It has got to be about something different, can't sign a settlement, then sue over the same issue.
Ouch! So much for pinching pennies.

UPS argued it followed the rules and can only do so much to police what its 1.6 million daily shippers send in sealed packages.
"New York's action sought to force UPS to serve in a quasi-law enforcement role which involved monitoring, inspecting and reporting package contents, which is not appropriate for a common carrier," UPS spokesman Steve Gaut said in a statement.
"The Court found UPS in full compliance since 2015 and rejected the request for an injunction or appointment of a monitor," Gaut said. "New York abandoned a collaborative system to identify and remove illegal cigarette shipments that worked well for years in favor of a lawsuit to seek a monetary windfall."

Nope.
That was 2013 and UPS paid $40 million from illicit online pharmacies under an agreement with the U.S. Justice Department. The company wasn’t prosecuted in that case.
FedEx was also sued, but their case was thrown out during trial, paying nothing.
This lawsuit was filed last year.

That's why we moved. NY started needing our money too.

"The suit alleged that tobacco retailers located on upstate reservations were given price discounts for shipping in volume. It said delivery drivers were allowed to accept iPads and other gifts from shippers and that account executives, whose compensation was tied to keeping big accounts, ignored signs that some customers signing delivery contracts dealt in cigarettes."
How many iPads does @UpstateNYUPSer have stuffed under the Christmas Tree from the Oneida Indian Nation?
See? The drivers are always at fault.

Maybe for those off brand stoges, Camel and Marlboro are up around $5 for a pack. Liberal American Spirits are like $8-$9.
