A few cards inside were damaged - luckily it wasn't an expensive box of stuff, but still. The buyer and I worked out a quick resolution and life goes on. Se la vie'.

Looks like the mail man spilled his coke on it.

I hear you about rainstorms on delivery days....my biggest fear is having sets delivered and placed on the front porch during a rainstorm.

I had a wetish box as well, it was pouring like hell! The mailman wrapped it in a plastic bag for me

we have a regular mailbox on the porch, but we also have a huge plastic container up there too that the mailman puts stuff in during a rain storm

So many comments.....better to just say nothing

It wasn't raining that hard, there was just 3 feet of water in my street acting like a lake. With the snow from ealier it looked like the arctic, iceburgs floating around etc. I had my kid looking out the window for polar bears, luckily none were sighted.

I hate it at the post office when they ask if a bubble mailer is fragile, liquid or parashable, I say fragile but the guy still chucks the envelope into a bin 10 feet away.

What was inside? GPK's?

Just wondering out loud (in type), why did you and the buyer have to come to a quick resolution? Is either one of you in charge of the weather now? Or was it for insurance purposes? No harm intended, just curious

I mailed a $300 electronic device once, large and about 30 pounds - postal carrier on their end 'tossed it over the fence' in the backyard, where they found it after it quit raining two days later.

Their postmaster put it in a large, clear plastic bag (like a garbage bag) and mailed it back to me. Instead of a rectangular box, it now looked like a giant basketball.

My postmaster walked in, looked at the package, and said, "I'll go cut you a check".

Say what you will about the postal service, but I've never had problems with claims with them. The liars at UPS, however, are another story...
