good ol post office rant

[bassinbob]

I buy and sell sport cards on ebay. All are sent through the mail. In the last two weeks they (post office) have been pretty shoddy. Mailed out one card two weeks ago and it finally arrived today. Two weeks ago I got a card and the envelope was water soaked. Today one came with a big gash in the envelope. Thank goodness the first one was protected pretty good by the sender. The second cad is a graded card in a heavy plastic case and it has a big gash in the plastic case. The first one no problem but the second one with the gash is unsaleable unless I take it out of the plastic case. Because it is graded I would have to get it regraded.
I have to go tomorrow and file a grievance with the PO. I doubt if it would do any good. I want to sell some rods but I am worried they would get damaged in transit. I haven't had any trouble with the reels I've sold.
OK rant over.
