That's beyond shameful, Dog, that's almost a crime. It's all good that you got a refund no questions asked, but I know for myself, when I get my heart set on a knife, the moment I've paid the money aspect is non-existent and I'm thinking about the knife. Getting a refund amounts to wasting everybody's time, the bitter thoughts will remain for a long time, whereas the refunded money is instantly forgotten.
When life kicks me in the teeth I try to remember, that while one door slammed shut, it was necessary so a new and better door could open up to me and it often does, so hang-in there and watch for something special coming your way in the not too distant future. My empathy is with you, buddy, 100%.
.... I hope the seller gets his end covered by the postal insurance ($100 on that priority box). This looks like the fact is that whatever happened to the contents, happened while in "custody" of the USPS.... 
.... Oh well you are right "one door slammed shut, it was necessary so a new and better door could open up" ....
You can also find a rare and valuable 100+ year old prize in the $1 bargain bin, or find your "grail" knife. Those are the experiences that keep us going. All the frustrations in between are what makes the great "finds" special. And the friendships you make along the way are priceless.
