[1000mp] FT1000mp

[Cecil Acuff]

The contract with UPS is with the shipper.  Since Garry didn't enter into 
the contract with UPS they were only obligated to pay Alpha who was their 
customer.  The issue was how much did they insure it for when they shipped 
it.  If they received full retail from UPS then it was unfair the way they 
treated Garry on the purchase of the replacement amp.  You will never know 
the answer to that question.

Rod you were the shipper with UPS so you were paid the claim.

I understand it's hard to get a claim paid now days.  Easy for them to claim 
improper packing issues....but I've had much better luck in this area of the 
country getting stuff shipped without damage than using FedEx especially 
USPS.   I've actually picked up USPS boxes out of the road that have fallen 
out of the truck and delivered them myself to the address listed on the 
box....
