: This is why I never, *never* ship UPS.  The Federal Express driver

: actually pays off quickly.  UPS, on the other hand, tells you that
: they must, by law, pay the shipper if there is any claim.  While it is
: not the case that they must pay the shipper, their reasoning is clear,
: they attempt to avoid dealing with the only person who has an interest
: in the package.  In addition, I found it almost impossible to get a
: straight story from any employee of UPS, and they always refused to
