Anyone had to fill out a USPS insurance claim?

How reliable are these? Can I show beckett BV as enough information? Thank you for helping

I'm not sure if this is the same with other post offices, but when I go to the teller, I just say $___ insured and they would fill it out for me. I don't think you need to show them proof that what's inside is worth that much, though.

i meant more that I have a piece that is lost in the mail that was insured for $195 - thanks though demonpower. Does anyone know the process for actually getting the money back?

[demonpower55]

The receipt and the insurance receipt would be enough to get your money back; they might also ask for 2 forms of ID as well.

Yeah, you just need the proof of insurance and u should have no problem

[jdbrak]

so there is no need to prove the value of what was lost, correct?

Had to do it once a few years ago. This was when insurance of $50 or more went on a different slip.

It was $130 total and it took me 8 months to the day to get my $$ from the USPS.

They will not accept Beckett. You need some different documentation. Luckily I had a copy of the check the buyer used to get my $$ back.

Good Luck

ours was a trade.... so there wouldnt be a receipt - i was told i just needed a receipt for the insured piece.

oof. GLWT.

I would think the BEST you can do is replacement cost.

A little confused. Did you send the item with insurance purchased at the post office?
