Yeah That's Right...MISSING
I traded with a dood from England, some old skateboarding stickers for an old Powell Tailbone tailskid for my new setup. Well, when the package arrived yesterday the end was shredded. Unfortunately, the contents were not held down within the package and was left to flaot around in it...and the darn thing must've slipped out the torn end.

Ugh!

I Emailed the dood, and he said he'll do his best at replacing it. They don't make them anymore and his was used, so he may have a hard time finding a new one.

Double Ugh!

That sucks!
And if it didn't, I'd make a smart a$$ remark about the package being ripped but that would be so wrong now...

No Turd...He Thinks Customs Was Looking For Drugs
The item was used (scraped up) and it was not insured. Unfortunately it was in a paper package of material much like a paper grocery bag.

The dood owns a skateboard shop in England and said he's got access to a stock of them and will get me a new one (they quit making them >10 years ago).

I did mention to him that when sending items that "float" within the package, that they should be taped to a piece of cardboard so as not to float and couldn't fall out if the package becomes ripped.

Did it arrive in a "plain brown envelope" with only your name and address on it? Maybe the postal guys got curious and horny.
