How do you insure and collect insurance on shipped eggs?

It's a delivery confirmation number, not a tracking number.
Ask any postal employee.
You are exactly the kind of customer that would drive me nuts,
when the number shows nothing on the USPS website.
Why do you think it is called a delivery confirmation?

Sometimes, yes a postal employee will scan a package in route.
And it will show it's progress.
Most of the time they do not. Heck, sometimes they don't even scan it when it's delivered.

It doesnt matter, it is STILL TRACKING WHERE THE PACKAGE HAS BEEN when it IS scanned. And ANY POSTAL employee around here ask you if you want TRACKING and that is what you get.

I agree if a postal employee scans the package it will show that location.

I am stating Postal employees are not required to scan the package except at delivery.
In most case that is how it is done.
I am a powerseller on eBay and ship hundreds of packages a year.
For the past 9 years.
The majority of packages are not scanned til delivered.

Directly from the USPS site:
Track & Confirm by email is an online feature that saves you time by allowing the United States Postal Service

to send current delivery status information on your mail piece.

Delivery Status means the status of delivery, not the tracking of where a package is.

Well since you don't know,
Tracking provides you with a real-time status of your shipped package.

this what USPS provides:
Verify delivery with Delivery Confirmation. Our low cost Delivery Confirmation service gives you the date, ZIP Code™ and time your article was delivered. If delivery was attempted you will get the date and time of attempted delivery. You can easily access this information with our Track & Confirm tool.

Okay, so what I'm gathering is: Hatching eggs are not covered by postal insurance.

Therefore, my postal clerk did an 'oops' when she asked me if I wanted to purchase insurance?

But it might be worth paying it for safer handling, like paying thugs/mobsters 'insurance' not to rough you up?

The USPS does not insure hatching eggs that I know of. :<)

they do every time i ship eggs and i put $100 in insurance on mine and you can claim on it . you just have to do the paperwork right and prove everything price, seller, invoice, it's simple
