Homeland security or abuse of authority??

Bought some mags on GB. Check cleared 4/19 or so, written on 4/16. Around 5/10 I emailed the seller asking about tracking. He responds with the appropriate tracking no. Checked w/ USPS.com and the box was delivered to the PO 4/22. Not one notice in my mailbox telling me that a package was being held for me.
Get to the PO this AM and, yes, they have the package. Get it out to the counter and it has obviously been opened (rifled through). All 10 mags are there and the UPC barcode has been obliterated and a note on the box says that a notice was left on 4/19, three days before the website says it reached my local PO. A couple of the ziplock bags were slit open which gives me pause to wonder if government employees lack the intellect to comprehend the technology of the 20 year old ziplock bag.
The PO only keeps such parcels two weeks as a rule, allowing a week for pick up after each of two notices in your mailbox (neither of which I received) which makes me wonder if this is an attempt at fraud by a postal employee or simply classic bureaucratic indifference?

Proving it is impossible.
Glad you got your mags.
Better use USP for a while to break the scent (sent) trail. [:)]

Are you in a state that restricts mag capacity? If so, that could be the reason your package was opened. Otherwise you don't have much beef except with a slow shipper perhaps. Sounds like he held your package too long before mailing.
No.
Read first, then put your foot in your mouth.

Sad to think that the loser who walks a mail route has absolute power and you have none, isn't it?
Still sounds like a slow shipper, at least by my calender.
Let me guess, you work for the USPS?
When did he mail it? You leave out that piece if info. Looks like he sat on your order for 3 weeks. No I don't deliver mail. Sorry, I don't see what you are complaining about other than that. If this trouble is the extent of your life's worries, then I would let it go.

Not going to read it for you.
Did you ask the postal clerk what the deal is?
Do you believe that a postal clerk will tell you anything beyond when she punches out and takes her breaks? I did ask how the mailman could have left a notice three days before the box arrived at the PO.
Amazingly, she had no answer.

Why they were stupid enough to open it and cut the ziplocks open...maybe somebody wanted to see if they would fit their toy.
