I post this only to let people know how the insurance works through the post office due to my poor luck and bad experience
i recently sold a meyer plow pump on ebay. Having thought it would sell for alot in the middle of the winter i lised it with no reserve, well it only sold for $350. I only sell and ship about 2 things a year on ebay so I dont know alot about it. I boxed it up, took it to the post office, asked for delivery confirmation and insured it for $350. when i did the womam told me the box wasnt really strong enough for it. I told her i would do whatever she asked of me. she told me to tape it up more which i did and she said it was fine. well the buyer never recieved it. the process of filling the insurance claim and refunding the buyer may sound easy but it was far from it. the woman at the post office never activated the delivery confirmation even though the sticker was on the box so they could not track it, even with the insurance number and the post office thought perhaps the man did recieve it. so they pin me against him thinking he was a liar and i stalled the refund which makes me look like the bad guy.
weeks later i recieved a letter that they found my box open and empty. they then denied my insurance claim stating it was not properly packaged. at this point im still arguing but i may not only loose the money and the item, but they wont even refund the $42 for shipping. I'll fit this one till the end. I paid money and my package was accepted as sufficiently packaged!
I just cant win. If any of you follow my posts, we had a contractor walk off with $6500 after gutting my bathroom and never returning, my new ford truck has been in the shop 40 times and I lost my lemon twice (yes i managed to have two hearings on the same truck), ive been reporting all this to consumer protection, the attorney generals office, you name it. they all promise to look into it and wont even return a call. if i dont keep on them nothing would ever happen. does anyone else have these problems
