I'm fustrated....

This whole thing is crazy.

you need to be that 2%
you now have pictures of the saw that they sold, so they can't dispute what it was. You have your sticker on it in the pictures showing that you have done your magic on it. Add the value of the saw and your standard fee= what $1200? go get em...never quit, I would get my congressman involved, he wants to get reelected and stamping out evil is good press for his office.....:hmm3grin2orange:

I would make collecting the money from the postal service my new hobby........

See that sounds great......but. When I get sucked into it my head is no longer in porting saws. As you probably realize, I do well over 200 saws a year. That's where I need to keep my mind.

This saw has cost me a small fortune in wasted time.

Very true. Very true. Even more so with port work waiting. Say maybe 30+ hours is a small fortune to us hacks with a grinder.

I gotta say I've learned a couple things in this thread:

Never send anything of value via USPS.

Record serial numbers on anything getting shipped. (I'm gonna go around and write down SNs of all my saws, runners and projects, even parts saws, just to have a list.)

Make a receipt if selling, ask for one if buying, with the above mentioned SN on it (if applicable).

Edit: Put a second address label in the package, preferably attached to the item.

If nothing else, this thread should make better shippers, buyers, and sellers out of us.

That's what we need to take from this whole thread.


My wife asked the other day why I double box and use so much tape on a saw. I pointed out the $700 insurance value on that box and why would I skimp on $2.00 worth of tape. I can not remove all of the exposure to issues, but why not limit it as much as possible.


As for Randy and Johnny.. I'm glad they've reached a gentleman's agreement and hope it works out how it should. If all of this keeps one saw from being lost by USPS from another member.. it's all worth it in my opinion.

Here's an on-topic post.

I take detailed pictures of all saws I ship, including any markings, plates, and identifiable features. I take pictures of the packing as well, and the saw in the packing.

I filed a claim for $75.00 once thru USPS for damage to a Mac 800. I sent the pictures of before and after -- they sent me a check.

Pictures are hard to argue with.

I also pack stuff like it's gonna be hit with a nuke, sometimes it helps, but most shippers still treat packages like a football.

Recording the serial number seems to be a big help, and getting a bill of sale on used saws is a big one.

On the bill of sale. I have never done that before but need to start.

That is where it belongs, but it doesn't hurt to have it somewhere else as well. :msp_thumbup:
