liability shipping
Can shipping companies be held liable for consequential damages?
<p>I sent some goods in bulk to a client worth a lot of money from India and UPS delivered the good 20 days later than the expected delivery date causing a major loss for my business as the client cancelled the order.  Do I have any claim against them for those damages?</p>

<h2>No</h2>

<p>Under your <a href="https://www.ups.com/assets/resources/media/terms_service_us.pdf#page32" rel="nofollow noreferrer">contract</a> with UPS (Clause 55.2):</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL UPS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSE­QUENTIAL DAMAGES ... </p>
</blockquote>
