can you edit t****is response: On Feb *, * customer came in to T****e UPS Store wit**** t****eir item (buffalo ****ead) and t****eir own box in w****ic**** t****e item was s****ipped. T****e customer was told by our associate t****at t****e item will not be considered store packed, as t****e item was s****ipped in t****e customer’s provided box. T****e buffalo ****ead fit tig****tly in t****e box, and t****e customer did not pay for additional packing services, w****ic**** is an additional ervice we offer for items t****at are s****ipped at our location. T****is additional purc****ase was not made by t****e customer, as is reflected on ****is receipt. T****e customer did not purc****ase any packing services for t****is item, and in instances w****ere no packing is purc****ased, we do not pack t****e items, and t****e “pack and s****ip” guarantee also does not apply for t****ese s****ipments. However, out of curtesy, my employee used lig****t packaging suc**** as bubble and loose fill around t****e item and s****ipped t****e item even t****oug**** no purc****ase was made for any packing services. As t****e customer mentioned, ****e did declare a value on t****e item, and t****e declared value’s terms and conditions were agreed upon by t****e customer as part of t****e s****ipment agreements w****ic**** is signed before any payment is made for t****e s****ipment. Declared Value program is a value declaration, not an insurance program, and is ****andled by UPS Capital Claims, w****ic**** is a corporate entity separate from our location T****e UPS Store. As is normal for any damaged s****ipments, t****e customer opened a claim due to ****is item arrived damaged, and t****e claims process was completed t****roug**** an online portal and submitted to UPS Capital Claims. Ultimately, UPS Capital Claims are t****e ones w****o ****andle claims and any denial/approval. We at t****e store do not ****ave a way to ****onor any declared value claims, approve any claims nor negate t****e process of approval/denial of any claims. T****e customer paid $*.* for t****e s****ipment at our store, did not purc****ase any additional packing services w****ic**** would ****ave made t****e s****ipment qualify for “pack and s****ip” guarantee, and as suc****, we are not responsible for t****e declared value payout. Attac****ed is t****e claim denial by UPS Capital Claims, t****e receipt t****at s****ows no packing services were purc****ased, and t****e total amount t****at was paid at our location.
On Feb *, *, t****e customer broug****t a buffalo ****ead and a box to our UPS Store for s****ipment. T****e associate informed t****e customer t****at since t****e item was in t****eir own box, it wouldn't be deemed store-packed. T****e customer didn't opt for our additional packing services, reflected in t****eir receipt. T****oug**** not obligated, our staff added lig****t packing materials as a courtesy.
T****e customer declared a value for t****e buffalo ****ead, agreeing to terms and conditions prior to payment. Declared Value program, managed by UPS Capital Claims, is not insurance but a value declaration.
W****en t****e customer reported damage to t****e item, a claim was submitted to UPS Capital Claims. As a franc****ise, we don't control t****e claim approval/denial process.
T****e customer paid $*.* for t****e s****ipment at our store wit****out purc****asing t****e additional packing services needed for a "pack and s****ip" guarantee. T****us, we're not responsible for t****e declared value payout.
Enclosed are t****e claim denial by UPS Capital Claims and t****e receipt s****owing no purc****ase of packing services.
