Sorry to hear about and see this. That was a really nice copy before. Hurts to see the before to after pics... Doesn't USPS have a free up to $50ish insurance on packages? Haven't shipped anything for a while but thought they had it and if it was over that value you paid for the insurance.
on priority. You have to jump through hoops to probably just get denied anyway.
When I got the claim yesterday I said to myself theres no f'ing way thats my game I sent him. then I saw the box...that used to be a nice sturdy rectangular box.
The way those box folds are diagonal, I'd say that it was definitely run over by something. The transfer of applied weight moving from one side to the other would show up that way, as opposed to being crushed uniformly by a vertical load.
I cringed...hard. Wow...makes me worry about USPS handling anything now...but you just never know what can happen to stuff...I've seen those videos of UPS people THROWING packages into the back of their truck...you have to put your trust into these people that they won't mess up your shit.
Variant? Its a classic series cart. They are all gray.
The gray classic series is less common than the original release, but strangely that is not reflected in the market value.. (Same with Punch-Out! Featuring Mr. Dream)
Exactly scott. Cost of doing business but my loss would be huge if I had to insure all these games. Even after this I'll still take my chances for the most part.
This time of year is brutal when it comes to shipping. Folks just don't care. Not that it was a minty game but I ordered a Thomas the train set from Kohl's and got it in and it was crushed and had a hole punched in it.
I like how you pay a parcel handler to get your stuff from point a to point b, but if they decide to run it over and destroy it, its not their fault. Imagine that in other aspects of life. You go to your bank to deposit your paycheck, but if it doesnt make it to your account, sucks to be you. You go to a restaurant, order food and pay for it, then they drop it on the floor and make your pick it up and eat it.

Sorry about your loss though man, RIP.
If it wasnt run over and instead jammed in a sort machine or something, i hope the machine broke.
A gray variant, too.

Get that one back and display it as a reminder of what the post office can do.
since its first class usps is not accountable. should have sprung for small FRB and got the $50 insurance payoff at least
roughly a $3 difference to possibly get $50 back. I shipped well over 5,000 packages first class this year I had one show up like that.
I'm sorry to hear about this stroke of piss poor luck. But hey it is a Nintendo product so chances are it still might work.
