USPS Pam Bolesta Pack of thieves @ USPS in Fort Collins Fort Collins, Colorado
On Feb. 13 a package was left on my doorstep. This package had been cut open and the contents had been stolen. Who did this? One of the thieves at the Fort Collins, Co USPs sort facility did this! The worst part was that the mail carrier knowingly put an opened, emptied package at my door. They knew that someone at USPS had stolen the contents of the package and they still left the battered, pilfered box at my door. The box had two "We Care" stickers attached to it by the liars @ USPS Fort Collins! What unbridled arrogance! What kind of low-lifes have we entrusted out mail system to? I tried talking to one of the supervisors, Denise, at the sort facility in Fort Collins and now she wants me to bring the box in so that she can see it but it can't be tomorrow. She's off tomorrow so I have to opena slot in my schedule to take the package down so that she can come up with lame excuses and misdirections, if' she's there a all! The package was already unmistakably ransacked when it was dropped at my door. We need to replace these people NOW They are unabashedly proud of their complete lack of integrity or honesty. Why are we putting up with this? There is a lawyer in Denver whose whole practice seems to consist of getting postal employees off when they're caught stealing. We can do better than this!

I too believe that the FORT COLLINS POST OFFICE ARE A BUNCH OF THIEVES AS WELL. They have stolen 2 packages of mine within the last 4MONTHS!! And when you go there to complain or see what has happened they do not care!!! Or just claim "it IS lost and there is nothing we can do about it". In particular the GUY in charge of placing the packages in the PO BOXES. HE IS A TOTAL JERK AND HAS NO UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT CUSTOMER SERVICE MEANS!!! I pay to have a PO BOX AND FOR MY PACKAGES TO BE STOLEN IS BEYOND WRONG!! after my 6 months is up I will never pay for PO box again at THE FORT COLLINS POST OFFICE ON BOARDWALK!! If I wanted my packages to be stolen I would have just had them delivered to my doorstep out in the open where everyone can see them. Actually, IM PRETTY SURE IF I HAVE THEM DELIVERED TO MY HOUSE I'LL BE MORE LIKELY TO GET THEM, BECAUSE YOU CANNOT TRUST THE LOW LIFES WORKING AT THE FORT COLLINS POST OFFICE!! AND IF ANYONE WANTS TO REBUTT MY POST WHO HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE POST OFFICE. THEN YOU TOO ARE A LOW LIFE!!

"On Feb. 13 a package was left on my doorstep. This package had been cut open and the contents had been stolen."
It shows definite signs of being crushed somewhere in shipment.
How DO you know the Ft Collins P.O. did this?
Jump to conclusions much?

Though this OP has it all figured out, he never once explained how no other possibility other than USPS could have caused the damage. The Fort Collins sorting location damaged and stole the contents? Could this not have occured at any one of the several facilities this package had passed through?
The neat photos the OP so kindly provided shows much more wear and tear to the box than would result from a 'thief' randomly tearing this particular box open to nab the unknown precious contents. The picture shows a "ransacked" box that appears to have had insufficient packaging to prevent the box from compressing. (Perhaps the OP could better understand the word 'squishing'.) Any air space in a box will cause corrugate breakdown in normal commercial handling for all shipping corporations. Improperly packaged boxes break down proportionately as the weight increases. Lower grades of corrugate also break down much faster. The OP made no mention whether this box was a 32ECT or an industry requirement (for claim approval) of a 200ECT.
Unfortunately, no one box is lovingly placed with white gloves on a pillow in the back seat of it's own private vehicle and delivered direct to it's destination. Thus, industry standards for proper packaging. Before studying up on all the proper packaging mumbo-jumbo guidelines found in all carrier websites, most times one can determine if a package is packed properly by asking one simple question: 'Can it safely handle a thirty inch drop.' All carriers require that drop height which, by no coincidence, is the height of a conveyor or average distance from a humans hands to the ground. If no shipping company, including USPS, had these guidelines, damage claims would run rampant and shipping costs would skyrocket, not to mention fraudulent claims would be made simple.
Everyone knows that if you work for a company that makes you wear gray, white and blue, or brown uniforms, that you are some kind of mischievious sub-human that smashes and steals packages. The word should be put out to save the souls of our friends, brothers and sisters, and sons and daughters to not accept any job from these companies. If they do....no matter how much of a perfectionist they were, no matter how conscientious, no matter how intelligent....they will be brainwashed into becoming thieving gorillas. Seeing one employee throwing a box over a fence on a YouTube video proves that beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Anyways, I'm sure this OP has no doubt his package was used as a football during the employees break time at Fort Collins. Then when the football burst, one of the employees yelled with glee, "LOOKIE LOOKIE!! Valuwabuls! I split dem wit ya if'n ya don't tell nobody!" The problem would certainly be resolved if those employees were apprehended and canned. Since it seems rather vague as to whom exactly those employees could be, perhaps the whole plant should be shut down. Since it can't be 100% certain the damage occured at Fort Collins, every post office in the nation should be shut down. That ought to do it. Then, in the same manner, we can work on shutting down both UPS (my personal favorite) as well as FedEx, as that package would have identical odds to end up appearing the same upon delivery (or when returned to sender) for the same reasons.
Too bad that will never happen. Bummers. It's just really sad that these companies expect us to resort to blaming those that, for one reason or another, need to cut corners on packaging and then treat us like we're weasling out of our responsibility by blaming our perfectly justified irrational anger on our limited concrete thought process personalities. Oh, the arrogance of those people!
