Yes, UPS will argue all up and down about packing when there is an actual claim. Remember, this is not really "insurance" but an agreement wher UPS is is the judge and the payee.

I know this goes on and on but Fedex prefers not to break your stuff and to be more up front in my opinion. For example, Fedex Kinkos is Fedex owned and has the same rates as a Fedex shipping center. Also, I have found many Fedex employees are long term employees, very helpful and knowledgeable.

Thanks everyone for all the interest in this problem. Has anyone ever had a problem filing a claim against UPS for damaged goods and been turned down DUE to the method of packing. ie NOT boxed and packed by UPS, Also what experience filing claims against other carriers Fed Ex USPS Etc? Anyone ever actually got paid for a claim filed? With all the goods shipped these days who IS the best carrier and is customer friendly? I know we all ship our treasures back and forth probably without any thought as to them getting there in good nick! maybe we should ALL think a BIT before shipping, Cheers John Crump OldneverhadaclaimBrit.
