Par4QC I will add something here I noticed last night.....insurance through PirateShip. Don't bother. Long story short, if the package gets delivered, insurance is moot. Damaged goods or not. (from what I understood from reading their site)
reading? nah, seems more like you might be illiterate or stone drunk, which would explain a lot of your other nonsense on this topic .

"USPS will provide compensation for the postage cost for missing package claims. When filing a missing package claim with USPS, there will be a field available in the claims form to declare your postage cost. There, you'll need to enter the value you paid for postage in Pirate Ship, and must use your Shipment page as proof of payment.
For claims for damaged packages, USPS won't provide compensation for the postage cost. This is because USPS has fulfilled the underlying service that was paid for (transit and delivery of the package), even if the contents were damaged in the process. So, you can only claim the product cost in the Priority Mail claims process.
"
They won't reimburse the POSTAGE cost for a misdelivered or damaged package. That's about as night and day difference as what you claimed. Further, it has nothing to do with pirate ship, that USPS policy and would be the same exact thing as if you went into the post office, bought postage+insurance there in person, and had the same thing happen to your package.
