-1 for U.S. Postal Service

Shipped a $27 dollar book that I sold on ebay. Buyer gets a torn, open padded envelope with nothing inside, and because I didn't spend the extra dollar or so on insurance I am out that $27 book, the shipping charges, and all the time I spent waiting in line at the dang post office. Looks like I will be going to the UPS Store from now on. Makes me want to go.....POSTAL!

Wow. Just wow.

Another interesting fact.The USPS does not consider a package lost until it is at least 30 days late. They are not a parcel service.

I thought there was a minimum $100.00 coverage with the shipping costs? Or am I thinking UPS?

Was the "torn, open padded envelope" inside a plastic baggies when your buyer got it?

Or marked by the USPS as delivered as is?

It was marked by the USPS as being "received unsealed, received damaged, received without contents." Which is bull because I put so much tape on that package, it was sickening. I am not sure if it was in a bag or not. She is sending me a picture of it exactly how it was sent.

Yeah, that sucks.

Who knows how it happens.

Ive sent packages out that have shown up covered in some type of oil and had 3 packages sit in Iowa for a week before they got moved along in the shipping process.

If I'm sending a package that I care about I send it UPS not USPS. Which means I do very little business with the postal service.
