Kiss the boxes and hope for the best!

As I grow older, I hope I grow more colorful
Yesterday I dropped 8 sculptural pieces off at the shipper to make a little trip to Palm Beach, Florida for Art Palm Beach January 19-23. Sending them off, knowing that if they break Fed Ex will not cover any breakage makes me extremely nervous. Evidently when Fed Ex ships one of a kind, fragile pieces they will not cover breakage--you can pay for the insurance, but they will not cover a loss (I guess it's in the fine print). Unfortunately it seems to be my only option right now. So I think I may kiss each box and not look back. What do other artists do?
