So, a couple weeks ago I sold a '53 Fender Pro amp to someone on Vancouver Island. I packed it up and off to Purolator I went. Figured out shipping rates and told them I wanted it insured. They said they would not insure it unless it was in the original packaging. I had to ship a $2000 amp without insurance! I knew I packed it well and fortunately it arrived safely, but this is retarded. I think UPS has the same policy. With the scammers on Ebay and this kind of BS it is making it almost impossible to sell gear anymore, except locally.
Oh, and yesterday I was shipping a looper thing at Canada Post and they asked if it had a battery in it. Apparently batteries are now classified "dangerous goods" and CP will not carry them.
