[QUOTE="brownrodster, post: 632041, member: 10437"] UPS will be more interested in the packaging and packing material than they are the actual damage to the item. When I was part time I was a damage clerk for a while. I rarely saw any damaged item that had sufficient packaging. Did you have 2 inches of packing material between the item and the box? Were the contents able to shift inside the box? Did you double box the item? If you just threw the bose in a box and shipped it then you are SOL. If you put just a little bit of packing material in the box but the bose could still move around in the box then you are SOL. Generally, if something gets damaged it's because the packaging was insufficient. The best way to ship anything via UPS is to double box it. Place the item in a box and pack it tight with packing material so the contents cannot shift. Place that box inside a larger box. Fill the void between the boxes tightly with packing material so the smaller box cannot shift inside the larger box. Now if anything you pack in this manner gets destroyed then UPS will surely pay your claim. And that's the catch, stuff packed like this rarely gets destroyed. [/QUOTE]
