Likely nothing will turn up but always a good idea to get the community involved if possible. Thanks again.

What was the condition of the bubble mailer when it was received b y the buyer? Had it been opened and resealed? Was it ripped or damaged in some way?

Crap. That sucks Joshua. I’ll keep an eye out. It may change hands a few times before we see it, but it’ll show up eventually.

It was torn on the side. No resealing. Anyone who knows me knows I don't skimp on tape either...

I don't know if it would help, but a picture of the ripped package could make it more likely for an insurance claim to be paid. I hope things work out for you.

That sucks Josh.

Was it from our local USPS office that you sent it? I've had some weird vibes from them when I ship cards w/ insurance. Especially two employees who asked with a bit too much curiosity in their voice. The second time I nearly walked out, but decided to ship some stuff to SGC anyway. Thankfully in each case the cards arrived as expected.

Can/should they be directly asking what you're shipping if you put insurance on it...as long as it's nothing that violates standard laws?

When I worked at USPS anything that was torn open and empty would get scanned "received without contents" and it was up to the carrier if they would put it in a "we care" body bag. No carriers would deliver an empty bubble mailer without one or the other, if only to leave some kind of a trail and keep themselves from getting blamed.

I also never had a package ripped open after I delivered it. Might disappear from the mailbox but nobody would steal a bubble mailer, empty it, then put it back.

That bites big time, Josh. It is unique looking so maybe it will pop up somewhere and someone will remember. Good luck..
