you're wrong on this - I've been there and investigated this before - insurance is completely different and includes an internal tracking system (for USPS use only) - it's NOT the same situation at all...
No, you're wrong.
There is *no* tracking, internal or otherwise of USPS insured parcels, numbered or unnumbered. Insured parcels get the same scans as DC parcels. The only tracking available, internal or otherwise, is on Express Mail.
Parcels with special services *may* be scanned on acceptance, but are scanned on delivery. If a signature is required, a signed record is kept at the delivery office. None of that is tracking.
As I said, it's the same quandary. In either case there would have been a RECORD OF DELIVERY. The end.
Unless somebody could provide proof that the buyer did not receive the item, the proof of delivery (either the Delivery Confirmation or Insurance scan) would stand.
I don't see the USPS paying an insurance claim if there was a record of delivery.
I've been there and investigated as well.
Or better, actually.
