An alternative to UPS - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

27 Jul 2000

When I talked to the shipper, I confirmed that I wanted the package
double-boxed and said I wanted it insured.  UPS started a trace on the
package last Friday afternoon, so I'll be following up tomorrow.  I haven't
given up _all_ hope, but it isn't looking good.

 I'll definitely be looking at alternatives in

 this is that it appears the shipper didn't
bother to insure the package,
despite my instructions to the contrary.  Of course, those instructions  were
 over the phone, not via e-mail, so I'm getting
the "you didn't tell me  you
 wanted me to insure it".  Gee, now why
wouldn't I want it insured? :-(  
     Did you pay the seller to insure the package? If so, then he owes you
 even if he has to pay out of his own pocket.

    My 2 cents worth,
