Never buy insurance it's a joke.
I'm sure I said this before, but I'm old...
I used to work with a guy that sent very expensive racing timing equipment, laptops and hardware, all over the country, like every week it shipped.
They had invested in heavy duty shipping containers, 1/4 plastic with custom cut foam to protect everything. Large containers, like 2' x 2' x 4' Must of cost a fortune each time.
Shipped insured for multiple years.
one got run over by a truck, just demolished it, broke stuff encased in 6" of foam.
UPS's response? you didn't pack it good enough!
Luckily his club has a few lawyers in it and they sued. Even then they only got $.50 on the dollar to replace the equipment.
You will never pack it good enough to get insurance.

We deal with this every day. It's a huge pain in the ass.
Last month we had a 2nd day air go ups. It took over a month to arrive.
To be fair though We ship 500+ packages a week and have a less than 1/2% defect rate through the post office or ups. So it's really not as bad as it
seems it's just infuriating when it doesn't go as planned!
