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

As others have stated...this is the fault of the person sending the package. For a $100 card, they could have sprung for a small box that would have cost maybe .50¢ more in mailing cost. A real shame....sorry Leon.

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.
