My understanding with Fedex is that even if you buy insurance for the
replacement amount.  If lost, they'll only pay up to their limit which
apparently is $100.  In other words, if you're shipping an M7 back to NJ for
service and purchase insurance for $2000; if the shipment is lost, all you'll
get from Fedex is $100.

Under (F), there is a list of items that cannot be insured for over $100. Cameras are not on the list. But antiques are. If your camera is an antique, meaning a replacement is not available from ordinary photo outlets, it's $100 max. Rolleis are current products. As are Leicas. If you are shipping an M2 or LTM, you might have to be careful of how the invoice is worded. So it's not classed as an antique.
