US Postal Service

I made a mixed media piece for my kids for Christmas...
3 canvases, each 18 x 24. 
It was all made from bits of recycled paper.
Since they flew up from LA, 
I was going to drive it down when I went to visit. 
But I got anxious to get it to them and decided to ship it. 
I packed it in card board and sent it off.

 

This is how it arrived. And the third canvas is even worse.
What the hell did they do to it?

I thought I had packed it well. 
But obviously I have a lot to learn about packing for shipping. 
Especially if I use the postal service. Never again.
And no, I did not purchase insurance.

Yes, I know. 
Really stupid.
