Shipping via UPS.

I just shipped an item via UPS, COD and insured. Well, UPS did an excellent job getting the package there. They left the package at the door, collected no money, and there, BINGO, is UPS in all it's glory. My warning to fellow audiophiles is to always INSURE items, use Fed-Ex for big ticket items - say over a couple thousand $$, but don't just send UPS ground and forget about it. Last 2 weeks ago, UPS left $2,000 worth of equipment at door, even though the package had a "adult signature required" sticker on it. Can you imagine losing several thousand dollars worth of stuff and then have to cough up legal expenses while fighting UPS in court for 18 months. Not a pretty sight.

I just received a CAL DX-2 via UPS yesterday. It arrived in fine condition, but they left it on my front porch! No one signed for it. I live in a good neighborhood, but jeez, it was sitting there all day long. I thought UPS was required to collect a signature to verify delivery. If it had been stolen, and even though it was insured, I couldn't prove it had never been delivered! Grrrr!!!!

I'll never use UPS, that's for sure.
