Packaging of the year award goes to India

[NingYupOwaDat]

I ordered 300 blades from India the other week and they arrived today. Upon first seeing the parcel I found it quiet amusing how many stamps were on it. They went all around the sides.


Then when I unwrapped it, using a knife to cut it apart, I was equally amused to find that the entire parcel was made of duct tape wrapped around newspaper!


To be fair, the shipping was free so can't fault the service.

I'm currently trying to find the name of the Newspaper.

Who did this come from ? Usually my orders from desistores.net come wrapped (excellently) in mummy gauze..

I recently purchased some cheap alum blocks from the bay from a seller in India and when they came, they were in these great plastic containers that I know use when I travel etc. Pretty impressive for free shipping. Your package, however, definitely wins the wrapping award of the year!

That's some pretty ghetto wrapping lol! No box at all? Just newspaper and duct tape? Wow. The stamps look kinda cool though

The stamps are pretty cool alright, the guy obviously knows how much/little packaging is needed, he never goes overboard in other words, the blades were fine like what harm could they really come to?!

That is hilarious! Provided that the blades were fine.

Which shipper was it so I can use them on my next Alum order?

I also received some newspaper and tape goods from India...clever use of resources.

I'm going to use paper and duct tape for the next parcel I send out. That's awesome!

I ordered a roll of duct tape from India, and it came packed the exact same way. I think he may have used some of the tape from my roll.

Kinda reminds me of a Christmas present I gave my brother one year. A Japanese hand saw sealed inside a wooden box.

What shocking waste. The duct tape was clearly unnecessary with all those stamps sticking it closed.

I am waiting on a package from the same vendor...even more eager for it's arrival.

You will be surprised by how solid it feels. Be sure to post yours when it comes.
