Agreed. May take a few weeks though.

Has anyone here ever had to collect on a lost Registered Mail package? If fo, do they automatically pay you the amount that it was insured for or do you additionally have to prove what the value of the item was?

Never had a registered mail package lost so no claims filed but I would guess you still have to provide proof of the value of the package to collect. Always keep a picture of the item and proof of value just in case but the chances of them losing a registered package is very low.

Default Registered

Always insist on talking to the Postmaster. Not the clerks, not the supervisor. Talk to the Postmaster in person.

Well, I guess cooler heads prevail... the package is moving, so hopefully will get to SGC and get logged without a problem. Good thing that I did not take my irrational frustration out on the good people at USPS.

one thing I learned is that different POs operate on completely different timelines. I had sent my last few registered mailings out from a small PO in the burbs, so I was used to fast movement and consistent updates. Maybe it is a different story in cities

Priority Mail seems like it's moving slower than first class for me lately.

Registered Mail is the safest way of shipping via USPS, as each employee has to sign for the package whenever it changes hands. Not only can they track its movements, but they know each employee who has handled it. Also, Registered packages are always held under lock and key.

I once had a very valuable Registered shipment never show up. I had to make three different calls to finally reach an employee who wasn't too lazy to do their job and the package was located within the hour. For no reason whatsoever, it had been sitting undelivered in a locked cage in Chicago for three weeks. Meanwhile, the recipient was freaking out and some of that was wearing off on me. I hate the USPS.
