    What company was chosen as the delivery method for my collector's edition Shroud of the Avatar box that I have waited for all this time?

    Evidently they just drove by around 7 a.m. and just tossed it into the yard!!!

    Now my actual game box is all scratched, dirty and ripped.
    WTH?

    a lot of mail delivery personnel could give a crap about your stuff. just check out youtube vids of them from all over the world tossing **** around with out a care. its gotten to the point that if I have something fragile and expensive being delivered I take the day off and wait for them to watch the delivery.

    hehe sadly, it was the neighbor's kid that did that damage... the dog only looks that way because he let the kid in the yard again!

    Did you hear back from anyone at Port on this? I hope you PM'd or Emailed them on this. And yes, that so sucks!!!

    Uhg, that sucks. Last year I had a FedEx driver throw a $150 midi keyboard over a 6ft metal gate that landed right in a puddle. I had some angry words.

    Hope everything gets resolved. The most important thing besides the contents of the box is the box it's self when it comes to collecting.

    The edge on the outer cardboard box extends from an inch to half an inch on both sides, open it up and take some photos of the game box

    It doesn't really much what carrier you choose. I had a fair share of crappy experience from USPS, FedEx, UPS. Sometimes it comes down to which person is doing the delivery.

    I received a computer once with sticker all around the box saying it was breakable and believe it or not the box came at home and the panel on the side of the computer had a huge bump on it, the screw even broke. Total crap, the transport company paid back for 500$ of damage without even coming to check the box or ask for picture or anything. So yeah, portalarium has nothing to do in this. Also if ur dog was outside at that time, the guy probably didnt take the chance to deliver at mail box directly.

    You need to complain to your local courier company, not Port. They obviously couldn’t deliver it because of your dog. They should have left a card to call and not tossed it over the fence. Port can’t control who delivers locally.

    I don't think tossing that package on the ground would do that damage...

    That's not Ports fault.
    Even though Couriers are not very good these days, they are not in the habit of chewing parcels.


    ^^^^^^^^
    If this is true, then unfortunately your dog is the guilty party, not the kid next door or the Courier.

    P.S. I am a dog lover & own 2 dogs.
    I am sorry but the dog did that damage. Maybe you should have kept the dog inside since you knew this special parcel was coming?

    Any shots of the actual game box at hand? With cellophane wrapped around it, I wouldn't have expected the box to get dirty, unless that was pierced, too?

    Seems you've provided three images of the less interesting thing - the outer packaging - and none of the thing that's meant to be damaged...?

    He would never do something like that, just look at that cute face...

    Sorry for your loss, call the carrier, file for reimbursement... Hopefully there are extras for sale...

    You can have one of mine I have 2 and none of the stuff that comes with my pledge. If we are all @Jack SinAssist sorry dude I won'tbe going to Austin this SotACon. I can find some other way to give it to you. Maybe I can give it to @Cordelayne if he's going. If I am just being crazy Caska again and we are not really all Jack and you aren't somewhere stupidly far away from DC I'll try to get it to you.
    PS: I think the neighbor kid tried to frame your poor innocent dog!
