Why would they ask? Why disclose? And why would they refuse to accept it? This is simply a case of a rogue clerk refusing to do their job. I have heard of this happening from time to time. There would be hell to pay with their postmaster if it every happened to me.

The postal service should never ask what the contents of the package is. Only if it is perishable, hazardous, blah, blah, blah. Even if it is being insured. It is not in their paperwork or script of questions.
