I had that years ago at UPS.
Two heavy items I figured would be cheaper that way.
One an old computer. old enough to be collectible, even in the horrible trash picked condition it was in. Missing drive, and a bit of hay where the drive should be.
The other a Victrola stand up model that had the base and record cabinet cut off. But it still worked.
I didn't want insurance.
Had to say what was in them.
Then open them up.
They rejected the computer since it wasn't in the original packaging.
Rejected the Victrola because "we don't accept antiques"
WT.... Neither had sold for more than their basic $100 coverage for loss. Which I don't believe they would have paid anyway.
Both were very well packed.
Took them to the post office, shipped no problem, and for less than UPS.
