I have had 2 knives disappear after being shipped using USPS. I mean two different disappearances. I shipped a two year old Benchmade CLA back to benchmade just for sharpening and it just was gone. I tried for several weeks to track it calling different postal sites all with no luck. I thought "Man I am glad I paid for extra insurance" I had bumped it up to $400. I sent the post office the original 2 year old receipt for the knife of $237.99. Two weeks later I get a check from USPS for $91. They just randomly depreciated my perfect knife to $91. I filed half a dozen appeals but they would not budge and it really pisses me off. I guess shipping a knife size box addressed to Benchmade Knives is like a red flashing light to any less than honest employees they might have at USPS. It is an enigma because if you choose to cover all your bases and ship thru UPS and buy extra insurance (I know because I had to do this last week) it will cost around $45--whereas if you use USPS with extra insurance it will only be around $16 but then even it you are covered for $600 they very well may decide it's only worth $75. What a pack of crooks.
