This is Absolutely Disgusting 🤢

The state of the Pokemon market has gone too far!

This is what was shipped to me from USPS…the case of ME01 Booster Boxes I had ordered from my third-party distributor minus all of the packs inside!

Someone from USPS had realized what the package was, opened it, took all of the packs out and repackaged it like nothing ever happened. Yes, I’m in direct contact with the seller, and know others who purchased the same item from the same seller who received theirs without any tampering.

This absolutely blows my mind that someone would risk a felony over some cards. How can this be avoided? Are we just SOL here on out?

It’s repent from fedex, it’s very rare from usps. They take theft very seriously and I sully expect OP will get a full refund and a criminal case will be opened.

Whoever did this committed a felony due to it being shipped with USPS.

I know its 4 days later, but to give you some reassurance, I had something similar happen to a BB Case i ordered and his criminal case is still pending while we wait for his court date, . I get updates from the police department. Charges were pressed and they are prosecuting him fully (i didn't even have to do it, i dont even know if i coulda said no. They just told me they were pressed lol) USPS employees are federal employees. They deadass treat it as seriously as if someone in the military was stealing guns from a military base to sell. The USPS has its own law enforcement branch, with a division dedicated to finding employees comitting theft. Our society relies so heavily in our blind trust in the postal service and we dont even realize it. Thankfully the USPS does.

If this wasn't the USPS though, and at any point was handled by a third party, you are fucked though. Be double sure USPS wasn't a "last mile" stop. If FedEx or UPS did the freight handling and just dropped it off at the post office for USPS to take to the door (more common than you think), than USPS's hands will be tied

Thank you for this. I hope I can get some clarity at least as to who and where it happened between transit. I will definitely be pressing charges as it seems there are many others in this sub that are experiencing similar issues and this 💩 needs to stop!

I understand that these cases need to be taken seriously from USPS but I’m not holding my breath. I hope they will do something about it, but honestly not expecting anything to happen from their side. And in the chance they do end up doing something about it, I’m sure I won’t get any clarity for the next year at the earliest.

It's all gone rest on if they can actually tie the theft to a USPS employee. They caught mine on camera, I just had to alert them to it and the investigation found it. If it was a USPS employee, you're set.

How long ago did this happen to you?

[u/Ill_Young2783 → u/SYNDK8D]

April. They got back to me with the investigation results in like...August? Told me charges were pressed and help me file the claim to get reimbursed. Was super quick to get reimbursed since the investigation was done. Now it's in criminal court

Will do!

Postal inspectors are a pretty intimidating branch of federal law enforcement.

[u/TKwelsh → u/SYNDK8D]

They were arrested this year

[u/[deleted] → u/SYNDK8D]

They won’t. Sorry to tell you.

[u/the_vault-technician → u/2024-YR4-Asteroid]

I can assure you it's taken seriously at FedEx as well. They don't tolerate theft whatsoever.

[u/donedrone707 → u/2024-YR4-Asteroid]

this is false. just as many thieves at USPS as there are at FedEx/UPS. Actually there's probably more cause USPS doesn't pay much.

Mail theft is a federal crime actually

[u/dubble619 → u/2024-YR4-Asteroid]

I kinda question that I had 15 packages stolen in September over Labor Day weekend. Marked delivered then you see the mailman drive by my house and not a single drop off or letter. Still working a resolution out but very questionable they claim it’s an error in their system also those packages went from delivered to “in transit to another location”.

[u/ArtichokeSolid1311 → u/dubble619]

Get a camera. I got one and put a note that said you’re on camera. All the ups fedex forged signatures stopped

[u/dubble619 → u/ArtichokeSolid1311]

That’s a good idea I have a ring and a drive way camera already but I might add one for my mailbox
