{“type”:”text”,”text”:”This is Steven Chayer with the DisputeVoice Consumer Protection Minute. If you’ve been scammed, suspect fraud, or want protection? You’re in the right place.nnListen, filing a USPS complaint is like trying to teach a cat to fetch – possible, but you gotta know the tricks. Here are seven mistakes that’ll sink your case faster than a lead balloon in Narragansett Bay.nnFirst, waiting too long. You’ve got 60 days for damaged goods, one year for lost mail. Miss those deadlines? You’re toast.nnSecond, calling the wrong number. The USPS has more phone trees than a Vermont maple farm. Call consumer affairs, not your local post office.nnThird, no tracking number? No two ways about it, you’re fighting uphill in a nor’easter. Always keep those receipts.nnFourth, vague complaints. “My package arrived beat up” won’t cut it. Document like you’re building a court case – because you might be.nnFifth, ignoring the online forms. They’re clunky as an old lobster boat, but they create paper trails.nnSixth, not following up. One complaint won’t do it. Be persistent as a seagull after your french fries.nnSeventh, forgetting insurance claims. If you bought it, use it first.nnThis has been the DisputeVoice Consumer Protection Minute.
