UPS goes woke?

[esshup]

UPS decided not to ship from any business that sells 80% parts. They said they will destroy any items in transit.

Sounds like they want a lot of law suits.

It would appear that FedEx has an opportunity to pick up a lot of business (if they are so inclined to do so).

It does appear that UPS does refuse shipment of @ least some items.

From their website...

www.ups.com/us/en/support/shipping-support/shipping-special-care-regulated-items/prohibited-items.page

Examples of items prohibited by UPS include, but are not limited to the following:

Shipments prohibited by law
Bank bills, notes or currency
Common fireworks
Hazardous waste or hazardous waste service
Human remains, fetal remains, human body parts, human embryos or components thereof
Ivory
Marijuana, including marijuana intended for medicinal use
Postage stamps
Shark fins
Vape products within, to or from the U.S
Also prohibited are: Goods moving under ATA Carnet and all temporary exports and imports; goods moving under FCR, FCT and CAD (Cash Against Document); Shipments with inherent vice, which by their nature are likely to soil, impair or damage persons, merchandise, or equipment; goods, the carriage of which is prohibited by law in the country of origin, transit, or destination (such as ivory); Goods which attract excise duty (ex. spirits), or which require special facilities, safety precautions or permits.

I'm obviously not an attorney, but I don't see how UPS can destroy packages in the pipeline. I would imagine that while they have threatened to do so, they would likely have to return the packages to the sender.

They are avoiding lawsuits for the future. If gun makers and sellers can be held liable for the actions of criminals, so can shippers

Yes they would have the opportunity to lose it or deliver it to the wrong place two things they seem to do constantly

I would agree that FedEx sucks, but companies that find UPS won't work with them won't really have much of a choice.
