Close call…
Holy crap! This is why I do a double row of tape on that side of the box too. A little extra tape for a lot of piece of mind.
TAPE YOUR PACKAGES UP PROPERLY, PEOPLE!
And insure!

People here pay a lot of money for chips and when I'm the seller, I feel like I have a very real obligation to do as much as possible on my end to mitigate the risk of damage during the transport process.
If chips somehow get damaged during transport, it sure as heck won't be due to shitty packaging.
Personally, I like to double tape all the edges and then cover all over with heavy duty packing tape. #ThisIsTheWay.
I won't bulletproof the contents like some people here, but chip boxes, some padding, and a literal shitload of tape on the outside to waterproof it and make sure it won't crack open has served me well. Tape is cheap. Cover the dang thing.People here pay a lot of money for chips and when I'm the seller, I feel like I have a very real obligation to do as much as possible on my end to mitigate the risk of damage during the transport process.

I hate to say it but the honest truth is that this does almost nothing (at least with USPS).

This! I recieved a box completely covered in tape. I was upset for about 5 seconds, thinking how hard it would be to open. Then realized how awesome it is that it's so hard to open.

You're welcome, did the kitten arrive safely?This! I recieved a box completely covered in tape. I was upset for about 5 seconds, thinking how hard it would be to open. Then realized how awesome it is that it's so hard to open.
The double box method works well too for more reinforcement and extra padding. I just have a very hard time trying to fold that box inside the same sized boxed. Lots of good info here:

Was it always hairless? It's still awesome either way. Haha
My mother-in-law retired at the post office, and I’ve seen a few people here have successful clams. Must insure for me with packages over $4k.

I understand the intent here and on paper, it makes a lot of sense. The reality is that large claims are a huge pain in the ass and the success rate is not in your favor. For the few people that have had success here there's probably 10x that who have had the opposite experience. I've had enough large claims (over $2k) that have been unsuccessful that I'll never insure anything with USPS again. If I make a purchase like that I'll probably insist that it's shipped UPS or Fedex and insure it through them.
I don’t believe UPS nor FEDEX offer insurance. I know FEDEX doesn’t.

...and then customs dude thinks "whatever, one single strip of tape will be enough!"
Based on my experience with packages that have been opened by U.S. Customs, this seems par for the course unfortunately.
I’ve only ever had contents of shipments damaged twice - both times it was baby gifts from my parents and both times it was overzealous customs agents and their box cutters who did the damage…

FedEx doesn't, that's correct, I guess I mean you can ship FedEx and purchase private insurance for their shipments.
UPS does, it's called UPS Capital shipping.

So, our resident 3D printing expert @BearMetal has been working on a little project for me, they arrived today.
My intent is to separate the villains chips or amount they put in the pot and mark them with these cappers. Trust me, the villains these will be used against are gonna get a chuckle out of them. Thanks again Jonathan, I love them!
