Comment on Hot Ones trying to sneak in the package protection

  Only up to a smallish amount, it’s been a few years but i think it was like $100 cad

    That seems like it enough to cover most packages, including op’s.

      Given the small fee in ops screenshot, most likely. We don’t know who their shipper is.

      My understanding is trying to get reimbursed by ups is also a time consuming headache. They make you wait a while, need evidence, etc etc etc. I can just ship a replacement right away and as long as the original package stays lost, I don’t have to worry about not being reimbursed.

      Also ups sucks so much I’d rather give that insurance money to someone other than them.

        I can attest that USPS includes insurance up to $100 and making a claim is easy. UPS is privately owned though, so I wouldn’t be surprised of getting them to pay out is more difficult.
