I shipped a keyboard cross country with UPS. It was well packaged, in an SKB flight case within a cardboard keyboard shipper and insured.

The keyboard arrived at its destination with very minor damage(repaired)but of course UPS wouldn’t cover because they said it was in the wrong cardboard container(a keyboard cardboard shipper). Of course it was also in an ATA SKB flight case.

Local UPS shop helped me with initial packaging...did a great job and later told me that UPS rarely will cover damage they cause in shipping.

Guess I’m going to have to rethink shipping through UPS.
