It been years, but when I worked there (UPS contractor at the airport) the package had to be delivered regardless of damage caused in transit. It was up to the receiver to file the appropriate claim for damage.
It's part of the business that things are going to get damaged. The best advice I can give anyone shipping a fragile item is to pack it for bear and darned sure don't mark it. It's like a challenge with some of those guys to see what leaks out.....
