[MORE] Shipping Advice

[Pointdexter1906]

Just a few more questions for you great members as I continue to learn this eBay seller thing...

1. Has anyone ever had negative experiences with one shipping service vs. another, or any notable horror stories?
2. Does everyone always require signatures?
3. This may seem like a dumb question, but do you think that stickers or stamps that say 'FRAGILE' invite disruntled workers to, uh, let's just say, test the theory?

Thanks everyone!

I generally have good experiences with Fed EX, most of my bad experiences have been with UPS.
I have an account with Fed EX that gives me about a 20% discount, anybody can sign up for an account.

For anything around $100 on up I require a signature, this could save you a lot of hassle for just a few dollars.

I always use the fragile stickers and double box or at least a single box with excessive packing. So far I haven't had a single box come back with damage nor has anybody ever filed a claim on one of my shipments.
