DO NOT USE UPS ! I SHIPPED TWO MACHINES BY THEM...BOTH DAMAGED.....when I filed the claim..I got, "lady no sewing machine is worth $5,000. wHAT? I ASKED THE JERK how he would like it if I took his laptop and tossed it to the tarmack from one of their planes. We had the boxes MARKED FRAGILE. The regional UPS claims manger said it doesn't matter what you mark on the box becuase they go end over end 3 or 4 times, about thE only time they pay half way attention is if the box is marked GLASS. TAKE IN YOUR CAR OR TRUST YOUR OVERLAND MOVERS. Once the truck is packed, it stays that way until it reaches your new home. I travel between states, I take mine in the car, only ship seasonal clothing via FedEx NEVER UPS.
