<p>[QUOTE="saltysam-1, post: 1055638, member: 23368"]I had but one claim with USPS and it was turned down. The reason: Not a secure enough envelope. It was a returned coin to the seller. He saw that the corner of the envelope was torn open and asked the mail carrier to note that the contents were missing. Even though I had the envelope sealed all the way around with tape, I was told this wasn't good enough. I asked why the post office accepted it that way and was told they shouldn't. So, even with the insurance I lost $150 on the cost of the coin plus the cost of the insurance it's self. They claim, (remember it's a third party that insures the contents, not the government), I was to have used a mailer style envelope which is self adhering. I wish the postal clerk would have told me this to begin with, but perhaps he didn't know either. (New person?) I understood where they were coming from and did not pursue it further. I thought if they accepted the package as sent, it was shipped correctly and their responsibility... Nope![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
