Damaged During Shipping ?

[Jerry Forwood, K0EJF]

Sorry, but as someone who makes and receives shipments daily, I can tell
you that your only recourse is with the shipping people unless the sender
just wants to be generous.  It is technically or legally not his fault
for the rough treatment at the hands of the shipping company.  If it was
not packaged correctly, the shipping company should have refused to ship
it that way.  The shipping company, by accepting it agreed to deliver it
in the same condition they received it.
However you should have insisted that it be insured, therefore by saving
yourself a little money up front you cost yourself a lot in the end.
Maybe you should accept some of the blame and move on.  Or just try to
get somewhere with the shipping company,  you know, sue the Post Office,
Hi, Hi.  But Please, Don't put all the blame on the person who places the
package in the hands of the Boobs in our glorious US Post Office!
