Condensed version:

It'll get there when we deliver it in the condition it's delivered in. Any thing that happens is your problem for using UPS.

I hate to defend lawyers. GOD I hate to defend lawyers. But the truth is - lawyerspeak exists because of all the a$$holes in the world (and especially in the good old USA) willing to sue anybody, anytime, for any perceived slight.

McDonalds was sued for $90,000,000 because some stupid bitch spilled coffee on herself.

Without greed, there would be a lot fewer lawyers.

Still, the idea that she was paid 3M for being stupid explains the need for so many lawyers. "

"Why didn't someone tell me coffee is hot and that I shouldn't squeeze a paper cup between my legs?"

Idiot.

"We need to say all this stuff because we are UPS. And, in it's inevitability, we're gonna smash your stuff, so this gets us out of any situation that may arise from the aforementioned smashing, even though we will charge you brokerage fees on top of the damaged or lost product."

Fecking bastards. Lawyers suck too.

couldn't agree more.

At MOST she should have gotten her medical bills paid for..and maybe a cup of coffee on the house.

Even if the coffee was too hot --dont put it between your legs, and get it with milk, FOOL.
