BAUER, Chief Judge.
This spicy case finds its origin in several shipments of Jamaican sweet peppers. Ap-pellee Sea-Land Services, Inc. (“Sea-Land”), an ocean carrier, shipped the peppers on behalf of The Pepper Source (“PS”), one of the appellants here. PS then stiffed Sea-Land on the freight bill, which was rather substantial. Sea-Land filed a federal diversity action for the mon ey it was owed.
