What's your worst shipping horror story?
We've all had horrible shippers who don't seem to know what they're doing. What are your worst examples?
I had ordered a 1948 Bowman card from a guy and paid over $6 for shipping. He took a piece of tacky substance and stuck the card to an index card, threw it in a #10 envelope and then made the thing "signature required". So I had to head down to the post office to get this disaster. Others?

Not really a shipping mistake, but I accidentally discarded with the packaging a T206 of Cy Young. Brings feeling foolish to another level. I never bought another to replace the "hole" in my set.

A unique 1910 Red Sox panoramic, which I won in a major auction many moons ago, was poorly shipped and the glass shattered in transit, resulting in a giant tear.
I got my money back, but it's a shame that had to happen to such an awesome item....

Not blaming the seller, but I once got a card one year after they mailed it. It was in a non machineable envelope, my guess it got stored somewhere for a longgggg time.

Purchased a 1953 Bowman Mickey Mantle graded a 2.5 by PSA (still have the old cert somewhere) It was misdelivered, stolen, and put up on ebay again about a state over from me. I was eventually refunded my money, but I still wish I had the card!

Like fifteen years ago I had this high-grade 52T Campy sent to me by FedEx from the US. The guy forget to get signature and the idiot driver left it at the wrong house! If that wasn't bad enough, when I phoned FedEx, and they reached out to the driver, he told them that he had the right house! This went on for a few days and then one day the idiot showed up at my house with the package and apologized. Put me through hell!

David Bergen - the antithesis of this thread!
Won quite a few of his auctions here on net54. Dave Bergen has the BEST shipping/packaging and cool surprise inserts. Love his shipping…
