Hi Ack,

The comment about EMS being insured for only 
500.00 is completely *wrong* - unless the sender 
did not put extra insurance on it.  While I know 
you have not posted the name of who you 
purchased the cel from, I'm making a bit of an 
assumption based on previous comments you've 
made. I won't name names though... but when they 
ship, it's my understanding they insure packages 
for the full value of cels purchased, unless 
specifically requested *not* to.  

I'd very very strongly urge you to contact 
someone in *charge* at the postal inspectors. 
Don't let them try and pull any kind of crap 
like this. If you have just been speaking to the 
people at your local PO, they probably don't 
know you can insure the packages over the base 
of 500.00 - *ESPECIALLY* the carriers. Heh, I 
work as a carrier and am astounded by how little 
the other carriers know, considering I've been 
there 5 months or so, and some of them have been 
there *years*.  Often times, the clerks at the 
counters are no better. 

If you yield no results by talking to the postal 
inspectors, I can get additional phone numbers 
for you to call. Just *don't* let them try and 
tell you that you are only going to get 500.00 
for your "lost" package. -_-;;;  If you need 
further assistance, you can email me at 
shizurachan@yahoo.com and I'll get you some more 
specific info.  I'll be crossing my fingers for 
you in hopes that the package shows up - I can't 
believe they "lost" an EMS package. O_o;;;
