Post Office Issue

[Archive]

Posted By: Tony Galovich

The biggest problem is every post office does things differently.
I deal with 2 post offices & each interprets the rules their own way
Even though all post offices are supposed to follow one policy
So basically you spend your money & take your chances

Do you ship via Fedex?
I hear the max you can insure cards is $500
BUT they will allow you to insure for $50K if you like
not that you will ever collect $50K
Nice scam they are running

Here is a new one from the USPS
I shipped a $100 gift certificate & insured it for it's full value
Then they tell me if it's lost I can only collect 15% of it's insured value
What's up with That?

Insuring things is A Joke
Send with Delivery Confirmation or Registered mail is best

I have a guy who ships me $3K of silver bullion with delivery confirmation only
Nothing lost yet!!

It seems insuring a items tells the carrier something Valuable is Inside

I've sent cash thru the mail via 1st class literally 100's of times in my lifetime (small amounts of course)
Never lost one letter yet

Spend your $$$ & take your chances
