[QUOTE="laffter, post: 1144881, member: 43119"] I didn't read this entire thread, so I apologize if what I say has already been said in the last 4 pages. I read the first page. [I]jmusbach[/I], as stated previously, most damage to packages occurs [B]before[/B] entering the driver's truck. The driver who delivered your package did not personally pick it up from the shipper and transport it to you. Many, many, hands have handled it in-transit. It can be unloaded and sorted several times before arriving to you. How did your TV get damaged? Maybe a guy who loads trailers put something heavy on top of it. Maybe the preloader who loads the delivery truck put something heavy on it. Maybe either of them got angry and kicked the *hit out of it. Or maybe it got damaged in UPS's own sorting system. A part time worker or a full time driver is not allotted any more time to handle a large television than a two-ounce envelope. Packages are mistreated daily at UPS, on all sides of the spectrum. I've actually seen a driver step on a television box to reach a package on the top shelf. But, this is least common. Most abuse occurs in the building. Packages are thrown on top of other packages every day, no matter the size or weight. Until UPS puts service over production, this will not change, and that will never happen. When shipping anything, through UPS, FedEx, or the US Postal Service, you accept the risk of damage to whatever you are shipping. You were smart in insuring the package. Hopefully UPS pays you.
