The post office has delivered the last 10 issues in terrible condition ... Usually with the cover shredded. Got one apology, with my magazine in a bag to contain all the pieces. Anyone have any recommendations on how to stop this?
WTB... errors, New Orleans gold, and circulated 20th key date coins!

Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

Yes. Change to the online version of the subscription. That what I have done. I still get the monthly magazine with values, but that's always in a "plain, brown (OK, blue) wrapper" and in good shape.

I bought a jumbo mailbox so they wouldn't do this, but they fold the mail at the PO so it's too late when it gets to the box.

That would make me incredibly nervous. I guess it's the paranoid stacker in me, but outside of coin shows I don't want anyone to know I collect coins (especially people who know my daily habits).
...i promise, just as soon as the next stamp hike is implemented, all the incompetence at the PO will disappear.

This is true and I am normally a bit paranoid as well. He has asked if I collect coins and I said I did when I was younger but my father still collects and I like to keep up on the hobby. Everything coin related goes to my PO Box now.
If you are into archiving them, the extra packaging might be worth it. But, I skim mine and put them into the waiting room. There needs to be something out there for the husbands....
I said I would be calling every week. She says "That's what we want you to do".
I guess it's cheaper for them to send a second copy than wrap the magazine in the first place?
