There is no need to worry about shipping these days. Most companies, incuding myself use freight lines. However from time to time FedX and even UPS are used. They know whats in the box and trust me they do not what to be liable. If something looks damaged, dents in box or tears rufuse it. A client does not have to except it, once you sign it, it is yours though for a few days. Internal damage usually has a 48 hour report policy. In the event something like this does happen stay calm. Yes a client just spent alot of money but it is covered under insurance.
Here is the tricky part though. A person has to be dealing with a goog company to start with. My policies are like above and the items I ship are usally worth twice the price as a Rear Projection based TV. Have never had a problem yet, in fact it is pretty rare these days.(shiiping damage) However it does happen.
Just though the people here who were going to order on line would like to know. Oh one more word of causion make sure you are dealing with a autherized reseller. Make sure the product you are buying can be sold through the internet. There are items I can sell through the internet but guesss what if the maker of the item finds out there is no warranty!! That is why I run information site. I have no restrictions doing it this way.
Hope this was helpful to all who are about to buy through the internet!
