I don't think this is true. AFAIK, the seller is responsible for delivering the product to the customer, but that the transaction is not complete until the buyer receives the product. The shipper only bears liability if insurance was purchased in most cases. IANAL, but I have done some mail order business. > While one may not want to hear that, > most companies operate that way. Actually, most companies insure their shipments and replace lost orders, at least the ones I deal with. I would never deal with a company which refuses to replace an order lost by the shipper. If I pay for a product and never receive it, it is the responsibility of the seller to deal with the issue. The shipper is not my client, but it is the client of the seller, so the seller takes responsibility for the actions of their client. My credit card company agrees and would be more than willing to do a chargeback if a package I purchased is lost, and the seller refuses to live up to their end of the contract. > We know that the product shipped so > it is either the United States Postal Service or the French Postal > Service that has stolen or lost the package.
