Recently, I sold a Abe Lincoln Caramel card to a board member in Canada, and look at the crap he got. wasn't insured, I do have the customs receipt, stamped from the postal contract station I used. any recourse on this> ideas? THANKS

How the hell does something like that happen? Did they drop a bowling ball on it? Sorry but I cannot help with your question but hopefully you can get something from it.

USPS priorty mail comes with 50$ insurance. As far in your case..i guessing you eat that one, because item is not as described, right?
I have heard or read, folks write that's its your responsibility all the way to their doorstep. This is where signature confirmation comes in. some use registered mail where whenever it changes hands, it gets signed for.
Sorry for being the Debbie-downer. Just my 2cents..thats the reason I use priorty flat rate boxes, tho bubble mailers is the cheaper and cost productive route.
He could also keep the card and give the price difference/partial refund as well.

Was the slab sandwiched between a few pieces of cardboard or was it placed in the envelope loose? If it was loose it wouldn't matter where it was going, damage would be guaranteed!

No recourse unless you have insurance (through third party collectibles insurance, purchased from USPS at the time of shipping, or potentially homeowners).

I also would be interested to hear about how this item was packaged for shipment.
