How you receive a $600 jersey from Saco River

Well you sure got fast service. The auction ended wed night

I can see why you would want safe and secure shipping on a $600 jersey.

That said, I really appreciate when an AH will send something cheaply, as long as I'm comfortable with that. There have been times when I've been pleasantly surprised when an AH will agree to forego the signature required, certified, etc.

$15 shipping and handling. I appreciate the fast shipping, but that doesn't make up the lack of care packing. Can't get the picture to upload of how it looked coming out of the package but it was haphazardly folded and just stuck in the envelope.

It's inexcusable. That packaging is beyond insufficient, and could easily have been punctured.

Thanks for the heads-up, as I now know not to bid with them.

What a strange response. Speed of shipping is largely irrelevant in this case. Slightly more relevant than saying, "well you sure got a pretty yellow envelope." But not much more. The question is, was shipping a $600 jersey in a padded envelope sufficient? If you think so, would you like a $600 card shipped the same way? Would you ship a $600 card that way, just so we know?

I don't understand the deflection from the only question that matters.

I've received photos packaged poorly. It pisses me off, even with safe arrival. It certainly impacts repeat shopping for me.

Couldn't agree more. Sacco could have just as easily shipped the jersey via FedEx or USPS in a medium box, for added protection and it most likely would not have impacted the delivery date anyways. And I'm sure just about all of us would gladly sacrifice a day or two of speed for added care in packaging and shipping.

$15 seems a little on the low side for shipping as well consider the cost of shipping insurance for a valuation of $600. Via the USPS that would be over $7.00 in insurance alone for $600 and via FedEX that would be $6.00 in insurance alone for $6.00. I certainly hope Sacco didn't realize they misquoted the shipping/handling on the invoice after the fact and made the decision to ship in a padded envelope as a result.
