to dealers from manufacturers? Something is not right here.OK, so what's going to happen every time UPS or Fedex snaps the headstock on a brand new $2500 guitar that was just sent out by MF, GC, or some other online retailer? The retailer is going to eat $2000 every time that happens? Never. Not even once. Whether guitars have the highest number of claims or not, there's no way $500 is going to get a carrier off the hook when they crush a 4-figure guitar.
Checked another FedEx--it is true.that would make NO sense what-so-ever if this was actually true.
Any links to this in writing? They have their policies/customer agreement posted online and there is no mention of limits, other than the $1000 limit on 20+ year old guitars.Checked another FedEx--it is true.
No--they will not pay any more than $500 on a used guitar no matter what you put down as a value. They seem to be instructed to suggest to customers when they ask about the new policy to "check your homeowner's insurance", because both FedEx employees told me the same thing.My guess (and this is only a guess) is they cover a maximum of $500, or whatever, if you don't buy additional insurance. Yes, it does suck, but honestly, I can't say that I blame them. They are a business. Bottom line is how much $$ can we generate.
I asked the second FedEx employee about this and she told me that "this policy is relatively new".Any links to this in writing? They have their policies/customer agreement posted online and there is no mention of limits, other than the $1000 limit on 20+ year old guitars.
The first guy told me that I was lucky he was honest--most stores have been keeping the policy under wraps and letting people pay for the insurance just to get a few bucks extra. Apparently they have no problem letting you PAY for it--they just won't honor it. Not sure about amps though.i just shipped an amp via fedex and insured it for 4000. i wonder why they would allow that, but not cover guitars for more.
