As title says, anyone ever receive a crazy or unique package feel free to share it!I will start with the package I got today!
I got one today with 123 stamps with 1 cent payed at the post office.
Stamps consist of some olympic, 50 states bicentennial era, and other stamp themes! Preety interesting way to pay postage! Probably clearing up extra stamps!
Someone from Japan shipped me a card in an envelope, not protected by a top loader, or any of the usual protection…the seller used TWO BLOCKS OF WOOD WITH TWO SCREWS DRIVEN ON TOP AND BOTTOM to secure the card. Card came intact!
Recived a reverse crystal crobat which came inside an iphone box and within the box it was in a weird sleeve thing that was obviously the wrong size and looked like it was cut out of a binder . I had to carefully cut the card out of the sleeve as it could not be pulled out. In the end the card was still in mint condition though.
Dang, sorry to hear it didn’t even have a sleeve. I bought a gold star Espeon once and it came in a CD- which ended up giving it a dent. Seller was very, very, very unhappy to deal with me after that.
Received a £35 card inside a half ripped directory book thrown into a large A4 envelope. Luckily the card wasn’t damaged and it came out very flat. I was very confused when I received it since it was quite large and bulky for just one card and I definitely didn’t order a book that week.
I once bought a bulk lot of cards off eBay (it was only like $20 thank god) and they arrived in a plastic satchel … loose. Whatever box they had been in the seller literally tipped the cards into the satchel and mailed it just like that lol. I pretty much emptied that satchel into the bin.
I purchased a Charizard lot from ebay seller for $180ish AUD a few years back
it contained a Shadowless Zard, Shining Zard, 1st ed Blaines Zard, and a few others, it was a bargain at the time
they arrived loose and unsleeved in a padded bag with no protection, miraculously they arrived in one piece
I once ordered a few cards from a seller, and received them (sleeved and with top-loaders fortunately) in an Magnum Ice Cream box. I later ordered from that same seller again, and this time the cards came in a shoe box. Looks like the seller loves to recycle every box he can.
I also once received a box with loads of post stamps like you. Not as much as in your picture, but about halve of that amount (which is still a lot).
A few months back I purchased my PSA 9 shadowless Charizard. The guy threw the card in a oversized box with no packing material. You could shake the box and the card was rattling all over hell in there!! Card was as described.
Believe it or not I left him good feedback because the card was fine. I really lowballed him on the card. I paid 1450 when they were selling for 2200+ back then. He was asking 2000 to start with. But still he was a lazy POS for shipping the card like that lol
I received a sealed green wing base booster box, at least it was sealed when it left the US until it got to UK customs who decided to open it and one of the packs.
Well there were three other sealed boxes within the package. I told the seller and he actually gave me a partial refund, which he didn’t have to do at all. I think he was scared I would make a claim or something, not that I intended to or hinted at. They became a part of my sealed pack collection…
