REGULATIONS
I fully understand the rules and regulations
described here:
YES  -   NO
a.  Notation of obvious damage on the carrier's delivery documents;
b.  Retention of all cartons and packing materials;
c.  Notification to U.S.Pak-N-Ship within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt;
d.  Cooperation with U.S.Pak-N-Ship instructions for processing the claim.
1. Unless another value is declared, in writing (and appears on customers receipt), in advance of shipment,
each parcel shall be deemed to have a maximum value of $100 if carried by UPS or FedEx, and no value if
carried by USPS.  The entry of a COD amount or Customs Value is NOT a declaration of value.
2.  Any item received for packing and/or shipping may be opened by U.S.Pak-N-Ship or carrier for
inspection.
3.  Articles of a hazardous nature or those prohibited by the carrier or any governmental body shall not be
accepted.
4.  Customer accepts full responsibility for damage to any article packed by customer.  Customer is responsible
for determining proper specifications for the contents prior to packing.
5.  In no event shall this U.S.Pak-N-ship be liable for any consequential, incidental or special damages which
may arise from loss, damage, nondelivery, or delayed delivery.  This limitation shall apply to, but not be
limited to, damages for loss or profit or income.
6.  Customer warrants that the address label is complete and accurate, and agrees to hold U.S.PAK-N-SHIP
Postal harmless for packages that are lost or misdelivered because of an inaccurate address.  If carrier is
required to correct the address or deliver to another address, customer agrees to pay reasonable fees
associated with this additional service.  Address correction charges will also apply to any UPS or FedEx
shipment sent to a P.O. Box or Rural Route Box.  Address corrections may result in delivery delays that
neither U.S.Pak-N-Ship nor the carrier can be responsible for.  In addition, FedEx will not reroute or dispose of
undeliverable shipments at no cost if the undeliverable shipment is not related to a service failure.  
Undeliverable shipments will now be returned via FedEx Express Saver (3 business day service) at the
Customer's expenseU.S.Pak-N-Ship reserves the right to hold any return shipment until Customer reimburses
U.S.Pak-N-Ship[ for the return shipment fees.
7. Customer is responsible for furnishing adequate information to permit U.S.Pak-N-Ship and the carrier to
investigate claims for loss or damage.  Such information shall include consignee's name, address, telephone
number, date of shipment, parcel contents, value, and package ID number.
8.  Before requesting tracing of an undelivered package, customer must verify non-receipt with the
consignee and wait a reasonable period of time which shall be determined by U.S.Pak-N-Ship.  All tracing
and tracking is to be done by U.S.Pak-N-Ship personnel.
9.  In the event of parcel damage, U.S.Pak-N-Ship will process a claim if all of the following steps are taken
by either the customer or the consignee:
10. In the event of loss or damage of any article, U.S.Pak-N-Ship liability shall be limited to the lesser of (a) the
actual cash value of the article or (b) the amount necessary to repair or replace the article, or (c) the amount
declared by the customer, in writing, at the time of shipment.
11.  Carrier may deny any claim for damage caused by "shock" to sheet glass, electronics, or other items not
suitable to the shipping environment.  U.S.Pak-N-Ship will not assume liability in these cases.
12. In order to establish actual cash value in the event of damage or loss, customer is responsible for
furnishing U.S.Pak-N-Ship with an original invoice, receipt or appraisal which is not more than one year old.  
The amount declared by customer at the time of shipment is not an acceptable proof of value.
13.  Customer agrees that once a claim for loss or damage has been paid, customer waives all rights to file
further claims on that particular shipment.
14.  In the case of items shipped via United States Postal Service, customer is fully aware that claims or
tracing is impossible without the purchase of special services at the time of shipment.
