Yes the box does show its features, it's also the box it was shipped in--that box was not inside of another box. I guess Sony must of shipped it with other TVs...I thought that since the box made it clear it was a fragile TV it'd be treated as such (thus why it wasn't damaged when Sony shipped it originally) but I suppose I must chalk this up to a expensive lesson. I always keep original packaging for things like this because I've assumed they come shipped with what's needed to keep them safe in regular transport.

Jackburton, I shipped it in what it was shipped with. That box was not contained in any other box. I always keep the materials such products are shipped in assuming that those materials are sufficient for normal transport. But I guess this is a expensive lesson that that's not always the case... UPS could deny it for insufficient packaging, but what they really should do IMO is accept the claim and go after Sony for their poor packaging.

Why should they go after Sony? They got the TV to you in one piece. You were the one who didn't bother packing it right.
There is a package sitting at Staples that I refuse to pick up. The consignee took 24 lbs of Craftsman hand tools and threw them in to a box. No bubble wrap/peanuts/newspapers. The box has been there for over a month. I am on vacation---I wonder of the cover driver will pick it up.

You had me till you started shifting blame to Sony. So tired of people trying to blame someone else for thier mistakes. Just own the fact you screwed up, and as Dave Ramsey says, "pay your stupid tax" in the form of a denied claim.

Not that it matters, but I always hated those big flat-screens. Falling down all day and always in the way.
My solution is to lay TVs and monitors flat on the floor around the rollers.

I know we had a 1200 that had rollers that slid out on what we call the 8000 section now as I have driven it. Not sure if its still in service or not.

That's because you were in a small center. When I was on a preload we had maybe a dozen trucks or more that had a set of rollers in RDL under the 8000 shelf. They were a pain to load around.

Unless you know with 100% certainty and saw it with your own eyes that the driver did it, don't accuse him/her. Drivers are merely the end product of which could be 50 or more people handling a package during it's journey through UPS. I'm sorry your package was damaged in transit but I shall remind you......this damage could have happened even if you used any of the other carriers equipped to handle such a parcel.

Lol. Now he's a professional after 1 week???? Not everything is preloads fault there HERO! Most damages I see come from the hub and preload catches it before advancing the package. Now go back and tell your management team to grab everyone by the b@lls to get everyone to work harder as you once mentioned..
Live and learn.
Probably a contributing factor was working out in the sticks all those years.
Maybe your driver don't like you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Or maybe he or she just doesn't care anymore................we do work for the devil.........FYI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tape them to the shelf!Not that it matters, but I always hated those big flat-screens. Falling down all day and always in the way.

I'm sorry this happened to you js,but I'm not surprised.
It's all about production.The loaders and unloaders are expected to produce,
that's all management cares about.The ones trying to keep the shareholders happy,
have decided that production cancels out claims.
The truth is,only 2 people really care about your TV.The driver that picked it up,
and the one that delivered it.In between,it's a roller derby.
The driver gets in the truck and delivers whatever is in it.
He has no control over what's in it.
Feel free to hate ups,but it was 99.9% NOT the drivers fault.
