UPS is known for that type of "service". Hope you told them you'll be using
FED EX or USPS from now on. They pay their claims when applicable, but much
rarer that they are needed. UPS has gotten "too big for their britches". I
can't honestly remember the last time I ordered something and it came UPS. I
don't wonder why either. I'm glad UPS was there for the EL, but they surely
have evolved into more of a liability than anything else. I had a job once
in the late 90's doing shipping and receiving for a company sending VERY
fragile items. Minerals and fossils. We were FORBID to send anything UPS
under the direction that they would hose our company when it came to claims.
My 2 cents.
