There were supposed to be 5 rolls in this package but only 3 made it, and those were busted open. I'm SO mad. I'm looking for advice as to what to do now. I've e-mailed the sender and am waiting for a response. This is what it looked like when I got it...      Thanks, A. |

You need to file a claim with the seller ASAP. Sorry about the tough luck but a reimbursement should be forthcoming.

ah man... that must hurt  Where's Williston - your end or the seller's? Five rolls have a bit of weight.. if they weren't secured in that envelope there's a good chance they did their own busting out with the way those envelopes get slung around. |

Well first, try to calm down a little and see if the seller makes it right first. Mad can be revisited if he/she doesn't.  Second, send the seller a link to these small flat rate boxes so he/she doesn't make the same mistake again. They are the same price to ship as the envelope he used no matter what they weigh, and they are much safer for rolls. |

I'm sorry that happened to you. I think it has been tampered with, not just from rolls punching through.

Whatever happened.....that certainly doesn't seem like a very "sturdy" package to be sending 5 heavy rolls in ! When they put hidden cameras at the airports to catch those "luggage handlers" abusing luggage and stealing and going through peoples stuff.......I wonder how much different it would be "behind the scenes" at the Post Office ......

Why in the world would someone send rolls of coins in a Flat Rate ENVELOPE?  I agree with Bobby131313, a Flat Rate BOX would have been a no-brainer on the sellers part. Definitely go for the jugular, and demand a refund; Improper shipping, and Missing a couple of rolls (3 instead of 5 shipped). I would be pretty chapped over this situation, especially with the mark-up and demand for the Log Cabins Lincolns.  success, |

I would try and settle with the seller in a civil manner. Then I would not buy from them ever again. That is a sorry excuse for packaging. I mean I went so far as to send a padded envelope inside another padded envelope to Matchbox just for a the offer he had on D mints. And that was for 2 coins!!

OK, OK, OK. The sellers name is Ryan Jester and he has MUCH integrity!.
I got an e-mail saying sorry and to make it up, he will replace the 2 rolls that were lost. (packed better). The 3 rolls are still busted but, Hey, that's more than I was expecting.
So Ryan, if you're here, you are a class act with good taste in boards!.
xshift...Williston is MY end.
As I expect with a lot of you here, I have a great relationship with my mailmen and women. I get a lot of packages. He said "rolls of "pennies" were going all over the mailroom". "I knew immediately who's they were".
So I think all is well for now and thank you all for your input. If Ryan wasn't a stand up guy, which he is. I would have done...some of what you have suggested. Some of you kinda scare me now.:)
Thanks,
A.

Please don't forget to show him those boxes, they are only a few months old and he may not know about them.

Not sure what the flat rate envelope runs, but there is a new flat rate box that would accomodate these perfectly. It's about the size of a VCR tape roughly, and the rate is $4.95. The boxes are decently sturdy and best of all free from the post office. Oh well...live and learn. Sounds like the seller is making good on it. |

I just shipped out a $1000.00 slabbed coin to California and I made a insert that held a slab that had three layers of bubble wrap around it and then with a layer of cardboard all around that and it fitted snug in another box. after that I used brown 3 inch reinforced tape around the last box. Short of a house falling on it. The guy must have had a few choice words opening that box. The way he sent those rolls were irresponsible. and you know what, From the looks of that ripe, it was open by someone before or after the first roll may or may not have fallin out.
