It's not the $1,500 animal I'm afraid of dying in shipping. It's the higher range animals that are even $3,000 - $5,000 I worry about. Also it is only if the animal dies because of late delivery, not due to overheating because the driver left the package on the seat in the full sun or it sat outside in a blizzard on the tarmac while the plane was delayed. I have also had times where the delivery didn't happen until 4pm the next day because FedEx decided the area they were shipping to doesn't qualify for priority overnight (even if you pay for it) and they don't give you any warning upfront.

At least some type of insurance is a start though. I do agree with that.
