I swear cardboard boxes must be getting less durable or the machines they are using in sorting have decided they hate packages now because every box looks like it has been sat on.

One of the times a seller put a ceramic piece in a box with no packing, the box comes (looking sat on) and amazingly the piece was not damaged at all.

I'm not sure if anyone here has ever filed a claim with the postal service, but it is actually really easy. I ordered something and the seller required 2-day USPS shipping, it took over a week to arrive from shipment and the box was squashed again (contents were fine). I was more pissed at how long it took so I sent a claim in and they paid the shipping cost.

I don't know if they have been forced to change how mail is routed but it seems like everything is taking longer than it used to for delivery. In the past I send a box out to someone in NorCal and it will be there the next day, now it takes at least two.
