I guess princess learned a life lesson

[candyshopgirl]

So this was a story the UPS guy told me just a few moments ago.He comes in with this look like he wants to pull his hair out. He tells me that he has spent the last hour on the phone with a girl,then her father,then her mother.I guess miss princess sent home her two pairs of expensive jeans(I don't know why she would send two pairs of jeans).These jeans were worth about 400.00(yes 400.00).Well it seem like they got lost and the princess was upset.
But when she called to report them lost she relized that she insured them for only 400.00.She says she meant to insure them for more and she wrote down the wrong amount.The UPS told her tuff cookies.So not happy the princess calls her daddy. And the dad calls and the UPS guy tell him the same thing.Well then the mom calls and screams that the UPS man can change the amout and why doesn't he(bitch and moan).So this went on for a few more mins and then the mom tells the UPS man that she hopes hes happy.The princess has to buy new jeans.
I just had to laugh and tell the UPS man well I guess the spoiled little princess learned a lesson.Always check all paperwork before you hand it over.I mean really Who are these people!!!!!! 400.00 will pay my car payment.

400 dollars for a pair of jeans? Holy cow.

If they were worth 400, and she insured them for 400, then shouldn't she be able to buy them anyway? Or did she write down something like 40?

Still, that's a heluva lot for clothing... damn.

I assumed she wanted more then the autal value(like any SC). She meant to write down 4000.That's the way I took it.

I have to admit I'm guilty of owning expensive jeans, but only because they're the only brand I've found that fits like they should. Granted, I tend to WEAR my jeans rather than ship them around.

Maybe each pair was worth $400, so she was out the cost of one pair? Though, if you can afford $400 for a pair of jeans, I doubt you'll have much trouble buying a new one.

1st rule of fashion: Just because you PAID a lot for your clothes doesn't mean you can AFFORD it. :-)

Wait a minute...She admitted that the clothes were worth the value she declared; AND she meant to claim more?! Tell me the phone convo was recoreded "For quality assurance". I'm sure local law enforcement will be interested in this badly attempted fraud.

It wouldn't be a fraud if she had actually paid the higher amount for more insurance.

If she bought $1000 worth of insurance, it doesn't matter what the jeans are actually worth. They lost her package, they owe her $1000.

Thats a rule for life not just jeans

a rule that A LOT of people have ignored and are not struggling with

Nope shes an idiot.
The UPS guy gave her the paper and asked her to look at it to make sure everything was correct and sign it.And the girl said yes everything is fine and she signed it without even looking at it.So shes up shit creek without a paddle. Like I said guess the princess will learn hopefully from this.But she won't

A lot of companies will only pay out the insurance if you can prove the value of the item. You can insure a vase for $500, but if you can't come up with a receipt for Waterford crystal, you probably aren't going to get $500.

Besides, two pairs of USED jeans are not worth $400, no matter the brand, unless they have some celebrity's sweat on them and are going up for auction.

Jeez, those $400 princess spent on her jeans could buy me weeks worth of groceries or pay a good chunk of my rent! Judging from the way her parents reacted towards princess' own mistake, I highly doubt she's learned her lesson.

...Hey, if she can afford $400 jeans, who am I to condemn it? Money's meant to be spent. (Mind you, remember where I live. I see a lot of people in Prada and Gucci.)

Excess is excess, whether it's booze and smokes, clothing, cars, entertainment, or food (my personal excess).

That said:

What a b*tch.

Maybe I'm mis-reading the original post, but I thought the problem was that she sent 2 pairs of jeans, each worth $400 (for a total of $800) but she only purchased $400 worth of insurance.

Or am I missing something here?
