Letter: Loss of mailed gift leaves Christmas lesson
On Monday, Dec. 22, the U.S. Postal Service delivered a Christmas package from my sister via airmail. I signed for the delivery and excitedly opened the package immediately to find - nothing! The package had been pilfered. There was no insurance on the package, and the post office in Laurel probably correctly denied liability.
So, now my sister is out $70.80 air postage plus the cost of the gift and me with an empty box and a moral for Christmas. Never sign for and accept delivery of any package, even from a trusted carrier, without first thoroughly examining the package and its contents.
And alls I can think is...wow... If they had bought the insurance they wouldn't be complaining.
