I've never had a problem with UPS. The only thing that arrived damaged
here via UPS had been packed atrociously, was originally addressed to
the wrong destination in another state, and, I suspect, was trashed to
begin with.
I'll forgo the details, since I don't have proof of that last, but I
don't recall ever seeing the party in question here, at least.
I once worked in a largish warehouse where we got stuff via UPS every
day. No problems with UPS then, either.

I'm
wondering how UPS manages to stay in business anymore. I've
shipped about four things via UPS in the past year, and EVERY ONE OF
THEM arrived damaged to some extent. WTF??
If FedEx dropped their price a little I think more people would use
them vice UPS. Thankfully the SGI Indigo2 and 19" monitor I was waiting
on arrived today by UPS and appears to have come through the ordeal at
least physically intact. Then again, it was professionally custom
boxed. My dealings with UPS has been less than satisfactory over the
years though and I'd just as soon not deal with them if I could.
