Shipping cases for LCD monitors and FedEx damage coverage
What the thread found
- Encore Cases in North Hollywood can customize shipping cases with custom foam inserts within approximately 10 days at competitive pricing.
- FedEx does not cover damage to shipping case enclosures themselves, only contents in some circumstances.
- Pelican cases offer lifetime replacement coverage for broken cases at no cost.
- Hard cases may provide better protection for contents during shipping than soft cases.
- When shipping is covered by production insurance (COI), the case replacement is typically included under that coverage.
Depends on
- The Pelican lifetime warranty policy may have changed since 2016.
- FedEx coverage terms may vary by shipment type and insurance options selected.
- No direct comparison testing was presented between different case types for actual protection levels.
- One user's experience with FedEx damage does not necessarily reflect all shipping scenarios.
