If you ship auto body parts this way they are more likely to get there
intact than if you wrap them like china. If you want to be ABSOLUTELY SURE
that your stuff gets there intact with UPS, insure it

Most of the time that works. I've found, though, that UPS is
occasionally capable of destroying the most carefully packed items.
You are absolutely correct.
A friend who used to do seasonal work for UPS
during the holiday season had some stories about how he'd see people
throw packages
$100. If they had to pay too many claims, they wouldn't be around very
long.
They have been in business since 1907.
My grandfather worked for them when he lived in LA. Said his
finger stub was because he wore it down ringing doorbells! (Really
a sawmill accident.) This was when kids used to
BZT, WRONG. I ship doors, hoods, fenders, bumpers etc that way and
they NEVER arrive damaged. When I have tried to ship them some other
way that bare, they arrive damaged at least 50% of the time.

I have no idea the actual reason, but my theory is that if its NOT
wrapped, they can see what they are dealing with, but if its wrapped,
they tend to just throw it around thinking it will be safe???

OK how's this? YMMV.
You're not kidding. You want to see the royal treatment for packages,
that's it. I saw one for that much, and I think there was one that was
for something like $50K. Those packages didn't even make it to the main
terminal, they sat in the managers office and were the absolute best
treated
Figure it this way... If I delivered a package in a box, as long as the
box looks halfway decent, then I delivered it intact, despite what the
innards may look like.
Now, if I have an exhaust system that now has a pipe bent in half, well
umm, I'm going to have the manager take care of that

I have a rear hatch for a 300TD available for pick up. It is primed,

As long as the glass is not installed in it all you do is slap a lable
on it and have DHL/fedex come and pick it up.

That's the lazy man's way. It would get some damage for sure that

Yeah, I used to work for Fedex Home Delivery(in the same terminal as the
Ground guys). If I got something in the open(i.e. unpackaged), I took
better care of it, as it would be easier to damage and more obvious if
it was damaged. Most everything was in boxes though. Those things get
tossed
That's the lazy man's way. It would get some damage for sure that

packed items.
Believe it or not, open bulk or irreg items (as they are referred to) get
treated pretty well if they are open and NOT boxed. I won a bladder tank
I would gladly do that if someone is interested. I just cannot go to
the issues of taking it anywere, boxing it, worrying about it getting
beat up, etc. If someone wants to handle it like Rick describes, I am
