I had no idea they had the right to inspect it! Why do they, but not with first class? Wonder if that’s what happened: a seller claims the steelbook he sold me was mint when he had it. I bought it, opened it up, and he had a cut on the front and scratches on the back. Either he’s lying about it, or USPS did open it and did that.

I just feel like for some non-valuable movies and SBs that extra $3 saved makes a difference. I’ll really have to re-consider things with this new knowledge though!
