    Im pretty sure that even without insurance if the package was received torn open The post office is at fault.

    Good luck with whatever happens.

              Them: No, the machines did that. We are not responsible, this happens sometimes

              Me: But this is the fourth time it's happened to me. I'm here with my friend who has had the same thing happen to him. And these people waiting in this room next to me had the same thing happen to me. AND A PERSONS HAND OPENED THIS, NOT A STINKING MACHINE!

              Them: Fill out a form

              Me: WHAT GOOD WILL THAT DO?! THERE'S A THIEF IN YOUR BACKROOM AND THIS AINT FUNNY!

              Them: There are no thieves in our backroom. A machine opened it. We can look around the mailroom to see if it is on the floor.

              Me: Ok, So I live somewhere for 18 years, this never happens, and I move here, and in 2 years this happens to me 4 times, to my roommate even more times, to my friend here, and to these people, AND YOU'RE TELLING ME IT'S A FREAKING MACHINE DOING THIS?! YOU HAVE A THIEF!!

              Them: There are no thieves. Lower your voice.

              Me: WHAT YOU WON'T EVEN HUMOR ME?! YOU WON'T EVEN LIE TO MY FACE AND SAY YOU'll LOOK INTO MY ALLEGATIONS? YOU'RE JUST GOING TO DENY IT STRAIGHT UP WITH NO EVIDENCE TO BACK YOU UP, WITH NO REASON FOR DENYING IT?

              THEM: Lower your voice

              ME: I'M NOT GOING TO LOWER MY VOICE, BECAUSE YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY IN WITH THE THIEF, YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T GIVE A , AND THE ONLY THING I CAN DO NOW IS CAUSE YOUR WORTHLESS TO GET STRESSED OUT, SO THAT MAYBE, AFTER ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE SHOUTED AT YOU, YOU'LL EITHER DECIDE IT'S EASIER TO STOP YOUR EMPLOYEES FROM STEALING AND DO YOUR DAMN JOB, OR YOU'LL SHOOT YOURSELF IN THE HEAD. EITHER WOULD BE FINE WITH ME

              Them: We're calling the police

              ME: GO AHEAD! I KNOW HOW LONG IT TAKES FOR THEM TO GET HERE, AND IN THE MEANTIME I'LL SCREAM AT YOU, SCREAM AT THE CUSTOMERS OUTSIDE, AND THEN MERRILY BE ON MY WAY BEFORE THOSE DONUT EATING WORTHLESS SLOBS EVER GET HERE. AHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHH AHHHHH


              The moral of the story is, go fill out that form and have fun!

                could actually not be the post office's fault, there may be a thief around where u shipped it. Not too uncommon. Chances are it's someone nearby.

                    I will say it again. Always ship insured unless you plan on paying for whatever they will lose.

                    I shipped a barrel to someone out of the US. The package made it as far as the local hub where they decided it might be a firearm part and needed to inspect it further. They opened the end of the tube. I got the tube back without the barrel or the end cap. It was insured for $100.00 and so I ended up with a real nice Stiffi barrel as a replacement.

                    Sorry to hear about your valve. I have a few classic valves sitting around. PM me and maby we can do some trading.

                      Click it, fill it. Good luck. If you need to do any followup, the USPS Office of Inspector General is the agency that investigates theft of mail by employees. But you have to report it on the US Postal Inspection Service website, in the link I just posted.

                        Funny story about postal inspectors.....

                        My buddy and I (16) are going out hanging around.... he says he needs to run by his dads work.... I say ok, what does your dad do?... he says he's a postal inspector..... ok cool. We get there, hey pops...... me quietly.... hey dude, why is your dad wearing a gun? He's a postal inspector.... yeah, you told me but why does he need a gun?

                        Yeah, I know but come on I was 16, how the heck do I know what a postal inspector is? He did show us a kilo of coke that they picked up, that was cool.

                          Forget the Postal Inspectors. I am out 650 bucks because they wouldn't prosecute the biotch as the fraud wasn't over 10000 dollars. Dont even waste your time. Been there done that...

                              I have had good luck with the 2 times I've had to use Postal Inspectors. YMMV.
