FedEx Smartpost USPS Insurance Fraud Scam Buyer Beware Alert

FedEx Smartpost is so slow. It usually takes 8 to 9 days to go cross
USA. 3-4 days to just go to same or an adjoining state. They use USPS
parcel post so there is a high percentage that your package will be
lost.

They lead you to believe that there is $100 insurance on your
shipments. However when a package is lost or not delivered, they will
tell you there responsibility is only to pick up the package. The USPS
system is responsible after the initial pick up, and of course, there
is no insurance with the USPS Parcel Post system. They dispose of your
package at the local post office the package is presumed lost, or
probably employees split it all up

A too slow method to ship with deceptive insurance practices. False
implied practices, such as making you think you are getting $100
insurance; they even ask for the phone number of the receiver. This is
a business buyer beware situation. Don’t get involved unless you also
insure your packages by a 3rd party and have over a week to get it to
them.

I would like to report them to the BBB, FTC, US Government, but they
are both untouchable. Anyone have any suggestions?

Report it to the postmaster at the post office.

It should be considered mail fraud.if they are claiming the package shipped
by USPS has insurance when it has no insurance.
