Thread: I mailed razors, they didn't arrive, now what?

Zib - I was recently told that insurance is basically useless unless you combine it with delivery confirmation....something about not being able to prove that it DIDN'T arrive. Any truth to this?

Not true. You do not need to get Delv Conf..The insurance forms at the Post Office have tracking numbers on them. The Post Office can track them internally and see what's up, you (the customer) cannot from the website, IIRC, The receipient has to sign for insured mail...?

However: I would get Delv.Conf. anyway, at least you can check on it...

Also, Delivery Confirmation can just be dropped at your mailbox, or at your door. No one has to sign for it..

Signature confirmation does require just that, A signature..That service is good if your sending something to a company, where lot's of people work, and you want to know who signed for it...I had a problem with Dish network. They claimed they never got their gear back, and charged my CC 500.00. I had signature confirmation, Told them who signed, and go my money back....

Many years ago I sent a package to a guy that didn't want to pay for tracking or anything extra... It happened to be an over seas shipment. I was sorry he didn't receive it. I think I offered insurance and expedited shipping so I wasn't going to send a replacement or refund.

He wrote me much later to let me know he received the package. It took like 12 weeks. It was on a slow boat or something.

After that I was continental US only! I guess it's not quite as bad anymore.

If you get payed for a service its your full responsebility to deliver to the customer unless he opts out.
You can not keep the customert responsible for shipping unless
'1: he was fully informed
2:hes a proffessional

It may not match the moral responsebility but it is the legal one...

WOO HOOOOO THEY FINALLY ARRIVED!! I have been talking about it with my mail lady for a while and she checked in spent some time digging the other day and brought it to me this morning!! Ron, they look amazing!! I can't wait to shave with them!

That's awesome!!!!!!
I learned a valuable lesson AND I'm off the hook for five razors!


Given they were sent by priority mail, I figured they were long gone.

Oh, and George, I hope you like the razors. You probably noticed that they are a little shinier (under the oil) than they were when you sent them, and they should shave a lot better now!

Happy to hear it worked out right in the end for both of you!!!

" All's well that ends well." JimmyHAD ...... or maybe it was William Shakespeare ? Congrats guys, glad it had a happy ending and a lesson learned for many of us who followed the thread.

That good news. The USPS has only lost 1 piece of mail for me. Even that they brought the remains back to me. Looks like it fell out of the truck into a puddle and run over by multiple cars.
