Re: USPS damage in shipping
When dealing with anyone other than UPS for shipping all I have to say is:

A friend of mine owns an auto glass shop. Fully 50%, yes HALF of all new windshields delivered to him by UPs were broken. Mind you, new glass is packed very well and VERY WELL labeled as to the content. The last straw was a windshield delivered with footprints on the box. That was the last package from UPS he had accepted.

Re: USPS damage in shipping
If you do an internet search for "video of deliveries gone bad " you should
be able find various other links like the one I listed below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lM3SRG7D21Y Here is another link I'm listing below about the Postal Service. There are quite a few Postal videos, so just keep watching and one after another keep coming on this one link... interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UATuP1NoZ_w . .

A very good friend of mine owns a USA based global shipping company. He will ONLY use UPS. He has by far had the lowest damaged or lost package claims with them. Don't even talk to him about the USPS. They were the absolute worst, followed closely by Fed Ex. At least your friends packages showed up. With the USPS and Fed Ex they just disappear!

Jeff, I truly believe the burden is on the shipper. We all have good and bad stories to share about the transport companies. Just remember anything can be shipped safely. It (mostly) comes down to packaging and to much lesser degree, the transport.

Re: USPS damage in shipping
Tell the shipper to box it super-duper good, and then be
sure that they put a red FRAGILE sticker on it. I'm sure if it's got the red Fragile sticker, the drivers are taught that they should just toss it "left handed" .

Re: USPS damage in shipping
Kube gets it, it is mostly about how things are packaged. If it rattles in the carton it’s not good enough. Something heavy would need plywood, at the very least, inside a carton so it can’t burst out of the box. Like anything else, the quality of the result is an effect of the effort expended.

That may be a sign for the guy loading the truck to drop-kick the thing into the truck I spoke to the Auction house Wednesday as I saw there were 'updates' on several items I was interested in. The descriptions had been changed on two items and two were completely gone from the listing and had been removed. I asked them what was up with that. The auction house owner told me that Tuesday night as they were setting up, a table was knocked over and the items that had new descriptions and the items that had been removed had been broken and or damaged. That's not a good sign, they haven't even reached the sale date yet |

If it didn't have insurance added you'll be SOL.
