Worst packaging job ever?

Saw this on a Facebook group I'm in and wanted to give y'all a good laugh.

Didn't come to me, thankfully.

Wow, how cheap is that!

 

Hahahaha wow. I wish I was there to see the face of the postal employees as it made it's journey.

 

That is better than an Ike dollar I won on Ebay, they just tossed it in in a regular envelope and mailed it. It ripped through and never made it to me.

 

@NumisRookie
Don't ever post a picture with an address on it! Yours or a friends!

 

Now that's funny!

 

While I agree that the presentation isn't the most professional and I wouldn't send something like that, I don't think it's that terrible. So long as the item is securely attached and protected, I wouldn't have a big problem with it.

 

Easier for a dishonest mail handler to stuff in a sock or underwear, but lets not forget that the mail handler would be the real criminal. At least this sender doesn't put "coins" or any thing else that would indicate it's something of value on the label. Some sellers have the valuables they sell in their business name on return address. You would think they would be more discreet but apparently they don't care.

 

Didn't even think about it. Edit made. Thank you for pointing it out.

I didn't think because I know I never would post my address. I can't believe he posted that to Facebook. Craziness!

 

You might want to let him know.

 

Lol you know, funny you should mention that. When I ship coins I always put the business name on the return address as "Custom Bookmarks Inc". I decided on that because I figure some custom bookmark would be the least desirable thing to steal. I'm sure there's some weirdo out in the world that has a thing for bookmarks with other people's names on them but I think that gives it a better shot!

 

It's already been brought up. He wasn't worried about it.

 

Was the item damaged during shipping?

 

Nope.

 

I know places where that address - of a known coin collector - can be sold for money.

 

I recently had an experience with this. I bought the new Mark Twain half from the mint. They were supposed to send it FedEx and I would sign for it. I guess FedEx pushed it over to USPS. I didn't know this. I never received it. Still haven't been reimbursed for it either. Bs

 

There's a FedEx service option called "SmartPost", in which FedEx does the bulk of shipping (transportation), and FedEx delivers it to the local post office, in which the USPS does the actual delivery. Maybe it was that? In any case, I've had that happened to me and I contacted the vendor for a refund and got one.

 

Maybe the shipping weight was just over the limit? But, that doesn't seem to make sense for what was being shipped... everything that's three ounces or less would cost the same when purchased online. It's only about a flat 15 cents more for first class packages weighing anywhere between 4 and 8 ounces
