I went through this some years back.
UPS is not required to obtain a signature, and often they do not
try to get one.  If they DO NOT obtain a signature, and the package
is never recieved by the addresse, they are liable for the replacement
value.

For several years now, UPS has not been collecting signatures in many cases
because it is cheaper for them to dump the package and pay up on what claims
there are than to make multiple attempts at delivery ...
