and, the lamest statement i have heard to date: "that since I didnt ask for insurance, I was at fault for the damage." people are constantly and consistently trying to offload responsibility on who ever they think will take it. it is not the buyer's responsibility to ask for insurance. the seller offers it. if the buyer doesn't want to pay, sometimes i do it anyway just to avoid the hassle of things like this thread - and it all comes down to not wanting to pay an extra $0.50. ****ing kids.

He and his mother both think he is not responsible for the damage because I never asked for insurance. Regardless of whether there was insurance on it or not, UPS denied the coverage saying HE was at fault. "****ing kids" with dumb-ass parents.
When I ship anything, I see insurance as protection for the shipper, not the buyer. I think this is especially the case for a high value item in a private sale because you cannot replace the part. $0.50 insurance is easy, $2.00 in packing foam is common sense, the logic to put it all together is obviously priceless.
Almost every decent company follows the same procedure of insuring anything of value, because crap like this does happen. I think ebay is the only company that bull****s the buyer with the condition of insurance for coverage.
