No, there was not.

Also, as much as I want to blame USPS, I'm starting to think it was a horrible packing job from the seller.

The picture I showed above, of the opened box. It slid open like that on it's own. It was not taped closed. I suspect if was never properly taped closed. It looks like the seller re-used an old box that was sent to them (nothing wrong with that), but neglected to put any additional tape on top of the old tape job. You can see on the side (which I've blurred out most of it), they didn't even properly block out the old Shipping and Return address, before they slapped another label on a different part of the box, to send it out to me.

It looked like they had a bunch of other BBCE boxes that sold at the same time. Most of them, more expensive then mine. Hope they shipped those out better then mine.

Also, their response to me after I sent them pictures and an explanation, didn't exactly give me confidence this won't be a long drawn out game of chicken.

I'll quote below:
