[AusNOG] Courier insurance

[Tim Jones]

Allow some extra time if you do go down the checked baggage route.
I transported a bike as oversized luggage on a return trip to QLD recently from Sydney. The bike made it with me on the way up, but the plane was too full on the way back so it was delayed by 24 hours, along with most of the other oversized luggage on that flight.

Cheers,
Tim

Hi All,

Just wondering how people handle the situation of transit insurance for domestic shipping of high value equipment? I am looking at options for TNT’s transit warranty and 1) It’s pricey and will cost thousands to get a warranty 2) They max out coverage at $40K it seems. I suppose we might be able to work around that with multiple separate shipments.

We’ve got new Cisco gear worth 70-90K that we are shipping to one of our offices for configuration, then from NSW to a customer’s site in far north QLD. I’m not really keen on just trusting the gear won’t be damaged, so I’m looking for safe options to courier the equipment – I’m wondering if anyone is aware of good options for this sort of situation?

We are also attending site so it’s possible that we could just check the boxes in as luggage, but I’m not sure if I trust baggable handlers any better. Typically we’d just ship directly to site, but we don’t really want to configure and test it entirely onsite as that has it’s own challenges in this case.

Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!
