Beware: Nintendo Wii stolen while with United States Postal Service |
Ó
Here's something you certainly don't want to happen to you, especially during this time of the year. Kathy Green, a woman from Columbus, Georgia, had her Nintendo Wii console stolen while it was under the care of the United States Postal Service (USPS).According to the report, Green was able to find the console on eBay. When the packaged arrived, however, she noticed that the box was torn open and that the Wii is already missing.
“It looks like someone ripped it backwards,” commented the customer. Post office officials, on the other hand, said that while they were sure that the package's weight was heavier at some point, they cannot ascertain when and where the problem happened. USPS Customer Service Manager Michael Matthews shared:
ItÂ’s hard to tell where in the system it got opened up or where it actually happened. Package your articles correctly, make sure theyÂ’re secure, be sure that you have an address on the inside of the package as well as the outside of the package.
Since Green had the package insured, she will be sure to receive a reimbursement for her money. Bot the problem is that local post offices only automatically refunds damaged and stolen goods if the price is under US$ 50. Anything more than that and a process with a corporate office must be initiated which will take about one whole month.

And the moral of the story? Dont buy anything from ebay over the value of £20.
But yeah Gazz that sounds like good advice. Everyone justs wants a wii....
Everyone you say?
Oh yeah....I bet YOU dont want one Mr sense....the wiis are filled with awesome light hearted fun...the other two are filld with nuttin but violent Ima gonna hack u and shot u games....so i think its awesome that they sell so well....i wish people wouldnt get so crazy around the holidays though....But then again they just want to get things for friends and familiy.....
I wonder how obvious the packaging was? I wonder if this could have been prevented by placing the Wii inside a bigger more "inconspicuous" box.
The Wii has many violent games like the others, they're just done too poorly to be interesting. Take Manhunt 2 for instance.
Somebody just did her a favor. It's ok MCS...lighthearted fun is overrated. Hacking and killing is where it's at.
When I read this article, the first thought that came to my mind was "How the hell did they know it was a Wii inside the package?"
The Wii seller probably scammed them and blamed it on the postal service. That's ebay for ya! Why are these things still selling for over $400?????? Anyone?????
My friend stole a PS3 360 before he quite and the way he knew that it was a console was that the people have to write what the item is in the box and some people just send in the original packaging
i mean quit not quite
something i don't know why i'm husbend Mister Common Sense you don't care about people who got there hearts broken
jrm125 u mus be craza there are WAY to many Hack um up shoot um ups out there! Its hackin and killin thats way overrated but im not sayin i dont appreciate the halos and hack ums every once and a while.........but there are way too many.....
Dude that's BS! I send stuff USPS all the time and you DON'T have to list what is inside. The only time you have to describe is when you sent internationally. And even then, you can just put "Video Game" to make it as vague as possible.
ok if you say console how does that make a difference people wont care if it is a Wii PS3 or 360 or what ever
