[78-L] Filing USPS insurance claim-Good news-Bad news

[David Lennick]

I'm not familiar with those conditions, but that's not what I was told by the 
Post Office in any case. They said that it was because my home address was 
outside the US although the goods were shipped to an American post office where 
I rent a box. The transaction occurred within the US, not internationally. And 
it seems to me that once I've paid for and received the goods, they're mine, 
not the seller's. If I've paid for insurance, how is the seller a partner? In 
any case, I don't want to start a debate and I did receive the payment.
