you are correct, micheal. by buying, the customer agrees to hold you completely harmless for any and all losses or damage (direct or consequential)- see my ebay terms. the cusomer is soley responsible for any and all insurance. it is called the price of doing business. nothing is risk free (incuding space travel). you may want to avoid shipping to questionable areas, though so that you are not even really setting yourself up. congrats on your cool, new skyrox.
