So how the heck do they offer such discounts? Perhaps by contracting
with the carrier and absorbing the overhead of tracking, lost shipments,
damage en route in exchange for cheaper prices?

My take on it is you save money, but if anything goes awry, good luck.
Then again, ANY insurance claim with ANY carrier has been a hassle for me
over the years.
I'm not taking sides here. Just be sure you know what is involved before
you commit to ship.

Semi-off topic, but I wanted to thank Dave for the referral to
pirateship.com, and echo his recommendation. I had prepared a shipment
for FedEx which, with insurance, was going to run $63. I checked
pirateship.com, and the UPS cost there was $37! Shipping UPS direct has
always been more costly than FedEx, so I rarely used it. Using pirateship
was definitely a money saver.

I have a two month old KPA 500 that needs warranty service and I was
wondering if anyone else has been expected to pay shipping to get their
equipment repaired under warranty? I am a 78 year old on SS and don't
believe I should have to pay to have a defective unit for repair. I would
appreciate any comments. Rich KB9RP
