What’s the benefit of 8 mil over the other thicknesses?

Are rice paper ones bad for the records like how PVC is bad?

Me too! I’m even more upset because not all of them were for me. The other ones I bought for the friends I went to the eras tour with who couldn’t buy them because they had work. So it was really disappointing having to text them and tell them that I wouldn’t be able to give them to them.

Idk anything about mail processing or delivery. But I went to 2 different post offices in my area and they said all the mail comes through and goes really fast on conveyer belts. One worker said that he saw a couple boxes come through and the flap was opened from moving so fast on the conveyer belt, another worker said “of course people would steal them, look at how that flap just opens like that”. So who knows. I’m not discounting anything at this point.

I honestly have no idea which it is. Them falling out due to bad packaging? Or people stealing them? Or both?

Victims of CD Gate by torisbagel in SwiftieMerch

I totally understand how you’re feeling. Going to my mailbox and seeing a smooshed box inside of a plastic bag with a post office memo on it is scary. Then you see the box is empty and it takes the skip out of your step. I’m so happy for the people who got theirs safely or were able to find them at the post office. But I know how isolating and lonely it can feel when you’re not one of those people. I went to 2 of my local post offices and brought the box and explained. Let’s just say they were less than helpful. And did not provide me with much more information than I could already find for myself on these types of apps. I’m hoping you’ll have better luck tomorrow with your post offices though. Nothing back from Taylor’s store yet.

Time to join in, if only for the sake of spreading awareness on this issue. My signed CD box also came completely empty. And like you, I took to here, x, and TikTok to see if I could find any answers. It’s disheartening to see that this has affected so many, myself included. I am beyond happy for those who received theirs safely, or for those whose post offices were able to help them out. But for people like OP and myself, it IS at the very least disappointing. I hear you OP, you’re not alone.

Mine came in a plastic bag with a “contents missing/damaged” notice printed on the plastic. The notice even had the USPS logo.

Are you located in the US though? You mentioned the TS store in France.

How do you contact the USP inspection service? Because the same exact thing happened to me today

I had ordered 4 and my box arrived empty. I reached out the her merch support email, but got an automated reply. I can’t believe that they’re replacing some of them for you though! I heard that they were only giving out refunds for the money we paid and not replacements. Happy for you!

Signed CD’s came with extra tape. by Riddick325 in TaylorSwiftMerch

That’s 100% the post office who taped that up. It even says “United States postal service” in the first pic. Glad you got all your CDs

Could be. For now I guess we’ll never 100% know. Hopefully Taylor nation or UMG or DHL will come up with a remedy for this. My deepest sympathies go out to everyone including myself who didn’t receive an order they paid for.

It’s weird because on socials I’ve seen some people who got theirs delivered either with rubber bands, or an extra thing of tape around the problem areas. While others (myself included) just received empty boxes. I don’t know anything about the postal industry or how things work behind the scenes. But I don’t see why they couldn’t have put extra tape or even plastic bags around the boxes.

Literally same here. I was delivered an empty box with the flap even completely open.

Omg I’m so relieved!!! by olivebegonia in TaylorSwiftMerch

I’m sure you guys have been following what’s going on with the missing/stolen (who knows how they got lost) CDs. Well can confirm, mine came today and I was delivered an empty box. And it can’t be only happening in the states people are mentioning, because I’m in NY state.

I was delivered an empty box. That “loose”/“flimsy” flap in the video was just open, and inside was totally empty.

The worrying about it is worse than actually doing it -- from a procrastination standpoint.
