My OC arrived last Friday, I hadn't bothered to check the tracking since it shipped but it did seem to take an unusually long time for a HDZ shipment (22 days in total
). I didn't even notice until after I opened the package, that it had in fact already been opened by customs!
The tape on the foam block had been cut open and the OC Box inside unsealed
First of all I just thought HDZ had sent me an unsealed Box lol, but it was then I noticed the different Chinese tape across the bottom of the box where it had already been opened/resealed (says
"China postal express & logistics" on it). I also found crumpled up shrink wrap and gold label sticker in the bottom of the box
I thought if customs had been at it they'd make it more obvious and say put a sticker on the box to show it had been opened/inspected or something, but looking at the tracking now it did stop for around 2 weeks and states "security return" and "exported directly sealed" ??
Fortunately everything seems fine though, with only a small amount of scuffing to the bottom of the Box Lenti, which I can live with and may well have been there prior to opening anyway. The editions inside are still sealed too, but damn, what a collector's nightmare!
OCD keep-sealers would be beside themselves lol (
@djjez83 @TheCollector86 ). Luckily I planned on opening it anyway but I obviously prefer to open stuff myself
The almost 5 years I've been collecting I've never experienced anything like this.
