My apologies, but I’d love to see some actual evidence for that last claim. Besides, since when is providing a service without issuing an invoice considered illegal? Regardless of who is asking or who isn't... btw http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gi...3711376&ref=ts come join us 😁
Look, if I refuse to pay and try to open the package, do you really think they’ll just walk away? Not without a signature first, obviously. My whole point was that I wanted to order something similar, but specifically using cash on delivery so I can actually inspect the goods before handing over the money. If it isn't right, it goes straight back to the sender. Besides, FedEx will just charge the shipper for the return shipping anyway—I've already confirmed how that works.
Sure, sounds great. Honestly, I’ve dealt with this twice now—once when they hit me with a $14.40+ shipping surcharge $1.75, and again a few months back when the mail carrier charged me for both the current delivery and a failed attempt $3.25, even though there should have only been one charge. Catch you all tomorrow. 🙂
No, I just want an excuse to yell at my old man every single time something like this happens. There are basically two culprits here: the local guy and the one from Branimirov who handles the deliveries. So, what—he was supposed to charge 50%? And what about the shipping fee?
I once made a scene and actually managed to get a refund from $1.75 😁, along with a written apology for the "robbery." But that was because I sent the complaint from my official business email; I have a feeling they don't take physical customers quite as seriously...
I call them "the package disasters" because I’ve dealt with nothing but headaches from them at this address. Before I moved here, I had an amazing mail carrier—if you'd actually read the thread, you’d understand why I have absolutely zero respect for HP. I sent out a package and paid $14.40, only for it to sit there unclaimed because the recipient never received a single notification. You want to know the excuse I got at the post office? Apparently, her regular carrier is on vacation, and the substitute is completely incompetent. And I believe her, too, because even at my old place, my reliable carrier is being replaced by someone who can't manage to deliver a single thing—not even a scrap of paper. My carrier always marks bills as "delivered" right to me, so I have no idea what you're talking about regarding them being logged at the station. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware of this process, so I tossed the bills. Once again, I've been robbed blind. Fantastic.
William Jones30 said:If the shipping was prepaid, the sender covers 50% of the cost to have an undelivered package returned. If anyone wonders why that’s the case or thinks it sounds stupid, maybe they should actually use their brain for once.
Fine, why don't you do the thinking then and explain to me why I was charged 100% for my return, $4.75 plus $1.75 the delivery fee? Does ANYONE actually audit the invoices these carriers are throwing around?
To top it all off, I had a little "lesson" the other day. The woman sending me the package mistyped the address—just a few digits off. Instead of being a decent human being, the mail carrier decided he'd gone through all this trouble to find the right house and deserved some extra compensation. I told him, what compensation? A tip? Isn't a professional supposed to know their route and the local residents well enough to fix a minor typo without making a scene? But no, he had to squeeze out a little extra... And in the end, $1.75, I just said, fine, let me see the receipt. And then... the receipt... Honestly, my blood pressure spiked the second I saw it the next morning. 😁
Just another absolute joke. My package got sent back to me, and I actually had to pay $5.00 just because they couldn't get it delivered correctly? Seriously, where is this even happening? And then I have to shell out $1.75 for shipping on the very same package. Only in America! Our postal service is just fantastic—just like the rest of this country!
If you just fill out that paperwork and hand it over, she won't have any grounds to argue. If she tries to claim otherwise, why not ask her to actually explain herself? 👍
Well, you’ll probably find just as much information online as you did on that one specific post. The bottom line is this: grab a slip for the package, circle the right option, and write down the value. Simple enough, right?
Just head down to the local USPS branch with them and set up a power of attorney. It’ll cost you a few $5.00, but then they can pick up your packages for you using that paperwork. You can set the duration for the authorization however you see fit.
Oh, please. I think I have the copy-paste from the forum page right here.
2.1. The Unlabeled Package
In the event of a lost package, you can claim the actual value of what was lost, but more importantly, you can claim up to: Forty DTS units? Seriously?$121Plus $4.50 per package. Simple enough, right?$14It’s basically the weight of the package times the rate, plus whatever the shipping costs end up being. Simple enough, right? If your package ends up damaged or lost, what’s the payout? It’s capped at $40 per shipment, plus $4.50 per pound, along with a refund on your shipping costs. Simple enough, right?
2.2. Marked Value Packages
If a package goes missing, you’re looking at a payout capped at the declared value plus whatever you paid for shipping. But don't get your hopes up regarding a refund on the insurance premium itself—that's gone. Is it fair? Probably not. But that's the deal. If the contents of your package arrive damaged or go missing, the compensation is capped at the declared value plus whatever you paid for shipping. You won't get a refund on the shipping premium paid for high-value coverage, either. Is that clear enough? If the recipient or the sender requests a settlement amount that falls below the maximum allowable limit, the requested amount will be paid out. Simple as that. Why complicate things?
