    Fragile

    I guess the hole through the fragile sticker makes me the maddest. Even though the box was well marked ,looks like they played field hockey with it.

    It looks like it could have been kicked right in the label.

    What condition were the boxes contents in?

      That looks like a pretty thin box to mail anything fragile. No excuse for the mis-handling, but the shipper could use thicker corrugated cardboard.

        Next time put a fragile AND an explosive sticker on the box. That will make them more careful

          I agree, that is not a shipping box, the seller should have done a better job, that damage could just be from stacking.

            I think covering the item with newspaper would be stronger than that paper thin box, lol.

              Seriously...you should be more mad at the person who shipped you that instead of the shipping carrier.

                Were the contents damaged, Ben? Regardless of who's at fault, it's a bummer when you get a package like that.

                  What is that, a pastry box? Are you mail ordering Plaza Donuts again!?! :P

                  Looks like half the boxes I receive these days… carelessly used recycled materials and roughly handled for good measure. I empathize.

                    reminds me of the opening sequence of Ace Ventura and when he gives the package to the guy, the guys says "sounds Broken" and Ace says "probably is"

                      Ben, did your item survive unharmed?

                      I once got a figure shipped in an empty cereal box with no packing material inside.
                      Just chucked in the box, and the address written on it with a fat pen. The box arrived looking as if Jabba the Hutt sat on it.
                      .
                      .
                      .

                        A lot of people are kinda stupid ... They think using non corrugated boxes will save them money in shipping weight.

                        They don't realize most of the space between the corrugation is just air

                        The PO should make these kinds of boxes illegal --- like they did with staples and tie-string

                            The figure was safe inside , he was well wrapped in a handful of plastic Walmart bags.
