PSA: Don't have complete confidence in USPS.
« on: Tue, 14 August 2012, 10:36:33 »
Please use delivery confirmation when mailing out goods that are rare/have value to the buyer or seller, it provides assurance for both parties that the product was shipped and/or the product was received. It is hard to replace items that are not easy to come by, and USPS is notorious for losing packages. Even if the failure rate is .01%, that means in 1000 packages at least 1 is lost. Delivery confirmation is only .80 cents to 2 USD, and is even free when you ship online. I've lost a couple packages, but luckily the seller was willing to replace the goods given their lower value; but that is not always the case. Packaging the product well is always a plus, plastic bag and envelope is never enough for a single keycap. That is all.

Then there's that novelty key group buy that Tsangan ran, where they marked it as delivered, but I sure as hell never got it.

If you buy postage online with USPS, it's cheaper and if comes with free delivery confirmation/tracking

DC, insure and pad well. not even the well-loved priority boxes are immune from the usps' package breaking machine.

Padding isn't stressed enough, I traded a CC with someone (not gonna drop names) and they only used a plastic bag with a regular enveloped, the CC was mangled, and chopped up...what a waste of a piece of art.
