KUDOS TO THE USPS!

Yet another of the countless USPS posts. Sent a SFRB from Ames to Louisiana on 05/22. It arrived at Memphis on 05/23. On 05/27 it went into the arriving late black hole where it remains. It's the only poor service episode that I've had in the last few years. Value was about $95 so no reason to purchase insurance above the $50 that comes with a SRFB.

On July 1st I filed a claim for the $50 that comes with the SFRB service. I had no proof of purchase so I just uploaded a pic of what was in the box since the claim form wouldn't finish unless I uploaded some sort of file.

Today a check arrived for $57.90 which is the $50 insurance and they refunded the postage too.

Works for me.

    I lost my acronym reference manual. Glad you got something back. I got a rebate card for $70 for buying a new set of tires for the wife's car. As soon as I opened it and showed her, it went in her purse. There went lunch and a round of golf.

    Don't send anything by USPS that might go thru Memphis if you can help it. Recipient said it was a trouble spot.

    Mine involved 2 of the 3. I did refund the guy's PPFF so I don't know if it raised any eyebrows at PayPal.

    I had a small USPS experience yesterday.
    A sent Christmas card, in 2020, was returned as undeliverable.

    Good to know… Have coins you’re buried in and the price guide is high? Insure them and ship them through Memphis. :)
