I used the United States Postal Service to send a large box of thoroughly wrapped bulky collectible items along with other particulars. Packed items were:
Advertising tins (10)
Old toys (3)
About 50 mid-grade 1955 Topps and 1955 Bowman baseball cards.
Miscellaneous clothing and financial/personal papers.
The package was delivered. The box was opened and only the tins and toys were still in the box. USPS employee(s) had cut open the seam on the bottom of the box and removed all the other items then resealed it and sent it on.
However there is no evidence that the box had been opened or what was removed. The PO added that if a package is insured, receipts for the missing items would be necessary to consider compensation. Of course this is not possible. I filled out a USPS report of this theft but have no hope of recovering any of the items stolen by their employees.
