Here's what you get when using UPS

Yeah, if I had time, maybe...

But it's already in the trash and on its way to the dump. Not worth the time/effort to squabble with UPS any longer, as they don't budge. The fact that they have no accountability when returning the item is the ultimate double-standard.

For those who still choose to use them, be sure you read the fine print stamped on the bottom of the shipping box. Then check with UPS to see if it's an "approved" carton. If it's not approved, then buying the insurance/making a claim is futile and pointless.

Hope this info is helpful, and saves a few of you some time, money and aggravation.

Was a credit card used in any part of the transaction? If so, cc companies can be very reasonable when making a claim.
I would think a modern retail piece like this could be covered under a standard homeowners or renters insurance policy, but the deductible would probably be too high.

Mark, Sorry for what happened with your item! The same thing happened to me, also UPS would not pay for the damage! They STINK! I called them and said I would never use them again! Thing is is that they don`t care. Take Care, Marc

This is good information and I would never have thought of it. Thanks.
