Hope it was insured?
25 years ago I was tasked with shipping a small medical laser valued new at 40k and used at 5 years old 10k
I decided to have the freight company pack and ship and paid a little under $300.
Took some grief for paying the shipper to pack it as I was suppose to do that… I also insured it for 10k
Anyway it arrived damaged and the leasing company was billing the hospital 12k.
All I can say is good forward thinking on my part for professional packing and insurance… plus I found on the leasing company site they were selling same for 10k
In the end the packer/shipper had to do all the legwork and the leasing company got 10k as payment in full.
As a postscript I was praised by the medical chief of staff for using a packer shipper with insurance…
