USPS broke three of my rods

Patrick Krueger, Jr. · 03-02-08, 07:43 AM

I was in Kentucky and had to come back to finish getting chemotherapy. My dad and I packed eight rods for shipping and insured it for $800. Three rods broke. A Cabela's Tourney Trail worth about $70 new, a BPS Pro Qualifier worth $120 new, and a BPS Performance Graphite worth $99 new.

The post office wants me to prove their value before getting reimbursed. The BPS ones are two years old, and the Cabela's is three. How am I supposed to prove their value? I don't have the receipts. They say sentimental value doesn't count, but my son caught his first bass on the Pro Qualifier.

What's the point of buying insurance if this is what they put you through?
