Why Don't The Post Office Understand What 'fragile' Means

[Kjw]

Just arrived this morning with a bend in the packaging right across the wording -

 

'FRAGILE - DO NOT BEND'

Ditto Spanish Correos{post} ,Had 2Lps smashed in transit this year, Mucho packaging is the answer ask all sellers to use double "bend etc " is seen as an instruction!

Has the record been posted from overseas.

Just wondering if this happens mainly with airmail or does it also happen with records just posted from one UK address to another.

Came from USA - but I don't know if the damage happened over there or when it reached the UK postal system

Contact the seller, show him/her the photos and ask them to lodge a claim with the US post office. Then contact Paypal and try and get your money back. If it's a good seller you'll get your money back straight away. Good look

What beats me is how I can post something recorded delivery here, 2 weeks ago, and according to their website, they received it here for delivery, 2 weeks ago, but haven't got a f*cking clue where it is now..

The seller's been fine with it - has another copy which he's sending to me. I'm returning the original plus the packaging and he'll try his luck with the US post office.
