Turbo Grafx/PCE:

- Splatterhouse bootleg


Neo Geo MVS:

- Matrimelee
- Samurai Spirits Zero


The two MVS carts were shipped to me from Hong Kong. Good price on both titles together. The seller wrapped the cardboard box with paper. This packages seemed to take longer than normal. When it arrived yesterday, the box seemed to have a large dent... unusual. Upon opening the paper (paper was covered in clear packaging tape) I noticed the dent was a ripped portion of the box, than had been approximately placed back on it's original spot. There was also an envelope inside that featured the USPS symbol! The note, inside the envelope, read that my package had been found ripped open and "rifled". And that some contents may be missing. The general attitude in the letter was "We found your box like this, stuff may be missing, oh well, here's your stuff, you can call me here."

Everything was there. It appears someone ripped the paper off, slit the top of the cardboard box, then ripped a chunk of cardboard down the side of the box. Seems to me, that the package was ripped open in the US, not overseas. Though the letter may say otherwise, it also appears the USPS postal inspectors probably did the rifling.

Interesting stuff, never had USPS insert a note into a package of mine!
"Damnit, Beavis, put that away. You're not supposed to have your _____ out when you're cooking".

Wow, I've never seen a USPS note either. I suspect you're right: I bet the USPS inspected the package. They could have done it more tenderly, goddammmmit.

The only thing similar to this that I have encountered, was when a piece of mail arrived to me, in a USPS plastic bag, with a note reading the mail in the bag had been "damaged in a sorting machine, sorry".  It was nothign important, and 3/4 of the letter was still there.

I snapped a few pics of the box, below is a scan of the letter.

This letter has one date WAY off. It reads that they were informed about this item on June 30th. Not possible, as I only paid for these items July 18th.



Pics of the box, minus the paper wrapping which has been completely covered in packaging tape.

I received a note from the Post Office when they shredded a money order I was sending to someone.  They gave me back a teeny-tiny corner of the money order... the rest was unsalvageable.  Fortunately I was able to get my cash back on the M.O.  I will never send money orders through the mail again.  They shred stuff!  Pay your bills online if you can, as checks can get shredded as well and then your mortgage company or water plant or whoever will penalize you for non-payment!

Jeez, how does the post office come about shredding envelopes?

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

It can sometimes get caught in the sorting machines.  I once had a letter delivered by the USPS in a little plastic bag.  It was completely filthy (solid black) and had a little note that explained that it had been stuck in the sorter for months and sorry for the inconvenience.  Strangely enough, the machine didn't tear it open or even crumple it up; it just coated it in a thick layer of grime.  Lucky for me it was just junk mail.
