What Buck Do You Have on Order? Or in the Mail?

I found a 24 year old mint in box 501 for a fair price and the mailman has taken 7 days to move it an hour down the road from Dayton to Cincinnati.

I’m in Virginia, so I’ll post pictures for y’all by Thanksgiving. :)

The Squire is signed by CJ and his daughter Sarah.
 
Well an empty package arrived yesterday. It had been opened somewhere along the way. :mad::mad::(:( The kicker is, I had just received another vintage 112. Neither had a sheath, so I ordered two sheaths from Buck. They are in the mail now.

That's a bummer.
Do you think it was poorly packaged to begin with, or maybe intentionally opened?

I've gotten things that I'm surprised they arrived intact, but never opened and lost.
I read seller reviews, and if they don't know how to package and ship I don't buy from them.

Craig could teach a class on proper shipping!

It looks like it was intentionally opened. It was in a small plastic envelope. I don't know if the knife was wrapped in bubble-wrap. Started a return request.

Agreed on Craig's packaging!

"No box?" I ask as I shake my head......
Good grief.

I guess nowadays you have to inquire if the seller is going to ship the item in a box before making payment.

.......A plastic envelope. They should put it over their head.
Tightly.

My collection of patriotic Gent's should finally be complete if the knife I just won on Ebay arrives safe & sound.
I've already got the faded Glory, & the " Spirit of America " lady liberty , all I needed was this American eagle.

I don't normally have to cross my fingers, but I've had 2 Ebay purchases get lost in the mail this month.
