Title: Crappy packages .. lets see em
Post by: wildon on March 21, 2013, 11:53 PM: Seem to be getting a few lately. Pretty lucky i actually got them tbh .. just a few i took pics of ...

This turned up like this the other day, nos JMC post, no wrapping .. just chucked in an envelope, slid right out ...

And these ... Campy Sheriff Stars. This is how the bag was when the posty handed it to me. Hubs just rattling around against each other in an envelope all the way from Germany...

Post by: AKGOFF on March 22, 2013, 07:59 AM: They are all very badly packed to say the least but they got to the destination so some might say you're lucky. That full bike is Fookin funny though, they must have had a right laugh at the courier depot with that one. :LolLolLolLol:

Post by: ozone on March 22, 2013, 09:06 AM: Bubble wrap/parcel tape/cardboard is cheap as chips anyway so no excuses really.

I'd think about blurring out your address unless this is some sort of honey trap. :D

Post by: Swivel on March 22, 2013, 11:04 AM: I've had loads of packages arrive with either forks hanging out or one of the worst ones was a group 1 stem in a tesco bag, hardly any tape around it, it was bashed, scuffed etc... >:( anyway, didn't photograph any of those horrors but I did this one from my lovely mate Arnaud, this ain't crappy but just made me laugh and the postman looked a bit worried too ;D :D
