Due to
the nature of the shipping process, Video Vault NE cannot be
responsible for tapes lost or damaged in transit. If your tapes are
highly valuable or irreplaceable, we suggest shipping by a verified
shipping service with insurance. These shipping methods involve
additional cost which you must bear. Returning tapes to you by these
verified methods will also involve additional cost - contact us for
more details. U.S. Postal Service
Using the US Postal Service you can ship your
packages with Delivery Confirmation, as Certified Mail, or as
Registered Mail.
 Delivery Confirmation
provides a web based method of verifying that a package was
delivered by the Postal Service to a specific address.
Delivery confirmation does not verify that Video Vault has received
your tapes or a signature - only that the Postal Service has
delivered the tapes to our mailbox.
Certified
Mail will allow you to obtain a delivery signature for your
tapes. Certified mail returns a card to you with the signature of
the recipient shown and will verify delivery to our door step.
Registered
Mail is signed for by each person that handles you package along
the route and returns a signature card to you with the signature of
the final recipient will verify delivery to our door step. Please
note that registered mail must be sealed at each seam with un-waxed
plain paper tape.
Insured
Mail both Certified and Registered mail can be insured and
insure your tapes for a selected value. Be aware that the Insurer
may claim that the tapes only value is the cost of the tape itself -
not the contents.
