Has anyone else been having trouble with USPS & items being damaged? I package things well, mark them "fragile, please do not drop or crush" and insure them. I have seen post office employees throw boxes around, and when I asked post office employees why items get damaged, I was told because the boxes are thrown around all the time. They wan to keep increasing their postage rates while the services continues to decline. We can insure things, but that does not solve the problem. People usually would rather have the item they purchased rather than a refund. Does anyone know of a way for many Ebay sellers/buyers to unite and file a complaint and try to get something done about it? As long as we sit by and accept it, it will continue. Any ideas out there?

When I send something via USPS, I presume it wil be thrown at least 10 feet, and will be buried under other packages. Pack accordingly. You can do all the writing in the world, but if they don't read it, it does no good.
May I suggest you either need to improve your packing, or just come to the conclusion cerain things can not go via USPS.
