A suggestion: after a customer of mine having a similar experience re a bike
he bought online, when I have packed bikes for shipping since I take digital
photos of the bike with packing material on it and of the bike in the box
before closing and email them to the customer. I suggest using Fed Ex
ground if they serve your area--cheaper by a few pennies and they seem more
careful.

> My faith, what little there was to begin, in UPS has just evaporated once
again. I received a Vintage bicycle frameset from UPS at the end of
February. It had a massive hold in the base of the bike box and the fork was
completely missing! The box was pressed inward and had been double lined
with another cardboard inner lining which was also pierced. The frameset was
damaged but repairable. A minor dent in the top tube and some scratches. I
can live with this. So I went to UPS and they inspected and said it looked
like a forklift blade went through. No problem I thought. Today I get
notified, they denied the claim. The complete box was insured for $300. I
only claimed $75 on the fork telling the inspecter the frame was repairable.
I try and work nicely with UPS and other deliveries, Now I wonder why?!?
They don't try and work with their customers!
