Thanks for the response! Your question is referring to USPS workers or UPS employees? My last paragraph/statement about The UPS Store losing my package is about how they failed to document anything before handing the pacakge over to the US Postal Service. The problem here is that The UPS Store was the middle man who conducted all the transactions and handling with my friend, but they are relunctant to accept responsibility because they handed the package over to the US Postal Service on base. Everything would be fine if The UPS Store kept records or documentation of the package and insurance. Like I hinted at in my original post: It is way too convenient for The UPS Store to not document any information and then wash their hands of any liability. They can't even prove my package left their store.

One Question ... Don't they have a post office on base? Thanks for the warning. Won't ship anything your way. Also a word of advice. Simple insured postage can cost 400% MORE than REGISTERED WITH POSTAL INSURANCE. LESS COVERAGE AT UP TO 400% MORE. The reason why: If a postal worker "looses" a REGISTERED package he/she can be automatically terminated. No such penalty with simple insured package. Hence 4 times as many insured packages turn up "missing". As for a time frame, I'm still fighting with the post office over a package, one of their employee sliced open, stole the item out of and resealed it and then delivered it, from the end of November, 2004. Good luck and God bless our troops and those navy guys too.
