I'm surprized UPS(OOPS), even let that be shipped like that. Our local OOPS is rather stringent about packaging. They denied the claim but then turned around and said it wasn't their problem as it wasn't packaged properly? Hmmmmmmmmm..........perhaps a call to the AG's office???

Looks like someone just put it into an oversized box with no packing/padding? Maybe Aflac will cover it?
