Did someone open my mail?

I ordered a bottle of mulitvitamins from the USA ($20) and the packaged arrived today, but it was ripped quite a bit (Everything inside was okay). The package came via Canada Post and USPS. I was wondering if a letter carrier could have ripped it, maybe it was inspected by customs, or just naturally ripped along the way. Anyone have any idea tips of figuring this out? I could see customs opening it to check what was inside, but wouldn't they inform me?

Most likely customs.

If customs inspected it, usually there would be customs tape around it.

Does it look like the box could have gotten damaged during transit?

i've gotten mangled up packaging before im guessing due to the transport process. stuff inside is always fine.

maybe it was customs that messed with it.

I thought customs would put a sticker or something at least too. It wasn't a box, it was a bag type package, but its not thin plastic at all so it would have required force to be open.

Sometimes the sorting machines can really damage a package. They travel on belts at some high speeds and can get caught on things.

If it was customs, they generally put the package in a bag or tape it up with labeled tape. Does the bottle have its own seal? I wouldn't take any if the bottle didn't have its own seal. You really never know if someone did anything to them.
