This is weird, I've never had any problems with UPS and paintball gear!
If you are getting kit from US suppliers, rather than second hand and have a problem, just get on to the suppliers to sort it out.
Only thing to check is the small print on the shipping terms for international orders. If its F.O.B origin then the supplier has all reponsibility for the package until it gets to you. So don't pay UPS or any other courier, to send anything back if it hasn't reached you, EVER!!!!
