    Yeah, cause the common carriers never screw up...

    If you think about the volume any of these services do and the percentage if the time they do it flawlessly, you'd be impressed. However statistics never matter to the individual. Your package was mishandled, so the entire system is flawed and incompetent. Totally reasonable....

    I've received tens of thousands of bullets delivered by USPS and only had a breakout once. That package was poorly sealed and inadequately taped.

    They all screw up but i have had more packages lost or damaged by USPS than any other.

    I was flipping silver dollars on nunnbay and a package with three Morgans that sold for $110 total went missing for two weeks.
    Suddenly it just showed up, but i almost had to refund the guy.

    Don't get me started on tracking.
    Ship something from Alabama to Georgia and it makes a loop to New York and back.
    I don't understand that....

    l have been a GB member since 2000.. Bought hundreds of items both here and other sites in the last 15 years...20 years prior to the internet..Busted pkgs has been just a recent horror...

    l have only seen this happen since a little before this past Christmas..So why am l seeing more busted stuff in the past 3 months than the previous THIRTY-FIVE YEARS [?][?]

    0nly one way l can deal with this... Fire the USPS.. Whole damn bunch...Starting NOW. l will no longer send or receive pkgs thru the US mail...Before bidding or buying l will contact the seller/vendor FIRST....lf he/they ship thru the mail l dont buy....l m[?]ay miss some... but l will no longer tolerate scrambled pkgs..........
