HI, all:

A few months ago, I sent a package of OA consignments to Heritage.  Unfortunately, the package was out for delivery Mar 4th and never seen/heard from again.  The artwork was sent with item tracking and signature confirmation but was stolen in transit by a USPS driver.  I have spent the past two months working with USPS (not helpful at all) and HA (very helpful).  A police report has been filed

Only to play devils advocate, if you're the USPS guy delivering to Heritage, you're definitely going to be under a microscope. My guess would be someone stealing from a parked truck.

I'd also be shocked if USPS admitted theft.

Stealing from a parked truck at the same destination a week apart?  Not sure about that.

considering the value it's insane that you didn't use registered mail.

How is registered mail any different than the service I used?  Item tracking and signature confirmation.

again, this is the 1st time I’ve had anything stolen after sending thousands of packages worldwide.

Registered has a chain of custody, all other tiers have unmonitored accessibility ... GOD BLESS ...

USPS has been absolutely useless.  If they do know who did it, they are not sharing the information.

My ex worked in tracking years ago at a major courier company in Canada and the vast majority of packages that went *missing* were opened or stolen by employees. The problem was so rampant that the company would frequently run sting operations with bait packages to catch the suspected crooks in the act. The problem was that my ex was also on the union and she said that in order to avoid battles with the union (who always vigorously defended the accused union member - even when caught red-handed) and/or lengthy criminal cases the company almost always encouraged the guilty employees to quit in exchange for no mention of the *suspected* theft on their record. And the stolen packages were just recorded as lost with any insurance paid out...
