I haven't heard of it, and when the postal employees offer the insurance,
they certainly have never, in my hearing, told the customer of limitations.
One other sidelight on my UPS experience (which I do not know if the same

So do you have to have a receipt from a Pack and Ship and the number of

Let me add my name to the list of people who receive important mail intended
for others. I get in my car and deliver the mail that I get by mistake, if
possible, so that the recipients receive a second mail delivery in a day.
But do you know, I have never gotten a second mail delivery in a
I know from experience of mailing entries for the IOLI competitions that the US
Post Office will not reimburse for anything that does not have a receipt, even
works of art. I wonder if we could overcome that by selling it to our spouse

Postal misdeliveries seem to be a fact of modern life; like Devon, I seem to do
more delivering to others than receiving from others, but I've never had an
important document (a bill, for example) go astray. I have, however, had items
won on eBay get lost and unlike others on this list I've had

Personally, I have always been reluctant to place any of my lace in a

At work before now, I've had some electronic components that would fit in

sure it couldn't get lost in the courier's van. Perhaps the same thing

Two more items that no one has mentioned--
First, did you know that if you insure an item with USPS for $50.00 or less,
