I did not think of a plastic bag to protect from moisture, but next time I will. Thanks. I shipped a quilt using UPS with no problems. I was nervous, though.

I have never shipped a quilt but as I was reading this topic I came across this comment. I am curious to why you would describe it as a blanket instead….

Pirate Shipping finds the best price between UPS and USPS Has insurance and have had great service from this company.

toogie....I've been told this before about claiming it as an ordinary blanket and not a quilt. The majority of people realize how expensive a handmade quilt is and might be tempted to snatch it...blankets are relatively cheap and may not be worth the trouble. It does make me wonder, that should it get stolen/lost what will be reimbursed for, an ordinary blanket or a handmade quilt?

I second Pirate Ship. They are a broker for the big shippers and give great deals.

You'd be reimbursed for what you can provide the receipts for. Just because you insure something for a dollar amount, it doesn't mean you'll get reimbursed that amount. You have to prove the value of the item lost or stolen. Receipts or certified appraisal documentation.
