You know, I am so feeling your pain Avery. I
cant beleive, after all that money you spent on
that gorgeous cel that someone would package it
like that! When I ship things, I always make
sure to use very thick cardboard on both sides,
and I slap DO NOT BEND in big red marker all over
it. Sometimes though, it still doesnt help.
Post office folks dont get paid well, and, I
guess we all know about how they act sometimes.
I got a cel from a friend that I was going to get
signed at con for, but it didnt arrive in time,
so when it did arrive, I just put Return To
Sender on it. It was packaged well, with DO NOT
BEND all over it too.....but, when my friend got
it back, it was in bad shape! She had a real
fit, which is understandable, it was a great
cel! Thank God though, she was lucky, the bends
didnt reach the cel, just the box.
I have also gotten damaged things, like doujinshi
that was bent down the middle. It's not near as
heartbreaking as a bent cel, but it still counts
for poor packaging. These items are so rare, and
special to peopel most of the time. I think they
deserve the right packaging. Im always VERY
careful about sending things in the mail. I was
going to send one of my Nuriko cels off to get
restored, but not until I find two sheets of iron
to put him in to send!
Anyways {{huggs}} Im sorry about that. Try
contacting the seller too. Im still waiting for
the day when I get a cel in the mail that's
damaged. It hasnt happened to me yet, but it's
inevitable I think. People just dont take care
of them when they ship them out. |
