    USPS sent my record to a whole different state- WTF??
    They blamed it on the machine that does the sorting.
    They said I will have it by tomorrow. not gonna hold my breath.

    I just got a soggy and creased poster tube in the mail today from 10C.

    And of course, mail innovations doesn't offer the automatic $50 insurance like regular USPS priority packages do.

    Posters sold as is, no returns too... so that just fucking sucks. :(

    Your package is sure to do some sightseeing via Mail Innovations. Maybe even fly over your house twice before actually getting there.

    To add to the USPS incompetence, I bought a copy of Deftones Adrenaline on pink vinyl from ebay. It shipped 12/10. No tracking updates since 6am Sunday. Been sitting in Bell Gardens, CA for 4 days. Fucker better get here before Xmas and better not be crushed to bits!

    How horrible :disappointed:

    When I send vinyl in the mail, I always write Fragile on it too. But I also add "Please do not bend. Thank you very much" orsometimes "Vinyl record inside, please do not bend, thank you" in hopes that people will be gentle because I said thank you... And even if it doesn't say fragile or breakable or whatever. Why would you bend something that does not feel bendable to the point where you can hear a crack?! Especially when you are a mail person. And for chrissake, the shape of a record mailer does not really leave a lot of room to the imagination as to what is in it, doesn't it? If people deliberately destroy stuff like that, they are just plain dick heads. The worst with things like that is not just that now you have all the hassle with the insurance but you also have to locate another copy for a good price. This whole situation just sucks. I hope you get it resolved.

    I'll raise HELL Logan if it's lost or bent. Records aren't soccer balls meant to bend like beckham.
