USPS Philatelic Catalog

Got the new catalog in the mail today with my stamp order. very very nice

For some reason they don't mail them to me anymore and I had been making steady orders.

I've been getting 'em regularly for years. I'll have to check my PO Box.

sdtom: When you reviewed your stamp order, did it include any plastic shrink wrap items & did you notice any 'slash' type cuts in the wrap material (which may or may not have) penetrated thru to the item sent?

I just received a number of items from the Fulfillment Center and several of the items in the shrink wrapper had what appeared to be mechanical slashes but the enclosures were not damaged.

I received an order a couple of days ago. It was 5 panes total. A couple of the panes had undulating creases in them, sort of like you get when a piece of paper goes through a copier slightly askew. The damaged panes were certainly not collectible. Fortunately, most of the order was for household postage.

Trainwreck: The 'slashes' on the pieces I received appear to be like a mechanical scratch/slash of the wrapper material which fortunately did not penetrate to damage the product. There were some evenly spaced pin-like parallel markings as if on a carrier/conveyor belt. Never had an issue with material received damaged but it appears that there is something amiss in the shipping department's automation system of the Fulfillment Center.

Eligies, if it is like other periodicals shipped in plastic it is not done by the fullfillment center but by the printer that prints these things. It is usually a commercial printer that handles this,

Peter: Not referencing the USPS catalog, which is sent out by the Fulfillment Center, but the packaging the Center uses for items. I am going to try & set up some examples for comparison but now busy getting the homestead 'storm ready' for the 3rd time in 15 days. (expecting 12+ inches in over the next 36 hours)

sdtom: sorry for hi-jacking the post, but I was trying to see if there were any other Fulfillment orders with product packaging with similar damage to what I received.

no damage at all

Got mine but not ordering anything just now.

sdtom: thanks for the info... I also received a Philatelic the other day which was really clean & pristine, no curls, bends, creases, or any tearing damage. Had to be unique to a belt device out of adjustment used during the order collection.

I have had a problem in the past and they made good on it although it was a bit of a hassle to return it to them.
