I've told this story before, but it's worth repeating.

I shipped two wheel weights from here in MD to and address in Lebanon PA. via Priority Flat Rate large. I could have driven to the buyer in 1.5 hours. Anyway they ended up going to Honolulu on their way. The weights never made it, but the boxes did. USPS said that the delivery was made. They would not pay my claim. 

 

I don't for the life of me understand how they can deny things like that. 

The *@^#^$&# box is empty. 

 

Makes me REALLY HAPPY that I have several good small town post office branches that'll bat FOR THE CONSUMER.

 Thanks, It just seems robbery to sell at less than $10 and add $10 shipping, 

 

I agree in principle but IMHO you have to look at that as two separate transactions. 

 

I live in the country. 

I order online. 

 

I do NOT expect anything to get here without compensation to the carrying party whether it's a standard carrier or some dude in a '78 Subaru Brat delivering food. 

 

The part is the part. 

 

The delivery is a service. 

 

I'm a trucker.  I'm paid to deliver items. 

I'm also a Crane Operator. I'm paid to offer a service. 

 

I've stopped charging most Redsquare SUPPORTERS for parts unless I have a specific dollar amount needed to replace the part(s) I'm sending out. 

 

If it's a light small part, it's light small freight charges. Etc.....

Their response was 'the label made it'. That was their proof of delivery.
