USPS Insurance claim

[T Sunstone]

Never has made sense to me, you pay someone to shipped something at a price then have to insure it.  Almost like blackmail.

I bought $600.00 insurance from the Post office, when I gave them the receipt, they told me the bow was 3 years old so it depreciated in value. I got a check for $395.00. It still makes me mad!

guys, registered mail, it goes by hand the whole way

I switched from UPS to USPS due to UPS informing me that if "they" didn't package the product and it was damaged that UPS would not be responsible and would not cover the insurance claim. Having them package it plus the shipping would have cost me 79.95. I inquired how they would package the product (3 piece takdown recurve) and was told with bubble wrap and filler in void space. I went ahead and went home packed it and been shipping USPS in boxes with no problems to date.
