"We Care" - USPS - My surprise yesterday...

[ruth-gehrig]

Yeah that really sucks! Sorry Leon! I was recently sweating a baseball bat tube package that was plastered with "Received in damaged condition". Somehow the tube was cut in half although the bat survived without damage.

Was "Received in damaged condition" and "Received without contents" two different incidences down the assembly line? Is there any surveillance in sorting areas that perhaps reduce theft of package contents do you suppose?

Insurance, insurance, insurance. Never pass on insurance.

Sorry that happened to you, Leon.

For the past year or so, I ship everything in a box, well-secured.

No more bubble envelopes.

I've seen that black before on items I have sent and received it means it got caught in a sorting machine and ground until it looks like it caught fire . Hate to see a valued item treated like that .

SUCKS!

I can relate to a lesser degree. My SI Baseball Preview issue showed up and it looked like someone's dog played with it.

I agree with other posters. The mailing package is as just as important as the card. I have had so many people mail cards in regular envelopes that were sent through a machine and damaged.

Went to the camp this weekend and returned to the house last night to find a stack of mail sitting on my back porch. Of course it rained and everything was soaked. At the top of the stack was a USPS Priority box and I'm thinking "Well whatever is in that is probably ruined." It was the REA catalog and because someone had put the catalog in a plastic bubble mailer before putting it in the box, it was completely dry.

The rest was mostly bills so I don't really care if those are all soaked.
