Usps service

[427425]

I sent a pair of original 68Z calipers to Lonestar on May 28th 2020, and insured them for $500.00. Calipers have never been found. In August I was informed a picture of the broken empty box was taken in a USPS facility in Tennessee ? (Sent from Phoenix to Dallas area).
USPS wanted a receipt for the calipers to consider the insurance coverage. After many conversations and emails I ended up with the Customer's Advocates office in Washington DC.
Because of a lack of a receipt for 52 years old calipers, they decided they were worth $217.70, I wrote them to explain the cost difference between common Camaro calipers and the 67-68 4 piston variety. No response.
Beware insuring anything you don't have a sales receipt for. I even sent them the invoice for the replacements I had to buy. The local UPS folks told me the same thing. No proof of purchase value no refund !!
