Kudos to PCGS for their packaging

I just received a fairly valuable package of graded coins back from PCGS. The outer box was clearly damaged in a way that made me conclude that it was done intentionally. It was broken open on the front at the right side from top to bottom. The opening was large enough to remove the entire inner package. Even the inner envelope looked like it might have been tampered with. However, because PCGS boxes are sturdy and because of the taping over the PCGS box, it was apparent that the contents were not tampered with. All coins were intact. So whether it was accidental damage or tampering, the packaging saved the day. Thank you, PCGS, and others that send secure, double wrapped or double boxed, packages, for the added safety. It's not perfect, but I think it saved this package!

The "PCGS box in a sealed postal envelope in a taped/sealed postal box" does me good
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
...now that's good news!
Just had a submission appear lost. After fifteen days the package arrived at the P.O. and looked like a bus ran over it, THEN a shark took a bite out of the package. But the bite was taped back on. The tire skids obscured the address and the bar code so they could only find the proper home after a postal inspector personal trace was put out. Probably got extra attention due to value.
Inside.... sparkling clean blue boxes inside a ruffled inner envelope.
Seems the roller/mover machines for these medium flat rate boxes need adjusting
