Jon,
You should have used a priority mail small box flate rate with delivery confirmation. I send many tubes this way. They guaranteed to arrive in 2-3 days and once they're delivered the delivery confirmation # also works as a tracking number as well!
As you can see from the summary below you're charged $4.95 for the prioty flat rate shipping and $.70 for delivery confirmation for a total of $5.65. It's too late to help you now, but good advice for future returns and shipments!
Summary
for a Priority Mail® Small Flat Rate Box
mailed from ORLANDO FL 32828 to STURTEVANT WI 53177 on December 20
Mailing Summary Your Cost
Priority Mail® Small Flat Rate Box $4.95
Delivery Confirmation™ 0.70
Total $5.65
I hope this helps you.

Thanks, I get nervous sending tubes in small boxes but it's a once in a lifetime thing to see something get crushed like this.
I usually do everything online and I'm just used to using my good old 1st Class for a pair of tubes at about 2.50.
Thanks for the head up!
Learned the hard way!
USPS Has a "pretty good" record with first class, over 99%. Not near good enough to trust your goods or your reputation to. And when you add the vagaries of multiple countries post office systems that success rate can only go down. Tracking is a necessary expense, as is insurance for anything you can't replace. (It amazes me that USPS has no responsibility for lost or damaged items unless you pay extra).
Second, it's possible, even probable, that no fraud was involved on the seller's part. You have THE tube tester, and presumably the seller has some random old tube tester, so it could have tested well on his and not so well on yours.
Sorry about your experience.
btw - have a pair of Omega's new Hoyt-Bedford on the way in. After the holidays having a get together in Tampa.
