Sent a package to customer in Santa Maria, Ca by USPS Insured Priority. Apparently the Post office delivery lady left the package at the front door in plain sight of the street.
When customer gets home the package is gone. She talked to the Postmistress and the carrier and they said too bad, it was probably stolen. The customer asked why the carrier didn't leave the package at the side of the porch where it couldn't been seen from the street.
Bottom line, we were saving about $1 per package by using USPS over UPS. But this loss wipes out our savings for the whole month. We will no longer be using USPS and will go back to UPS and FED EX for all our packages except those going into PO Boxes.
All that money we gave USPS for "Insurance" was really a waste. The United States Post Office is a real Rip Off!
