Another USPS rant

toolmanmike said

I sent a cam and lifters in a game box. stuffed in sideways, the lifters new in their own box and packed with newspaper. The box was broken open and the box of lifters missing. The *** wipes would have to damage the box like they did on purpose. I'm betting nothing will happen with the insurance claim. Next time I will take photos of the packing procedure!

Just my 2 cents...

If the item has any kind of weight to it, NEVER use newspaper as fill material. It smashes even more than you can physically do with your hands, then allowing the items to slam around inside the box. BTDT, learned my lesson. I use old boxes as fill in for large areas., Works well. Tape things together as well so you don't have multiple items loose and moving within the box.

USPS has paid on damaged items for me. They WILL NOT refund shipping cost as FE does.
