Basically, unless it was boxed at a UPS store (even then they would try to find a way not to pay), it will come down to the packaging and they'll claim it wasn't sufficient to protect the package.
Been through this before with UPS. Never got a dime.
Looks like a super comfy chair you got there....

My stainless bed trim had a subtle shipping bend that I've learned to live with, so I feel his pain.
To be fair, it is possible to package this stuff cheaply and properly (I've ordered a whole car's worth of side trim) in a Schedule 40 PVC pipe, etc. If it's packed insufficiently, then I don't think UPS should be on the hook, do you?
Now if it's brain-dead obviously packaged well enough and got run over by a truck, that's different, but I doubt that happened here.
Based on the packages I've received from eBay sellers over the years, I'd wager most of the times UPS says it was improperly packaged, it probably was.
Had a guy offer to ship me broken stuff and claim it (there's a whole Seinfeld episode on that topic). Didn't even know me, and like we were going to conspire to defraud the shipper!
