I could tell a long story that includes me yelling at UPS reps, but I will spare you all. Just don't use them if you can help it. And none, as far as I can determine will payoff on lost images, whether or not you insured them, for more than the cost of replacement film stock. Sending off a batch of images (as I did the other day) for a job that would cost $40-50,000 to reshoot (with travel, product shipping, models, crew, etc.) is always nailbiting time until it arrives--and never by UPS! They are my second to last resort (US Postal is last). Airborne has discount rates for ASMP members that are pretty good. And they are nicer to deal with. But FedEx also good, but pricey.
