UPS don't claim for the damage and late deliveries but pitt-ohio tracking is much better in way of safe shipping
Does UPS ever open and inspect packages?
Lately, I have had a couple instances where I have shipped a practically mint item via UPS only to find out from the recepient that the item looked as if it had been taken apart or inpected. This happened most recently with a power cable. Again, it wasn't damaged per se, but it wasn't in the same condition that it was originally sent either. Cable was well packaged btw...
So, my question is (maybe a UPS employee can pipe in here) does UPS do any kind of a random package inspection? I can see where some of the weird stuff that we audiophiles ship around could fall under the area of "suspicious" at times, especially in this day and age (and especially if they x-ray random packages??), so I wondered if this was a possiblity.

I have seen this with UPS and USPS, but not Fed Ex yet. I take photos of all items before closing the top and after it's sealed and ready to go. Also take photos before I open packages and sometimes video of actually opening. USPS is famous for poking holes to "inspect" contents with camera and probes. |
+1 @fiesta75 I take pictures as well and forward to the buyer along with the tracking receipt. Only had one damage report in 20 years and that was six years ago. |
