"He shipped 245 packages, of which 50 contained rejects. Out of the
50, suppose 3 call UPS. That's about 1% of the volume
the vender shipped that week. The vender increased his profit by
$1470, but will UPS investigate? "

He ships 50 units that don't work and you expect only 3 will result in
a damage claim to UPS? You whole original post was centered on this
being a UPS scam, based on the shipment being labled fragile and that
the vendor took other steps to strongly suggest these items could be
easily damaged in shipping. For that scam to work, UPS must pay off on
a shipping claim. And if a vendor sends out 50 defective parts, I
would expect there to be pretty close to 50 claims against UPS or 50
credit card claims against the vendor, not a mere 3 claims. 47
consumers sure as hell aren't going to just eat this. Did you?
