UPS was happy to take my insurence money when I sent my IIIg to Leica Canada for a CLA. Seem to me that if they took my money for insurence that thay have, defacto, insured it. On the other hand, have you ever tried to collect from the USPS for an insured package? The last time I tried, I was told that I had to PROVE what was in the package because they "had no way of knowing that it contained what I said it did, or that it was worth that much money.
