LI Tom, I had something broken, and they do have to wait something like 30 days to pay out on a claim, I don't think that's anything new. They paid.
Anyone else have a BAD experience with the US post Office ?

Always use Delivery Conformation or Signature Conformation. If the package is on the street and scanned, it captures the Long./Lat.. It may not tell the difference between 200 and 202 South Main St. but it will tell if it's 200 North Main St..
If you have made a complaint at your local P.O. and had no satisfaction, make a complaint on line. Your local office has to resolve those to someone up above.
One of my customers once had a tube of 6' fishing poles lost at a processing center in California. He complained locally and had no resolve. Filed on line complaint and the Supervisor here had been in the processing center and called there, and told the supervisor there to go to a certain place in the line and get the package. It was a place along the line where clerks would pull oversized packages off the conveyor belt and never get them put back on the conveyor. The large packages mess up the system. My customer got his rods delivered. Good luck.

I got a call from the Post Office later in the day and the package was found and is about 60 miles from the town it needs to go to. It should be delivered 1-18-2019. I do not need to tell you i was a bit scared for a while. I DO WANT to thank everyone so far that gave there input on this. i can see in the future anyone i ship to will have the option to purchase insurance . I will keep all notified on its progress here AND THANKS !!!

Very happy to read you/they found the shipment Gary. It can be very stressful when a buyer doesn’t get his delivery.

I run a business and receive the payments through my PO box. On numerous occasions I have received envelopes that are ripped in half with no contents and ripped open with nothing in it.... No explanation from the post office they just shrug their shoulders.

From Angleton Texas I sent my 2014 Taxes to my tax preparing accountant in California. I sent all my Papers in a solid envelope with the correct TO: address as well as the correct FROM: address both absolutely legible, like word processed labels. It went from Angleton to Houston, a 32 mile distance, and did not leave the Houston office for two months. They said it was a bad address. How Odd as FedEx had absolutely no problem delivering the second set of my papers to the Cali address. When I asked the Angleton Post Master to get the package back I was told they could not return it to me post haste as I asked for it back, its my tax papers!!
They FINALLY received the package back in Angleton, 2 months later, telling me it was a bad address so I showed them the business card for my CPA, same address as on the package. She was astonished when I requested a full refund for my Certified, Return Receipt package that was never delivered to Cali. She also NEVER even looked at the tracking information so she understood what had happened to the customers mail.
Some US P.O.'s still have integrity but a Heck of a lot of them Are Useless as used toilet paper. IMHO.............63bkpkr
