[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 771873, member: 9789"] For UPS to pay a claim, the contents of the box would have had to be declared. How do you declare a value on an item that is illegal to ship? I would equate that to illegal drugs. Question from [B]UPS Grunt[/B] - Since they were not tagged as A8 or signature required, were driver released, and say a kid got a hold of it and there was liability issues; who would be liable, UPS for delivering, or the shipper for improper labeling? The liability would be on the shipper. This is assuming that an investigation resulted in UPS and the driver following prescribed methods and policies and the shipper did not declare the contents. The investigative authority would go to the shipper's location unannounced and check the facility, packages and the documentation of the parcels shipped. UPS could be held to some culpability if the documentation shows that the contents is in fact wine. Take it one step further, if it could be proved that the driver knew what was in the box and Driver Released it anyway the driver could be held liable also. This could be civil or criminal depending on the circumstances. [/QUOTE]
