USPS Strikes Again!
Recently bought a compressor so I sold two 4500 psi tanks. The last tank arrived damaged. Tank was boxed with bubble wrap and paper to keep it tight. The valve, gauge, hose and fittings were wrapped in heavy duty bubble wrap then taped. This is the third package damaged in the last 5 months.
Where can I buy a replacement gauge at a fair price? The shop out west wants $50 plus shipping.

Yeah, I ship live plants w/ USPS. Usually don’t have an issue. sounds like you’ve got a bad employee somewhere in the system.
With insurance, you still need to follow their claim rules exactly-take it to a nearby PO, get a receipt for the damaged package, give them proof of the value, etc. etc. I lost a $1,600.00 claim because the customer didn’t get a receipt from the PO and the clerk was an idiot-didn’t offer one. Then, they claimed (at the PO), they lost the paperwork. :angrymob:
Perfect.. The only way I ship USPS is with insurance. Hard to believe I have to pay extra to make sure something arrives safely.
I would not have been in business long if I said to customers “for additional 10 percent your house will be in good shape when you are ready to move in.” If you do not pay the extra 10% I am not responsible for any damages. :angrymob:
United States Package Smashers!! :4:
OMG. I don’t think I have seen something that damaged before in shipping that is so robust to begin with. Reminds me of the broken stocks.
I would look on ebay. Damn that looked like they ran it over with a forklift

I agree. The more I read how others have never had a problem shipping packages USPS the more it makes me think there is one jerk-off handling my packages. Next package that gets damaged I will be making a formal complaint.
