OT- Well, it finally happened to me..

Today I get this returned to me in the mail with no card in it..





This thing is just completely destroyed! It looks like a viscous dog got a hold of it or something.

Obviously it was a low end card, I have a refund and an apology to give out.

DAMN YOU POST OFFICE! :evil:

Why would you even attempt to send in a PWE......and I see that it cost .84 cents....bubble mailer with one card in it should be about .62......

That doesnt make much sense.


TK

That's the risk you take using PWE's. That's why I never use em, even for free s&h

sorry about your luck quinn - that really looks destroyed

Good thing just about everyone on FCB can vouch for ya!

Wow I wish I lived on your planet, or in your country, or whatever...

Yah, seriously. It really cracks me up when people state they can still mail their bubble mailers for .62.

The minimum price is $1.17! If you are mailing your bubble mailers for .62, you are making your customers pay .55 when they get the package from you.

100% FALSE---it depends on what the thickness of the bubble mailers you are using are. I send out Hundreds of bubble mailers a month at .62 cents each with a meter sticker from a postage employee and have had ZERO come back or get charged incorrect postage.

You guys need to be aware that the bubble mailers bought at wally world etc., are almost double the thickness of bubble mailers that can be bought in bulk from E-Supply outlets that design bubble mailers specifically for curtailing shipping costs.

Maybe research some other brands before you try and call me out on my statements.

That's what you get for using a PWE. By now, most everyone should know better.

look what i just saw on the COMC site!

I agree. I send out a bunch of bubble mailers that are small at that price. Never got one returned to me, and I never got one complaint.

It's my fault that the post office wrongly handled my package? I know it is a risk and a possibility that it will get damaged, but, "That's what you get for using a PWE."

Statements like that really baffle me..

Yes, my opinion is that it is your fault. I am sure you are well aware of the horror stories that occur when using PWE's. You tried to beat the odds and failed. Anyone knows what will happen more times than not when using a PWE. Why even try? It's just not worth it, even for a low end deal. Making sure the item is packaged securely and safely is the sellers responsibility. A PWE is not safe and certainly not secure.

It's great to see that you take responsibility in offering a refund. Not saying you wouldn't have, you have a good rep. That's not the issue. The issue is we ALL know what will happen with a PWE. Using one is just asking for damage and loss.

No way around it.

I respect you as a board member and we have done deals and never had issues, but what baffles me is how, after all the countless posts about PWE, and knowing that the envelope the way you sent it has to go through countless machines, would you even consdier sending a card that way....Even a 88 Topps Common-----bottom line, it is your fault because the post office has seperate charges for NON-MACHINEABLE items such as a PWE with a baseball card in a toploader.....which is even less than what it would cost to put 2 stamps on it.....

I think the correct message here is that you are sorry and it happened to you because you got lazy and didnt want to go to a post office and pay for a .58 cent stamp and have it stamped as Non-Machineable and hand canceled on the spot.....


JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS---
1) In the right bubble mailer shipping 1 card is in fact .62 cents....will gladly let everyone in on where I buy my bubble mailers from.

2) If you must use a PWE for some reason, at least go and get it hand canceled and marked non-machineable for .58 cents so it doesnt go through the machines.......

pete and tk - i do appreciate your opinions and input, but we definitely see things differently on this subject.
