We are pretty hesitant to use UPS when sending this to and from plating. Unless it is small lightweight parts we can pack well enough we can punt it across the shop it goes with a courier. It adds cost, but even if the plater does a poor job repacking they are more likely to arrive undamaged from shipping. We have one plater who is really fast but even with giant red letters and a phone call saying not to send back loose, then still come back loose with our packing material thrown back in the box. We also set up our own anodizing line which comes in handy on small order rush work. Had a part a couple months ago that went from bar stock to finished anodized in about 3 hours.
Unless the customer is really in a hurry and I have okayed it with them, all parts come back from plating for a final visual inspection. Depending on the tolerance of the part we will also verify critical dimensions.
