You don't want to know trust me
Too soon I guess ...You don't want to know trust me
in my opinion a superpac is NOTHING...compared to the Tamipac for sure!
No it will never be long enough to get over that.
It came, but it came in pieces because USPS dropped a v8 on it by the looks of what I faced opening the package. To add insult to injury they had it in a plastic bag notifying me of damage and asking me to understand that "these things happen".
Quite heartbreaking opening that package
Did they at least pay for it?
Not yet and it's not even looking too good. I realized that insurance isn't much of a sure thing. I think they should rename it to "insecurance"
Keep pushing! I've gotten them to pay for stuff they broke!
Peter is on it and was extremely supportive and helpful in pursuing the claim. He's now submitted everything and we await their final verdict.
Are you still in Sydney Steve? It is 3am again... [says me, in same time zone]
Oooooh!OH CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN!

Steve, sorry to hear of the demise of your mod 
The replacement is beautiful though 
Hopefully takes away a little of the sting

Steve's situation is painfully ironic in it's unlikelihood. Most international orders don't even have the option of insurance on shipping ("priority international" doesn't offer it). We used a US service and so the first leg could be insured. Same time, international payment options are extremely limited, and the method required just a dash of subtlety.
So, I've been putting in a lot of legwork over here for Steve (gladly, eagerly), and hitting a lot of brick walls. The process still isn't over; but we're into appeals here and presentations and inspections of damaged items and yada.
So, basically, the only package that USPS has ever lost/damaged for us in well over 500 of them, is one that normally couldn't even have been insured, and doesn't have the exact pedigree/papertrail that their ridiculously stringent rules ("outs") require. We've submitted all kinds of evidence of the transaction, the value, the history .. . and we may be denied because we don't have a "receipt", like you'd get from buying something at Walmart.
Long short, if you want to pay USPS for "insurance", you'd best make sure the item your shipping has a clear documentation of purchase behind it, and then you can get over the first hurdle in attempting to file a claim. (there are other hurdles, I'm sure of it . . . like rules about "proper and sufficient packaging". A long list of "outs" for claim denials.) Mailing anything that you didn't buy/sell w/ a receipt .. . grandma's wedding ring, yada .. . don't bother insuring it. (i.e. volumes of evidence per "value", comparables, published price are moot .. . must be a purchased item w/ receipt.)
My personal approach, in general, is not to pay for added/purchased insurance. Over time, in aggregate, the savings will pay for the one item I may lose. But it's not my place to recommend on this front; just to implement the customer's wishes.
we're not giving up without a fight.
. . . been doing that.
