UPS will not honor this claim.
We sent a large air conditioning unit - very carefully packed and
packaged - from Oakland, Ca. to a repair shop in Escondido, Ca. We
insured it for its value: about $1000.
When it arrived the repair shop refused to accept it, noting that the
packaging was seriously damaged in shipping. They have provided me
written confirmation of this.
UPS meanwhile has the unit somewhere (It's been six weeks so far) and
they refuse to make good on this, claiming that the packaging job we
did was not sufficient.
Can anybody offer any suggestions on this.
Thank you,
J. Michael

When you bought the insurance, you probably got a receipt outlining the
conditions. What does it say?

I know someone who shipped some stuff he had just bought at Ikea - it
was packaged the same way it came from the store. UPS damaged it, and
tried to say the same thing.
After much back and forth, he got a little money back. One of his
arguments was that they accepted the packaging.
Anyway, it seems kind of odd to ship an AC to be repaired. Wouldn't it
be easier to get a repairman out there?
Just call up some flakes and they wreck it some more.
Thank you,

Sue 'em dude. There's general jurisdiction over UPS in every state. File
small claims and they won't show up, you present your case, get a default
judgment. Then send 'em the bill and they'll pay. (If they don't you can
attach their bank accounts and such, but IME big corps always pay when you
get a judgment before that point).
