OK I recently had a high priced comic I mailed out destroied in the mail. The buyer turned it in for the insurance claim through the post office and now the post office that took it is trying to refuse the claim. And they told me I may be under investigation for mail fraud. They are saying that the box it was sent in shows no signs of water damage yet the comic itself was soaked. I have recieved a photo of the box from the buyer and you can clearly see the bottom is warped and damaged see: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Warrior11219/ShowLetter.jpg Now is there anything else I can do to get an investigation into the post office conducted to get the insurance I paid for on the comic? Or am I just out the $350?

Sounds like mail fraud to me. The picture you are looking at will not show water damaged if in fact it was damaged by the post office.

You can refer the claims investigators to the buyer. I expected better than this from the USPS.

Oh dear... Can you swear a statement and send them to the PO investigators asserting that you did not send a damaged item?
If anything, you'll cover your rear before they accuse you

you call them and tell them you can prove the package was damaged and if they dont honor the claim you will be hiring a lawyer but not for mail fraud
