Wtf with the ups stores?

[dirtytough]

I had the same issue shipping a scope. Now I package stuff myself, pay through UPS.com which is cheaper than going into the store. Not sure what BR means about them denying all insurance claims? Is it because they say there is inadequate packaging? My mom owns a shipping store and helps people make claims all the time when a package gets lost or damaged whether they shipped it through her or not. I package my stuff so it can't get damaged. I only ever worry about them losing it.

I told the ups store I was gonna do the same thing.
Package and label it myself. And not tell them what was in it.
She said if I then have a claim on my scope they would deny it because I hid from them a item they considered prohibited. Aka ups store wont ship scopes.

It’s not a scope, it’s an alignment aperture for a theodolite.

So, you say optical enhancer when they ask what is in the package, they can say they will deny a claim but really they cannot if they accepted the shipment. People say a lot of things....especially the progressive morons. My local UPS store is awesome.

Had a friend try to return a shotgun to Mossberg. In the original box with a prepaid label from Mossberg. Local UPS store wouldn't do it. Fedex did. mtmuley

Good post and information. I recently brought a frozen and salted turkey skin to a UPS store to ship to an out of state taxidermist. The clerk had a long, secret conversation with the store manager and finally said she would ship the trophy. Now I understand. Forget the UPS stores.
