Default Who or what delivered my wci??

man i was so excited cause everyone was talking about the new WCI was showing up in there mailboxes..so i heard the mailman drive up and shut the box and the adrenaline started pumping WOO HOO my new WCI had to be here. i hobbled out to the box grinning ear to ear just knowing this evening i could enjoy front to back woodcarving coverage several times...i opened the box....reached in .........WHAT?????.....shreds of plastic?? and PAPER?????...this can't be...i pulled the mangled carcass of my once glorious WCI out ....i had to turn away ,it was hideous ....it looked as thought a grizzly bear had sat on one end wiggling his butt and wrinkling it ,while he had the other end in his mouth chewing on it!!!! not to mention since he apparently chewed the plastic up he drooled on the mag and got it wet!!!! so the pages wrinkled even more!!.....i take great care of my books and mags my wife even knows when she moves them to make sure she doesn't mess them up....UGHHHHHH... guess it's to books -a-bunch i go to get me a decent copy cause i can't tolerate this one......could this be part of the reason our illustrious postal service is in the shape they are now??!!!

Contact WCI and request a new copy. I am sure they will send one, most magazines will replace damaged copies.
Then call your postmaster and register a complaint. The magazine may have been damaged in the sort process however it should have been delivered in an envelope explaining how or where it was damaged.
You should not have to go out and buy another.

It doesn't surprise me. The last order I received from WCI (books) was in a plastic bag (from USPS) because the packaging was half opened and ripped on one side...

Luckily, the books were ok.

Canadian Mail Service is knowned for damaging some packaging... but USPS Service is worst for sure.

If you think that was bad.... The post office hired cookie monster to deliver cookies to the national bake sale.... He hadn't had lunch yet!!!........ BTW, have you ever consider writing bed time stories for children??.....???? Or maybe christmas stories...?
