Well either way, the guy is being an ass. That is pretty crappy to leave negative feedback on someone who is trying to make right. Has he even described the condition of the outer packaging? Shown that it was opened by customs? Etc, etc?

This goes back a few years but I had a few that were obviously opened by Canadian customs and not marked as such. Maybe it depends on where it's coming over the border.

He hasn't said anything about the original package.

Nearly brand new. Definitely pristine.

Did he say something about the outer box or not?

I wonder if it depends on carrier, declared value or item, addressee, or if it's purely random?
