Here's a question, say you have a large order, 11 books like the author of the thread, if u wanted too, can u contact USPS and tell them u want the order split up? Or do they do it their way and by their rules, when it comes to shipping?
Well, it's TOW and whoever you buy from who chooses the shipping format - not the USPS. That said, there is nothing to keep you from splitting your own order.

I do want to point out that I had another large shipment back in December that came through in great shape. I'd say about 60% of shipments have a least one dinged corner, but that may not be the fault of the USPS, it could go all the way back to Diamond. This time though - a square box nearly arrived round - so it's a delivery issue.

I will probably split my orders into smaller ones in the future. Having to re-ship this and return the damaged set just destroys the margin for the folks at TOW. I would imagine they would prefer smaller shipments in order to decrease risk anyway.

Also - I probably should have been careful with the title of this thread. I don't hate the USPS - just the moron that damaged the shipment. Lots of great folks on the job every day there at USPS.
