DO NOT use FED EX. They only insure up to $100 regardless of what you declare the value to be. You must use a third party insurer to make sure your item is insured at its declared value. Stick with UPS they will cover the declared value when you pay for additional insurance. If you have questions just google FED EX insurance terms and conditions.

I have bought a few sewing machines through ebay. The best packed machine was double boxed and it was worth every penny of the shipping charges to me to have the machine arrive in perfect condition. Most sellers on ebay use UPS or FedEx for large packages.

I have a large collection of vintage sewing machines and have been selling a few of them and I always use FedEx.

oh and i would be sure to mark "this side up" on the box. hopefully this will help so it doesnt get tossed and thrown so much.
