    My UPS store told me the same thing. However they also said if I show them it was packed in the original box with the original packing material that would also be accepted and insurable.

    It just sounds scammy to me. I've had a similar problem before: Package shipped by UPS to me, try to ship it back in the same package was denied. FedEx gives me no problem. Maybe a local thing.

    Also, UPS stores won't ship items with declared value above (i think) $2000 - has to be shipped through a UPS regional distribution center.

    Nintendo Wii had something similar back in 2010 or so. Can't find the specific games now but it was basically a hat you put on with EEG sensors inside.

    I don't believe so but cattle are pretty dumb so who knows. But when it comes to cats (especially large cats), they are hard wired opportunist. So different kind of instinct than what is going through a horny bull's mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axcPoS2sF0E
