The problem that I have with UPS's handling of merchandise that is "damaged in shipment" is that you are supposed to tell the delivery person when you receive the package that it looks damaged, otherwise, you really have to fight. And since UPS leaves a lot of packages with people's neighbors or at their doorstep, that makes it even harder to file a claim. I had a small junky stereo that they damaged horribly, but the box didn't look too bad. But even the guy who picks up damaged boxes was impressed. He just looked at it and said "Damn." ALWAYS INSURE EVERYTHING YOU SEND THAT COULD POSSIBLY BREAK! <and insure it for about twice what it is worth, if you feel like the chance is good they might break it...> And make sure you pack everything really well <you might take it to one of those new stores popping up all over that package and send things for you, and insure them> otherwise UPS can simply claim you didn't pack it right and it's your fault.
