Nothing like this EVER! The HOLY GRAIL in NOS

[VintageMusclecar]

Frederick;

I use USPS exclusively, and they have yet to cause me any serious grief, which is in stark contrast to FedEx, UPS, and DHL. All 3 of the latter carriers have damaged numerous items in transit on me, and USPS has only damaged one item, and that was minor.

OTOH, I did get scammed for a substantial amount on a USPS money order by a lowlife scumbag in AZ...I turned him in for mail fraud, did all the USPS paperwork (and there was a bunch of paperwork to do!), jumped through all their hoops, and today, almost 2 years later, nada. On that note, the "guarantee" that's printed on the back of a USPS MO "guaranteeing" reimbursement in the event the MO is lost or stolen is worth about as much as the ink it took to print it.

Sad thing is, there is no way I've found yet to 100% "idiot-proof" or "scumbag-proof" any sort of transaction or transport situation like this. You just have to take all the precautions you can, cross your fingers and take your chances.
