$800 in cards vanished
On November 29, 2022 I mailed 20 sports cards with a total value of $800 to the Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) in Newport Beach, California. According to the tracking information the package was delivered to their company on December 2 2022. PSA’s website showed that my submission was received on December 5, 2022 and entered into their system “Your submission has arrived at PSA.”. This particular order had a 120 day turnaround time. At that point I didn’t check on the order because I knew that it would potentially take 6 months for the order to be processed. I checked PSA’s website to get an update for my submission on May 22, 2023. I noticed that the status of my order had not changed since it was entered in their system. On May 25, 2023 I sent an email to their customer service department requesting information regarding my order. I finally received a response from a representative on June 2, 2023. I was eventually informed that my package had arrived empty. The representative sent me pictures of the package but all of them showed it was still sealed. The company claimed they opened the package from the bottom but didn’t have a picture of it. I was told that another representative sent me one email on December 19, 2022 to inform me of this situation. I’ve repeatedly stated that I did not receive such an email from their company. When I requested to receive compensation for my lost cards they denied any responsibility or liability for this situation. The representative requested that I file a claim with the USPS. However that wasn’t possible since the 60 day timeline had already passed. The representative apologized for the situation and told me that I had lost my $800 worth of cards. PSA still refused to accept any negligence on their part nor compensate me in any way. That response is completely unacceptable.
