Anyone else receive a class notice of the "EVIC Litigation" concerning UPS?

I was going to post this in FS/FT since it seemed more relevant to the posters there, but it seemed rather off topic...maybe it can be moved if it's determined to be more pertinent than I gathered.


Anyways, I got the short form notice in the mail on a post-card today.

It gave a link to this website (which has various information on the matter).

http://www.noticeclass.com/EVICLitigation/

According to how they defined class, I am a member (As far as I can tell, except for the named exceptions in the notice, it's anyone who has sent something via UPS and paid for additional insurance to go beyond the $100 that is covered. I've paid this for plenty of hard drives, motherboards, etc that I've sent out or RMAd).

I'm trying to figure out if I should send a letter to exclude myself.

I can't see what the defendants could hope to claim, but it would suck if I had to end up paying something to UPS if I remained a member of the class.

Any thoughts? Any other recipients of a notice long or short?

I'm sure that PAB has and probably has a lot of info to offer, his UPS beacon is probably going off right now and he'll be here momentarily.

all this means is that if the ruling is against ups, you will be in on the settlement and removed from any future claims regarding this class action lawsuit. unless you want to sue ups on your own as a separate lawsuit then why not go with it?
if you have done the evic many times it seems to me that it would be worth it to you to be in the class.
