    That's why I put insurance on it when I mailed. Not implying that anyone else needs to do that of course, but it just gave me the heebee jeebees.

    You do insurance??? You will do that - until the day you try to file a claim on missing cigars...

    I guess you're saying that that doesn't work...I wonder why? I don't usually do insurance on shipping stuff, but like bear was saying, some of the stuff in there is just irreplaceable. I was more preparing for the scenario that the box & contents were damaged.

    George, if you're telling me no matter what I'd be SOL with insurance on cigars, I won't bother anymore.

    USPS will not pay claims on missing/damaged cigars. I've even seen a very badly damaged humidor claim denied. From what I've seen - it is not worth putting insurance on the package - save the money and spend it on cigars!

    I got the package in today, and they all looked fine.
    I have to say that on Friday my wife lost her ATM card, and now we have about $5.00 left in the account. I am going to have to spend some time on the phone to dispute these charges.

    How about I just send the cigars out to the next person in line so I don't hold anyone up.

    Sorry guys.

    Sounds like a PITA.

    I'm not speaking for everyone in the pass, but how long do you think it would take before you could do your put / takes? I mean, I don't think there's a requirement to turn it around in one day.

    I thought about that...after the fact. Having not filed a claim through the USPS, I wasn't sure if I'd have to produce the damaged contents. I figure shame on me for not thinking about the prohibited contents but I s'pose it's a donation to the beleaguered postal service As long as the box doesn't come back again I'm fine with it!
