UPS strikes again w/ missing game used item
Just had my first item come up missing during the shipping process. UPS apparently has a collector/thief of game used items who works either in the Bay Area or Secaucas, NJ where the shipping originated from.
The item in question was a game used Kevin Maas N.Y. Yankees bat that I bought from AJ Sports Collectibles. The empty shipping container was delivered with the plastic cap missing on one end and that end then re-taped. The Steiner letter was still inside the tube.
If anyone sees a Maas Yankees bat for sale anywhere please let me know so I can see if it is the missing one in question. Hopefully the refund process is not to much of a hassle.
Hope everyone has better luck this week with their items being delivered.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]www.alamedasportsproject.com

Sorry to hear your bad luck. Your story seems to be a trend. I thought I would post my favorite photoshop creation as comic relief.

Warren, thanks for the comedy relief! That is a great photoshop pic.
Their not to blame but I don't think it helps that these sports collectibles dealers put their store name on the address label. Just encourages five-finger discounters to want to open packages.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]www.alamedasportsproject.com

Joel,
Sorry to hear your misfortune! Did you end up getting the card back when you saw it for re-sale?

All items from the GUU auction are shipped by FedEx with an adult signature required upon delivery. Bats are shipped from San Diego, CA.

Re: UPS strikes again w/ missing game used item
I once had a limited edition Upper Deck Authenticated Michael Jordan Card #1 of 250 Autographed Card lost by UPS after it sold at a private auction (well before the days of eBay). The package was lost, and after an argument with UPS explaining that there is no replacement price for this one of a kind card that sold for around $1500.00 (back when MJ was hot) so the paid the full claim.
Then, about three months later, on SportsNet (aka CoinNet) I saw my card for sale. I called UPS to tell them I found the lost-stolen card. They were so interested, they didn't even call me to follow up. I guess once the pay a claim they don't care if the unique, stolen-lost item is found.

I totally agree, I dont understand why they dont add a weigh0-in check station at every point. If the weight is signifigantly off, then the package should be inspected.. at least this would show where they had a thief.
It is just a matter of time before buisnessess have to have fake addresses for shipping. I cant believe anything from any jewelry store makes it to delievery.
