>Hi All,
Remember us, FDS Worldwide, we sponsored the recent ICT Expo & AKADEMY
Conference. We ship all over the world and carry out all the specialised
work for Dell (we fix the stuff other carriers got wrong). When shipping
data, we recommend that you remove the hard drives and individually wrap
them up in bubble wrap then put them each in their own boxes servers
travel well in there original packaging. We will ship to anywhere in the
world, all of the EU & the USA is next day. You can insure the value of
the actual hard drive, all non insured goods carry our in house
insurance of up to $100.
I'm afraid you can not insure the actual data, as this is considered
disputable value.
Should you need any advice about shipping please contact us
info at fdsworldwide.com
