[Yaesu] Why does anyone ship UPS?

[Jerry Lofstead]

Mike,

It obvious you have never had any problems with UPS.   My
theft rate in their system has been real bad...  a 21"
Heathkit TV kit, a small computer server (large tower 70
pounds), several smaller electronic items i.e. high value
items.  I have had a SB100 is sent that looked like it was run
over by the truck and took me over 8 months to get a
settlement.  Several of the boxes I have received were all
torn up on the outside.  The TLC that used to be with UPS is
long gone.   When I worked for AT&T we shipped Airborne and
never had a problem with hem or FedEx.
