How was it packaged?

If it was sent priority mail it should have insurance. I usually end up sending priority mail, most of the time there's no difference in cost. I usually send them in a almost indestructible container.

Even if it had insurance, good luck on getting reimbursed for it.  You have to provide a receipt showing how much you purchased the item for.

Guess I never had to try to collect Clint. I was always told my package was insured for $100 if I remember right. It may have been $50 now not sure. If I wanted to insure it for more it cost more. I was told you just got what it was insured for.

The postmaster at our local PO told me not to bother adding extra insurance if it was something I made or supplies.  If I can't prove what it cost they won't reimburse me if it's lost or damaged.

Interesting Clint, I'll have to ask mine again. When I use to ship my raw furs UPS years ago, I asked them. I told them I wouldn't know what they were worth till I sold them and if they were ruined in shipping they wouldn't be worth anything. They told me they were worth whatever I insured them for. Things may have changed and like I said I never did have to try collecting a claim.

Sorry about your arrow Eddie.

I was testing one of the arrows I'm sending off, missed the target and the stone point hit a cast iron sink. The point just snapped in half but didn't come loose from the pitch glue with sinew wrap.
Oh well, time to mount another point.

Nice hafting job Pat

That's when you know your pitch glue is just right Pat.

I'm always amazed with the strength of good pitch glue and sinew.

It was in a homemade triangle box with a gazillion plastic grocery bags. It was broke right where it said,"don't bend" .

Postal Service insurance is worthless for what we make. It took Chris Cade almost a year to get reimbursed for a hand built Flintlock that showed up with a broken stock and fork lift tracks across it.

  Mullet, That makes me feel sick. I tried to make sure it was well padded and labeled. I'm sorry, It looks like it was mishandled on purpose. Broken in 2 places ! Is the point ruined also ?
My wife mailed it out for me, I'll ask her if it was insured.

.... and I am kinda amazed that there is a cast iron sink in "just missed the target" range to your target backstop. 

Impressive glue.  Please move the sink.  Russ.

It may not help, I've done some pretty impressive misses.
