horrible shipping

I opened the mailbox today only to find a stadard mailing envelope containing two toploaders each holding two "mint" Nolan Ryan OPC. I paid $6 to ship these cards from Canada and olny got one envelope and two stamps and to beat all these cards where average condition. The guy might as well put the stamp on the toploader and send it.

A lot of the canadian shippers don't do a very good job.
I get regular envelopes many times with a .60 cent stamp
on it. Card is usually in a top loader, but I've had several
that received surface creases somewhere in the middle
of the card because they probably ran it through the meter
machine at the post office. Top loaders can only go so far.

My latest Canadian arrival.....15 cards paid $3.50 for shipping.
All 15 cards were put in a team bag and in a regular envelope.
The envelope looked squished up and dinged on the corner.
Lo and behold, so were all cards with bent corners.

Now that I think about it the last card I got from Canada came between two top loaders. By the time I realized the card wasnt in one of them and I cut the tape holding the two together I damaged the card. WTF?

Last card I got from Canada also was damaged. It was a full 8X10 card, placed between 2 pieces of cardboard, and in a bubble envelope.
Mail bent the card on one side, and just a small piece of cardboard isn't going to stop that. Maybe if it had been placed in a big toploader
it would have made it here undamaged. Oh well....

Let's put it to the test! Someone PM me with their address and I will send it to their house and then they can scan the toploader and let's see how it survives.

I think if you put my info where yours should be and yours where mine should be, we can avoid using a stamp. The card will be marked return to sender. Thats is what I plan to do with all of my wedding invitaions. lol

Stone, how much to ship that card? $4.50?

Will the post office accept that? Seems to me that that would be similar to shipping your check with your credit card bill stapled to each other and a stamp on the upper corner of the c.c. statement!

Being a Canadian, I tend to buy more cards from Canada than from the US, and I can't say that Canadian shippers in general ship their cards any worse than Americans do. You're going to find idiots on both sides of the border.
