    Well, USPS did it again..........

    I didn't know where else to put this so here it is.

    I shipped my recently sold Orracle E cocker out on october 10th, the recipiant still hasent recieved it. I shipped priority mail which should be 3-5 days not 12. Does anyone have any advice on how to go about this. Im going to have to give the guy his 130$ back. But id like to find out if i can get either the gun back or somthin. There is a return adress on it but i didnt do delivery conf, or insuance.

    any help will be greatly apreciated.

    im sorry to say this, but without delivery conf. or insurance, there isnt really anything you can do but wait,

    I also purchase delivery confirmation for any shipment worth over $20, .65 is a price i'd be willing to pay to ensure that the product arrives.

      You may be S.O.L. man. ALWAYS get deilvery confirmation, well worth the $0.45 or whatever it costs. I'd go into a USPS branch and see what they suggest.

                  FWIW, next time buy your USPS Priority label online, the cost is the same and delivery Confirmation is free if you do it that way.

                      There is a first for everything. At least now you know, and it only might cost $130. Lets hope that it just shows up later. Either way, you wont be able to use this reason again not to get DC or insurance.

                      I learned the hard way myself. Sent a package, it showed up late, and damaged inside a baggy that said "We are really sorry, blah blah blah". I spoke to the carrier, the desk clerk at the office, even the Manager. They all told me the same thing...without insurance you are SOL.

                      The only way I dont send it with DC or Insurance is if I intend to cover the item out of my own pocket if it gets lost/stolen/damaged. Or, if the customer is absolutely insistent on not paying for DC/Insurance. If they dont want to pay for DC/Insurance, I only take Money Order. That way there is no recourse for their decision. Had they paint by PayPal, they could file a claim with PayPal even though they denied the DC/Insurance.

                      It sucks you had to learn this one the hard way.

                        UPS gives you the first $100.00 in insurance automatically.

                        Don't send anything without insurance that you arn't willing to cover with your own cash.

                          I would suggest going with UPS or FedEx when possible. Though I find personally FedEx is a bit more reliable. Same was will UPS the first $100 coverage is free and ground generally doesn't take any longer than 5 days from east to west coast.
                          If it can't be sent with a single stamp from my mailbox..... I don't trust the USPS to get anything anywhere safely or on time.
                          Sorry to hear about your trouble..... Hope you can get it resolved. The best thing you can do is start by contacting the postmaster at the location you shipped it from and hope things go well from there.

                            I would have to agree. USPS never failed me.

                            but I always use confirmation.
