Anyone have luck with usps insurance for damaged feet?

Sent a cab and it was packed quite well.  I pack cabs very tight to the point of pushing bubble wrap down in order to close the lid.  Literally 2/3 of the feet were damaged in shipment.  Has anyone filed a claim for damaged cigars rather than if they go missing? ?

They will most likely blame you for packaging them incorrectly. I have no experience but most shippers blame damage on the packaging.

If that's the case then why pay for insurance?

[Uncle Lou]

Just in case they get lost which sometimes causes it’s own problems, they typically want a receipt before they pay, and if it’s unobtanium well good luck getting a fair settlement.

I don't believe technically you can ship cigars/tobacco through the USPS without a license so making an insurance claim won't go very far.

Haven’t heard that but I would not put anything past them to not pay.
