Re: UPS question regarding the declared value of package
Insurance is a fine line also when shipping. Like art work or personal items that can not be replaced. UPS will not cover these items unless they are a duplicate or you follow their guidelines to a T. Its in the fine print when shipping items.
So you ship a 150yr old item. You dont declare its an original or non replaceable. Regardless of damage they will not cover. Now if you claim it, it has to be packaged exactly how they state it has to be in order for them to be liable for it. Which shipping how they say to do it is nuts!
if you over insure a package they will only pay actual value of the item depending on condition, not what you say its worth. Also depending on value take the item from you when you are paid. Then they sell it online to recoup some of the money on it. Yes they all have ebay account!

May the wind always be at your back and the sun upon your face, and may the wings of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars.
