Reply to "Lionel Steam Engine Box Value... and USPS claims"

Yeah I specifically checked with the seller on the wrapping and he says it was in a box.  The seller acted like there was some confusion at the post office about removing it from the shipping box or something.  

What?  This makes NO sense at all.....and I'm not sure that I'm blaming the USPS.

Why would the Post Office take it out of an otherwise (allegedly) working box....to put it in one of their boxes....unless specifically instructed to do so by the Seller?

How is there confusion?  It simply should have transpired like this: "Here is a box of Berkshire that I have secured and made safe for shipment.  Please tell me how much this will cost to ship."  End of story.  Other than the cost, there should be no room for interpretation.....unless the Seller cheaped out and tried to use one of "their" boxes b/c it was cheaper.  Either way, shame on the seller.

That the Seller divulged "that there was some confusion" leads me to believe the seller knew he was sending you a poorly boxed item.  Seller is culpable, IMHO.
