Question on shipping insurance
i'm going to be shipping something that is pretty expensive and want to add shipping insurance. how much does insurance cost and does it go by percentage of value? any help would be great.

-It's fairly inexpensive. For $200 of coverage it's maybe 3-4 bucks. (if that)

It goes up by value, but anything worth under $200 is pretty reasonable. No matter how much it costs, it is cheaper than replacing the product if something happens to the package. If you are shipping to Canada, however, forget everything I said.

I appreciate Chicago players that begin competing within the city's sports organizations and stay with these teams throughout their careers.
