How the hell does something like that happen? Did they drop a bowling ball on it? Sorry but I cannot help with your question but hopefully you can get something from it.

USPS priorty mail comes with 50$ insurance. As far in your case..i guessing you eat that one, because item is not as described, right?
I have heard or read, folks write that's its your responsibility all the way to their doorstep. This is where signature confirmation comes in. some use registered mail where whenever it changes hands, it gets signed for. Sorry for being the Debbie-downer. Just my 2cents..thats the reason I use priorty flat rate boxes, tho bubble mailers is the cheaper and cost productive route. He could also keep the card and give the price difference/partial refund as well.

Was the slab sandwiched between a few pieces of cardboard or was it placed in the envelope loose? If it was loose it wouldn't matter where it was going, damage would be guaranteed!

No recourse unless you have insurance (through third party collectibles insurance, purchased from USPS at the time of shipping, or potentially homeowners).
I also would be interested to hear about how this item was packaged for shipment. |

I don't remember, but may not have put cardboard and been careless

Consider it a lesson learned and move on. This is the risk that is run when cards are not properly packed before shipping.

I always pack well, this time, not so apparently. I don't consider "hard lessons learned" when you are literally living hand to mouth. It bleeping sucks period

No idea if you have any recourse but in the future I recommend shipping in a box. I buy these from Uline. Never once had a problem with shipping.

That sucks Scott. I buy and sell a lot of hockey and I've had dreadful results with $hit like that happening with my sales to Canada. From now on I over protect when I ship and I still had damage done to a recent shipment there. I've never(knock on wood) had a problem domestically.

I agree it sucks, and I didn't mean to sound insensitive. But without insurance there isn't any recourse that I can think of. The suggestion to use a box for shipping is a good one. It will help prevent this from happening again.
