You're never going to believe this

man, your lucky, the dio wasn't damaged and broke after all that.

Dude, I would go f^^^^^^ ballistic!

Is that really how Sideshow sends their stuff?!? It's just in a flimsy cardboard box. I usually order from Big Bad Toy Store who are superb when it comes to wrapping stuff up for shipping. But I ordered Kane and Dallas through SS as it may get to me quicker - but this is making me nervous.

 

[Cryoguns]

I'm wondering if it was left at my house and someone stole it off my front porch and then felt guilty and just left it by the mailboxes.

Or if it was delivered to someone else.

I've always worried about some of my neighborhood kids doing that...but no packages have turned up missing so far.

 

[creature4000]

I wish SS would mail stuff in boxes that didn't have the contents printed on the outside.

I agree 100% with this!!!

Nothing scares me more then stuff being dropped of at the wrong house or something.

I try to be home when I'm expecting a PF or something for this reason.

 

[Moonloop]

I swear, Sideshow in the customers regard is stupid for saying the name of the product on the outside of the box.

if im correct sideshow requires signature on all their products over $100, so how is it that it was just left there. yur biggest problem is that u have a community mailbox, so anyone could take it. i live in a house and my ups guys always require a sig, so u should check 2 c if someone signed for it.

damn that sucks man. Did you tell the guy about it you picked it up from when he seen it and took it in.
Maybe he seen someone near it or something.
The crappy thing is without any proof a certain person did it theres no way to blame anyone properly. I hope you get it resolved somehow man !.
Good luck.

I'm not worried that it was my neighbor that finally held the package for me, we're firends and he helps me out a lot. and the person that he got it from just found it sitting outside one of those grouped community mailboxes where anyone could have taken it. It was sort of funny though, my next door neighbor that had it said, "Hey Scott, I have something for you, looks like some sort of game or something." I finally explained that it is a collectible statue and the current condition of the box seriously detracts from any value the thing had.

This was a deal from a board member, not from SS. I was so happy to finally score one as I got in very late on this, and then this happened.


Now that my dogs are good (I dislike vets, they nickel and dime you for everything, $170 vet bill) I'm going to take some time to look at this more closely.

Or stolen...That sucks!!! I can't believe you found it that way. Like everyone else said, I guess it's good that the actual dio wasn't damaged but that sucks about the box...

I once ordered a very hard to find ToyBiz LOTR figure from an outfit in Italy. I got it there because I ended up paying only a few dollars more for it than retail, shipped from Italy. It was the American card and in perfect condition.

When I got the item, customes had cut it open to inspect it...and their blade went all that way through the bubble-wrap and the blister on the card.

Where did the item come from, could it have been customs?

 

[azurepred]

oh.......got ya, but still i would think a signature would have been required, especially if it is insured

I ve thought this for years....thought I was alone.

Do you guys get the EU folded invoice treatment as well???When the parcel arrives,not only is your name and address visible,so is your home telephone number AND your mobile number!!!

REALLY bugs the Hell out of me especially these days when ID theft is at the forefront of everyones mind.

To be so cavalier over such high-ticket items really is nt good enough.

Nope, just from CA to AZ. But I had the same thing happen. I traded some Dead for an LOTR Aragorn figure from a board member from Mexico and customs used an exacto knife to slice the box. Completely cut off Aragorn Box folded flap.

Would it be too paranoid to knock on a couple of my neighbors door and ask if they saw anything? Some of them have some kids that go to school, so it wouldn't surprise me too much if it was one of them. Without throwing any accusations around, say I'm going to report it to the post office (which I'm goign to do) and if necessary get police involved since something of mine was stolen (which I wouldn't really call the police over this).

I have a couple Marvel PFs coming my way and now you're scaring the heck out of me! When my Buffy PF came, the delivery man dropped it off at the front door, no signature or anything. Luckily, I had just missed the door bell and found the box by the front door and the delivery truck driving off. For items that cost that much, you would think a signature would be required.

 

[Vader AL]

dang man....you're lucky to even have it. i'd be ticked too.

fedex shipped my Hulk PF(came from Canada) to the wrong house about 5 miles from my house...luckily they were honest about it and called Woodsy(thank again bud) in Canada which is where it shipped from and then Woodsy called me. I'm lucky to have my Hulk...needless to say I told SS to not use FedEx.

I bet it was the postman, or somebody passing by.

 

[jml969]

Anything like this happen to you in the past? Thank God nothings broken or stolen

I would definately report it to the post office and tell them that it was insured. Tampering with other's mail is against the law. If it doesn't have your name on it, you don't open it. Good luck!
