I've sent probably 40 or so packages(alot of CAGs didn't do feedback I think) since I started trading/selling on here and yesterday, I learned that the package I sent had the contents damaged finally.
In a great trade, I was shipping out 40 or so guides(they're sitting here anyway) for an XBox from another CAG. So, naturally, I used a regular sized cardboard box and taped the hell out of it to ensure it wouldn't come open during shipping.
I had received notes from other CAGs I've dealt with before that their guide packages looked beat up and muddy in some cases, but none had EVER had actual damage to the contents.
Of course, the beast of a box I sent out on the 11th weighed in at around 53 pounds, so yeah, it was definitely in the heavyweight mail division.
Well, yesterday, the package arrived at its destination and had apparently gotten wet in transit. Two guides were ruined, others were wrinkled/crinkly, but most were fine.
Thing is, with my past good luck with the postal service, I had never even thought of insuring the guides. And, I don't have copies of either of the ruined ones to send along at the moment.
Whose fault is it? And, have you ever received guides or other items that were damaged en route? I'm just curious, as this has kind of put me off dealing with the postal service on this level ever again. Small bundles are OK(though I think some mailmen honestly are sadistic and take pride in tossing around peoples stuff), but something of this size, never again.
