Bull****.
It is the seller's problem. It's his responsibility to make sure you receive your item in as described condition. If he didn't insure the package that's his problem, not yours.
The insurance is more for his protection than yours. If he gives you any crap about you not requesting insurance then you explain to him what I just said.

I had a similar situation happen with another seller who said "It's not my problem".
I wished I did file the claim. The slowness of the post office drag on for 3 months before they told me no they denied my claim. The seller was no help he said he file his papers one time and the rest is up to me to work it out and solve the problem. He said he does not have the valuble time to be wasted on this claim which is not even his business. He said the buyer has to deal with it with the post office and didn't want anything else to do with it. But yes so my SS baroness came in the mail with a perfect box undamage but when I opened it up the leg broke off in 2 pieces inside my undamage brown shipper box. So if this case the USPS will not cover it even if it was fully insure with all papers and receipts of everything. Just because the brown shipper box shows no damage to the outside of the box. Wow this is crazy how they do business.
