But UPS tells me now the just need me to fill a pro forma bill they
issue on their website, with serial numbers and complete address + firm ID of DAG.

There are certainly plenty of people who won't touch UPS too. My own personal experience having received many packages over the years by the USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL et al is just one badly damaged package that happened to be delivered by UPS. Nothing lost and I certainly don't hold UPS responsible for the damaged shipment. But I will personally only ship by USPS Express Mail. I've had no problems, the post office is very convenient (two within walking distance of my house), shipping is a price bargain and their tracking is slowly but surely getting better. Just my own experience...

I actually asked in my local post office the other day what the limit was as I had sold an expensive lens and was insuring it for full replacement (near $3K). I was told the insurance limit was $5000, above that you have to go by courier.
