USPS is dicey...part of my job requires shipping many, many packages to radio stations. I can't tell you how many of the stations have received empty packages, that were clearly torn open, with a note inside that said something like 'content lost in transit" When I complained I was met with a shrug and me basically being told there's nothing they can do unless I want to take out insurance on every package I send (which is like 300 most weeks)

Anytime I send something now of extreme value...especially my knives I take out the insurance and delivery confirmation. It sucks that we have to pay extra to ensure that the USPS does the job we've paid them to do to begin with.
