Do you know that if you purchase "First Class" postage to send a parcel by the Postal Service, that you will

Question

not be refunded this amount in the event that the Postal Service loses it because sending it only by "First Class" with no Insurance - is not a "Guaranteed Service"?

- And that this is a "Federal Regulation"!

Just how immoral is this?

Answer 1

Yes , I have the misfortune of knowing this is true . You would think that with on-going rate increases we as citizen-consumers would be receiving a better postal service rather than institutionalized mediocrity .

Answer 2

Without tracking or a signature, how can you prove it either way?

It would mean that anyone willing to fill out a form could make money defrauding the postal service.

I might want a muffin and a cup of coffee, but have no money.  I could go to the post office, give them a receipt from a package that I had mailed weeks ago, and get my money back.  USPS would have no way to know as they do not track regular first class mail.

In short, that'd be a big can of worms.
