One of the realities of living overseas is that I had to stop buying small dollar comics. It simply wasn't economical with the much higher shipping rates. goldust40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The $75 usd I've paid up until recently wasn't too bad as it might be $2 per book but this last shipping charge has made me reevaluate what I buy and where I buy it.

Badger Posted August 24, 2023 Author Share Posted August 24, 2023 Well, still no sign of them. I've filed the lost package paperwork with Heritage; hopefully, they will refund my money. Even credit for future purchases would be ok. Larryw7, sagii, thehumantorch and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzetta Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Since I posted my email exchange with Scott I thought I should also give a shout out to Heritage as well. @Badger Heritage just called me believing it was my order that was lost in the mail, probably since I tagged the account in one of my posts to them. I directed them to you by naming the books that you posted and they should be in touch shortly. I hope it works out for you, but kudos to @HeritageComics for reaching out. Respect and thanks Scott.

I have them shipped to a shipping company so that they do not sit on my front porch for a few hours. Instead, Fedex just delivers them to some random business and cannot locate them. Just to be clear, not Heritage's fault. These are the golden age books that are missing and presumed stolen. If you see them listed please let me know. I will update this thread with the police report once I get it. Thanks for any help you can give! Sorry for your loss. This is why EVERYONE should have a doorbell camera. I once had a UPS driver put a package down not even ring the bell, sign for it WITH MY NAME, and then pick the package up and leave. When I contacted UPS they said "Well you signed for it, nothing we can do" I go... that's fine, do you enjoy being party to theft? Because I'm going to hang up the phone, go to my local PD with the video of your employee stealing my package and give them that along with your name and number so that you are charged with conspiracy to commit grand larceny. SHOCKINGLY, a manager picked right up and my package was miraculously "found" and couriered over to me that same day.... tth2, Badger, goldust40 and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My package was, at best, not delivered to the correct address and is now sitting in the backroom of some store in a strip mall, unopened and forgotten. At worst it was just straight up stolen. Doorbell camera would not have helped in this case. Anyhoo, Heritage just refunded my money so I'm out the comics but not out any moola. I would rather have the comics though.

The Black Hand ® Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Back when I was actively collecting I had a large PO Box. Even though our rural neighborhood had a security mailbox, it had leaky seals on the doors and often my mail would get wet and sometimes put into a neighbors box. At the time all our neighbors were old but honest and on a couple of occasions brought purchases of expensive books to my door when they were misdelivered. Eventually the older neighbors died off and the scum moved in so I decided to get a PO Box. That worked well since I had been picking a lot of books up at the PO that had to be signed for anyway. When I was completing a Top Notch run the last book I needed, a TN Laugh 39 went missing and never arrived. It took me a while to finally find one.

Great but it would be nice if they could find the books. You owned them for a reason. Edited August 27, 2023 by thehumantorch Badger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
