Not when there's a hot new trend of charging extra at checkout for "shipping protection" from some shell of a company named Route, on top of paying for shipping. And checking it by default, too, so most folks probably never even notice.

"By declining package protection, $merchantname is not responsible for lost, damaged, or stolen items."

Of course they still are responsible, but some companies like this are making it clear they're not gonna deal with their own selected shippers when they fuck up
