most of the stuff i buy anymore for fishing/boating /hunting has to come from online stores as their just isn't brick/mortar stores in my area that stock the specific things i need. In case you buy online alot and have anything shipped, be aware of my UPS experience.
I just had an item shipped from out of state, to me, by an official UPS store who packaged, shipped and insured it for 2500. it was a small box and they charged me around $150 for the service with a lot of the cost being for the insurance . it was destroyed while it was in UPS custody somewhere along UPS's route. it has been over 2 months dealing with the UPS store and corporate UPS regarding the claim, and they keep giving me the runaround. Corporate UPS says they approved the claim but are still waiting on documents by the UPS store. the UPS store says they sent the documents and UPS denied the claim. each side has referred me back to the other and I cannot get them to give me specifics on either end. I cannot get any resolution to this matter.
funny how they have commercials on tv about shipping through their ups stores as giving the customer "piece of mind". my experience is that they do not stand behind their packaging, insurance and service to their customers. I just wanted to give an account of a real experience dealing with UPS in case someone was believing their commercials as I did.
