reichstall Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 I have had many items lost and the postal service never does anything ,Once the carrier said he delivered to different route address and still they did nothing . good luck 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 I filed a claim for a stolen gun (insured at 5K). Original claim and 2 appeals were all denied, including the postage amount. The gun was eventually recovered (slightly damaged) and shipped fedex. At a point I was considering legal options, but from research, that seemed to involve the federal court system and attorneys didn't seem too interested in getting involved? Since there is no federal small claims system you'd have to go all in. There is a LOT to consider (risk/reward) when shipping various items. Some carriers bind you in arbitration as well, as a condition of services. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEW Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 I had 2 priority mail boxes lost/stolen from Florida to Wash. state for my grandsons it never left the twilight zone in Tampa called Ybor city. Took 6 months and multiple complaints to USPS but I was eventually made whole. The insurance is a scam for most things especially high value items unless you use "registered mail" which takes a long time but is managed by each person who handles it is responsible. Cost is the biggest downside but probably worth it considering a large claim. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cieneguita Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 Unlike others i have had two small claims paid out. One for $25 and another (to gunbroker seller) for $600. Took a bit of time, 4 plus weeks each. The GB product was a broken rifle stock which was returned to us after the claim. That said, I would only use registered mail for anything of value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipping of ammo by USPS is not permitted, so you probably should have let that one go without a fight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
