Glad to hear you got some of it back.

DCJ, How were you able to file for the $600 insurance that he purchased? I thought that was impossible and only the person purchasing the insurance and actually mailing the package could actually file a claim and receive the check.

Read post #1 closely. D.C. purchased insurance for the knives he (D.C.) shipped:

[...]So me wanting to satisfy both parties went ahead and shipped both knives insured for $700 (which cost me $22 out of pocket)[...]

I did read it closely and DCJ purchased insurance for the knives he shipped that made it OK to snowreaper. He wasn't filing a claim on the insurance that he himself purchased.

In post #13 DCJ stated that he was filing a claim for the $600 insurance purchased by snowreaper for the item DCJ didn't receive. DCJ explained to me via email that either party could file a claim with USPS which was new to me. I was always under the impression that only the shipper could file a claim for an item not received by the intended recipient but apparently not since he was able to recover a good chunk of his loss with him as the recipient filing the claim. That is good to know.

The current claim form seems to contemplate that the addressee may file a claim: http://about.usps.com/forms/ps1000.pdf

If you are the addressee . . .

However, the form says you need

Your original mailing receipt for Insured, COD, Registered Mail, Priority Mail® International, or Express Mail® service. . . . .

Sorry, alex. It is I that need to read more closely

I learned something new... re: either party could file a claim.
