That stinks, Mark.

I have heard collecting on a claim from the USPS can also be a near impossibility.

My only experience with a claim was over a busted beer light. The carrier was DHL...what are the chances of that?....the claim was paid promptly, with a minimum of hassle.

Do you think you item was packed well enough?

Default bROKEN ITEM

That is a real shame. I have only had a claim with the USPS and I got a check right now. BUT, I didn't take out more insurance, which I should have, so I
am glad they were glad to send me $50.00. Never had a problem with UPS.

Wow Mark...A damaged item is bad enough, the run-a-round with customer service would be difficult to take. Sorry for your misfortune.

Makes me sick just looking at it. Hopefully this will be resolved. Good luck!

I have one better than that. I PAID the UPS store to pack some bobble heads that I sent inside the park collectibles and insured it. Some were damaged. They would NOT pay the full amount of the claim, even though Lou wrote the price guide.
Someone told me that your better off taking the insurance money and putting in a coffee can and paying yourself.

Yep... All true, and aligned to a tee with my experience. They simply don't care.

UPS has so many disclaimers and "outs" within their fine print contract, that the odds of ever cashing in on a claim are "Needle in a Haystack" territory. It's among the most exasperating and hopeless processes I've ever encountered.

I loved the quote above referencing mild-mannered office ladies having meltdowns. Unless you are a robot, that is the exact effect they have.

You are, but then you would have to have the self-discipline to actually do it. Also, if you have a large collection, it could take years to accumulate enough money in the coffee can to cover what could happen during that period. Insurance companies can afford to 'put money in the coffee can' for you, which is why they exist.
