How was it packaged?
If it was sent priority mail it should have insurance. I usually end up sending priority mail, most of the time there's no difference in cost. I usually send them in a almost indestructible container.

Even if it had insurance, good luck on getting reimbursed for it.  You have to provide a receipt showing how much you purchased the item for.

Guess I never had to try to collect Clint. I was always told my package was insured for $100 if I remember right. It may have been $50 now not sure. If I wanted to insure it for more it cost more. I was told you just got what it was insured for.

The postmaster at our local PO told me not to bother adding extra insurance if it was something I made or supplies.  If I can't prove what it cost they won't reimburse me if it's lost or damaged.

Interesting Clint, I'll have to ask mine again. When I use to ship my raw furs UPS years ago, I asked them. I told them I wouldn't know what they were worth till I sold them and if they were ruined in shipping they wouldn't be worth anything. They told me they were worth whatever I insured them for. Things may have changed and like I said I never did have to try collecting a claim.

Sorry about your arrow Eddie.

I was testing one of the arrows I'm sending off, missed the target and the stone point hit a cast iron sink. The point just snapped in half but didn't come loose from the pitch glue with sinew wrap.
Oh well, time to mount another point.   :OK   )P(

That's when you know your pitch glue is just right Pat.

It was in a homemade triangle box with a gazillion plastic grocery bags. It was broke right where it said,"don't bend" :).

Postal Service insurance is worthless for what we make. It took Chris Cade almost a year to get reimbursed for a hand built Flintlock that showed up with a broken stock and fork lift tracks across it.

  Mullet, That makes me feel sick. I tried to make sure it was well padded and labeled. I'm sorry, It looks like it was mishandled on purpose. Broken in 2 places ! Is the point ruined also ?
My wife mailed it out for me, I'll ask her if it was insured.

.... and I am kinda amazed that there is a cast iron sink in "just missed the target" range to your target backstop. 

Impressive glue.  Please move the sink.  Russ.
