UPS "lost" this Ken Smith Bass....Please Check it out!

Thats not really a fair thing to say. Tgey do things with boxes that would destroy any piece of electronic equipment, even if it was in a shock mount flight case.
I respect your opinion, but I disagree. I ask you, how far are you willing to go to protect your prized piece of gear? I go to great lengths, and I have yet to have a damage claim. I work in the industry, and I have seen everything. The shipper could have prevented virtually all damages. There are exceptions, of course.
 
I work for a company that had the warehouse employees stealing from the UPS truck. They would tell the driver that the warehouse manager had to sign for the packages received. The manager would stall the driver while the dirtballs would steal packages from the truck.
UPS put a employee in a box with a hole and video camera in the truck and did not tell the driver in case he was involved in the theft. UPS tries to halt this kind of stuff from happening but the thieves seen to out number the good guys
