UPS lost defective phone

[bigrob94]

I received a replacement phone because my old one was defective.  The next day I placed the defective phone in the box, added the provided return label and sent off at the UPS store. 

I chatted with a representative of Verizon a couple weeks later because the phone hadn't yet arrived.  He took the tracking number and said not to worry.

Today I was notified I'm being charged $500 for the lost defective phone.  This fight is between Verizon and UPS, I shouldn't be charged for this.
