UPS or should I Say Oooops

ericbee, ewe are mistaken - ups *will* make payment for damaged goods - even if they were poorly packed, or were damaged prior to shipment. i was the buyer in two such incidents, & ups paid both times, w/no hassles - once to a dishonest seller, the other time to an incompetent seller. w/the dishonest seller, i even told the ups claims person, when they came over to inspect the goods, that i thought it was damaged prior to packing. go figure...

ymmv, doug s.

ups is no better or worse than any other shipper. when stuff is properly packed, i've never had a problem. as i mentioned above, they *did* pay a claim, no questions asked, when the shipper *obviously* fraudulently packed damaged goods. in another case, they paid when the shipper improperly packed the goods. *both* were obvious to me; they still paid. *i* wouldn't have.

i'm sure there are yerks that work at ups, but don't fool yourself - they don't have a monopoly on 'em. yerks work for other shippers too. most damage i've seen is due to yerks' poor packaging
