Article in today's press:
https://www.yahoo.com/news/usps-workers-stealing-mail-according-134343983.html?.tsrc=fp_deeplink

The article mentions 7 or more fired for stealing thousands of pieces of mail in St. Louis. Why aren't they in jail? It's a federal crime.

USPS, UPS and FedX have all lost items for me. None want to pay up when it happens. And even the higher cost Registered shipping, where it is signed for at every stop, failed me for six weeks. They never explained how that did not work. Had the BATF and Postal Inspector involved on that one. No arrest were made but one person was given unpaid time off I was told. It was an honest mistake he claimed. That package was signed for, put into the system and went missing for six weeks. Only after the BATF and Postal Inspector got involved after a claim was filed for insurance. That was a mess as well. Seems they like selling high dollar insurance but not paying off, for anything. What ever shipping works for you use it, but trust nobody. Keep every scrap of paper.

Before auto-pay I had to send a monthly payment for my aunt’s nursing home. Since it was going to the St. Louis area (where I had concerns) each month I would go to our small town PO and send the check registered mail. Talking to the home’s bookkeeper one day she mentioned that I hadn’t paid the previous month’s bill. I pulled out the file where I kept all the paperwork and sure enough, I’d sent the check on time, registered mail. Our postmaster tracked it for me and gave me the direct number to the postmistress there. When I called she was less than helpful until I told her we had tracked it and it was in her post office. There was silence and then “please hold.” About 10 minutes later she came back on and said someone was on the way to deliver it right then. No explanation. No apologies. It had apparently been laying in their registered mail locker for 6-7 weeks.

Do you need to be an FFL holder to ship a long gun through USPS? As a private individual can I ship a long gun to anyone with an FFL eventhough I don't have one?
What about hand guns?
