Oh, man, that's a bummer about the box ... but THANK YOU for the
laugh! I REALLY needed that today.

I have to wonder how on earth they expected to get into the box when
it's completely flat!

And, most importantly, were you able to save the stamp?

The stamp survived well. It was the thick Mastercarve, unmounted, so I
guess it was flexible enough for whatever they were doing. The logbook was
in very bad shape tho. I've never seen Rubbermaid so scrunched before in my
life. Rubbermaid ain't Timex I'll tell ya.
