I scheduled my first USPS pick-up recently. It was hot as hell on the day of and it was a 4000 dollar book, so I didn't leave it out by our garage to bake in the sun for hours while waiting for the...

Glad to hear it came through unscathed!

Oh my friggen god, I would be bullshit if it's damaged. Is it just the book with butcher paper wrapped around it? Or is there some sort of structure inside?

You are very welcome. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

I added the FEEDBACK WILL BE LEFT UPON RECEIPT as a passive aggressive way to state......"pack it well or suffer the...

Glad you brought that up.....here is my boiler-plate comment that I include in EVERY Paypal Payment (yes there is a place when sending payment to add a message to seller....after you type it out, it...

That’s frustrating as hell! Let us know how it turns out.

Wow how do you advertise a book using condition as a factor, how fine it is, and then put it in the mail in a plastic bag? What an asshole. Was the book damaged?

Shit, it looks like amazon outsourced their packaging to Waterstones for that one. That sucks, Brian.

Wow, 10%? What a joke. That's bad customer service, to say the least. Sorry to hear it.

Holy shit, it looks like Waterstones ships their packages to a zoo for some heavy gnawing and then has them forwarded to their customers. That's friggen awful.

That's discouraging to say the least. I can't help but be curious as to what small press this is in reference to...

I bought a copy of Under the Dome, which was advertised as 'like new,' and the seller shipped it in what amounted to a paper bag. The book did have a single layer of bubble wrap around it though, so...

I think one of the worst parts of at_one's experience is the fact that it was an EOTD. It's such a big impressive book that you really look forward to receiving once you've finally pulled the trigger...

Sending it all the way to the destination before sending it back with those notes sounds like a classic USPS maneuver. It was probably some hard-on at the destination post office that got his or her...

That's pretty awesome that you got it back! Packaged a bit different, dust jacket on wrong, but at least it didn't get committed to the USPS void.

Apparently USPS doesn't want to be early to the party. Arrives at the 'destination facility,' looks at watch and tells whoever's driving to circle the block to waste time, which turns into a detour...

That's what I was thinking. Could be it dropped on the floor and a mail cart or something was pushed over it. Kinda looks like that.[/QUOTE]

Haha, it does look like that! And the cart that was...

Shit, I don't even understand how a package could get that dirty in the hands of the USPS. I would start to suspect it was purposeful too.

The seller owned a bookstore and shipped them like that? Maybe his store specializes in damaged books...

Holy shit, this one is baaad. Brown paper as a box? yikes.
