Mail forwarding, no mercy

[aurfalien]

Hi,

Long story short, I bought something off eBay which was shipped to my address in California that burned down.

I had enabled forwarding of all my mail and now am being asked to pay $10 for the forwarding of a particular package.

Calling the United States Postal service got no where of course.

It's not like I asked to have my place and all my stuff burned so it's a bit of insult to injury.

USPS should cut you some slack on this. I hope it works out for you.

Typical Government operation.

Sorry for what you went through there, Brian. I'd be pretty ticked at the USPS in your position. Surely something can be done. As you say, it's not your fault by any stretch of imagination.

Hello and thank you Bill, Douglas, Lee.

I sent an email to them as local post offices may not be aware of all policies that cover disasters, especially ones declared as such by our government.

It's funny, Frontier which I used for internet also billed me for 2 months being Nov and Dec even though I called them before hand to end services in Nov 10 due to the fire.

They basically said to contact my insurance company to get reimbursed.  So I called my credit card company to contest the charges which they credited me.  So frontier can deal with them.

The really funny thing is this email after they told me to take a hike;
