I'm moving from NY to LA. I'm planning on shipping my 27" iMac with FedEx. I'm purchasing an original box and I'll build another sturdier box around it for extra support.
Is this the normal method people use for such moves? I don't trust the airline to handle the computer. I'm also hiring a cross country mover to move my belongings and furniture, however I worry about the computer in that situation as well. At least with FedEx I can purchase insurance...right? I'm meeting with the movers tomorrow for an estimate, I'll inquire about insurance with them however I doubt they offer it.
Any other advice, like how much to insure with shipping? Does anyone trust UPS or USPS? I'm planning on putting all other computer related stuff with the movers, like secondary monitors, hard drives, etc. I'll carry my TM backup drive with me on the flight along with my macbook pro, so I won't be out of work if there's a snag.
Thanks for any input and advice.
