[QUOTE="SeberHusky, post: 2316131, member: 72959"]Different subject, but same topic. I had a Laserdisc box set of Jurassioc Park get lost somewhere in Allen Park, MI sorting hub. The seller refunded me and I declaired it lost. But a day before Christmas, an entire month after it went missing just 100 miles from my home, there it was on my doorstep. The USPS repacked it in their own box, a special box made for LP records, and with a note inside. I looked up the tracking # again and it turned out it got sent from Michigan all the way to Georgia to their damaged and lost mail hub and they repacked it for me and sent it back up. There was no damage to the item at all, but they included the original packaging with the box, and the reason they couldn't deliver it was somehow going from the great plains to michigan, the face of the envelope had gotten abraised and torn or wet, and the address and postage paid stickers came off. Luckily because the seller had the receipt in the package, with both our addresses on it, it was easy for them to get it home. Often times, the damage is due to seller mishaps to cut corners and maximize money. Like putting a 2 lb. school textbook in a cardboard envelope. Don't always place blame on the USPS. One person doesn't hand-deliver each and every package onto each piece of machinery. Especially on the holidays when things get overloaded, you got a lot of packages going through at one time. There could be a 60 lb. computer on top of your purchase, or if the envelope catches in the rollers on the conveyor and gets jammed up.[/QUOTE]
