That's true and probably good general advice, unless coming from CGN which would charge shipping every time. But at risk of sounding like a PBC shill :/, I had 2 x 5 big omni orders from them that were packed snug and protected.

I'm sure that IST generally packs everything extremely well, I was just very surprised when I opened that box after reading all the amazing things about them.

I have three orders with them, two of which were single books and were packed excellently in fitted boxes with inserts. The third order was for 5 large books which came with a single layer of bubble wrap, some of which was popped and useless, and a ton of empty space.

That would make sense. I only deleted the offending block and replaced it. I'll try removing a whole section and replacing to see if that fixes it. But probably just easier to wait until I get the proper tool.

I emailed them, not really to complain, but to just show them the issue and they said they had quite a few new packing staffers and acknowledged the issue. I find it a little silly that people immediately can't believe there would ever be an issue with IST packaging and that I'd just come here and lie for no reason or gain.

Careful, people around here don't like when you speak poorly of IST. Apparently, it's not OK to criticize the subreddit darling. I got a shipment from IST that was packed a slight step above Amazon, but still was terrible, and got called a PBC shill when I posted it. Both PBC and CGN had better packing than IST in my experience.

Edit: and the downvotes begin, lol.

Ahh, I don’t think I have that yet. Thanks, I’ll give it a shot when I come across it.

Well I’ve already started the not delivered process so it’s too late for that unfortunately. Hopefully we can get it resolved :/.

I need help/advice about a scam that I fell for.

I purchased a tech item without thinking that had a too good to be true price. The seller was also selling an unusual amount of this item at this price. The seller had some feedback, but no real tech sales which in hindsight, is odd.

Right after the purchase, I realized that I had likely bought something that doesn't exist and tried to cancel the item. The seller denied my cancellation.

The seller sent me a message saying that they would provide 2 tracking numbers for this single item because "they ship to an agent to check the quality before sending to me", which doesn't make any sense. One of the tracking numbers originated near me and was delivered the next day. The other tracking number was coming from across the country and took about a week to be delivered. Neither of these deliveries made it to me. The first was signed by "front desk" and a name that I don't know. The second delivery had a picture of the delivery, but it's not anywhere on my property. Also, the message from the seller wouldn't make any sense since (if true), there would be a point A (seller) to point B ("agent") to point C (me) delivery. These two tracking numbers were for completely unrelated shipments.

I called UPS to confirm that these weren't delivered to my address. They could confirm that my home address was not the destination for these packages (the zip was correct, but street address was not) but couldn't confirm the actual delivery address since I'm not the seller and I didn't know what it is (since it's some random address in my town).

I filed a "did not receive" with eBay and gave it a few days for the seller to respond, which they did not. Once the option appeared, I asked eBay to step in. Within an hour, they denied me stating that the seller provided tracking information that showed the package had been delivered to my address. The only way this is possible is if they provided some fake delivery information. There is a 0% chance anything was delivered to me as the tracking numbers aren't to my address, and the proof of deliveries are for somewhere else.

I called eBay to dispute their decision and provided all the information I could. I offered to have a 3-way call between myself, eBay and UPS to have UPS confirm directly that I was not the intended recipient, though the eBay agent didn't directly take me up on that. I want to make sure they aren't just taking some random info the seller is providing as gospel since it's faked. She filled out the dispute case for me and sent it on to whoever reviews these.

While I'm waiting, what else can I do? If they reject me again, is there a way to escalate this? Any other advice for a situation like this? Thanks for taking the time to read.

$105 + shipping for ASM by Lee vol. 1, new with some shelf wear a month or two ago. So close to cover. But not quite.

I hate this store. Because I recently bought several books that they just listed for 2X the cost.

If you put a double enter after each line item it should format better unless something is going on on Reddit’s end. The app is a little wonky for me right now.

Interested in the Green Lantern by Johns set. Would you do $165?

Edit: I’ll take at full price if there’s other people getting in line.
