Could be getting scammed ??

I don't know how the U.S. Postal system works, so I'll show how damaged deliveries are dealt with in the Canadian system. I once received a bubble mailer that was ripped wide open, missing one PSA slabbed card, the other shattered. What Canada Post does is still deliver the package to it's destination, but they put the bubble mailer in a clear bag, taped shut, stating it was damaged in transit. They would never deliver a heavily damaged envelope by itself. By showing the seller the Canadian Post forms that came with my damaged delivery, it showed neither party was at fault and we agreed to split the cost. Do they bag damaged deliveries like this in the States?

That's how my post office delivers any item that is damaged or partially opened, etc.

Jeff,

I have only received one package damaged in transit and it was bagged and labeled exaclty as you described.

BTW, your cards will be shipped out tomorrow. They are all boxed up and heavily taped :-)

Thanks for bringing this to light. People might want to use insurance and choose who they sell stuff to on the BST. Sorry it happened to both of you. Threats seem like a strong response over 200.00 worth of cards........

So why was this envelope delivered in this condition? It should have been bagged and tagged. Something doesn't seem right. Larry, we need your expertise!

(Thanks Dave, can't wait to get the football cards!)
