No scorpion, additional insurance was not discussed, neither was parcel post. You could argue they are one in the same but they are NOT.
After our initial telephone conversation John hung up the phone to obtain shipping quote of $31 which was obviously not from USPS as they charged him 39.04 to ship a part I can ship for $21 insured.
I as well as 3 or 4 others here just assumed everyone insured their parts for the amount of the sale to cover their own asses. I have never requested a shipping/tracking # either unless a part is not here in reasonable amount of time. I was appalleld to find out there was NO shipping #.
