Here's one I was mad about earlier. This has to be the dumbest packing job I've had in as long as I can remember. I paid $51 shipped (which is low) for F-Zero Climax CIB, supposedly not used but opened for the picture on ebay.
Let's tick of the boxes of stupid stuff.
1. Tapes horizontally one strip over the top, and one over the bottom of the cut out label, not the middle.
2. Now on the the top if you see it, there's a starter piece from a roll of cheap gift wrap (magic mending) clear tape. Hmm why?
3. Because on the reverse instead of properly sealing the package (as it was new, not reused) he unfolds just one flap, smashes it down on the back of the bagging, and then pops the little piece of somewhat tape as an extra fastener to seal it. Clearly it's meant to seal on the end and not be opened again which is why it has that tear strip handle you can see to rip it open.
4. Bonus points to the post office. They didn't even notice it was gone. That's right, the bag is one of those puffed up cloth padding types so it had heft and bulk, conformed to the box that was in there, guessing by size wrapped in bubble wrap or something.
Somewhere in transit the halfassed sealing job unfolded, slid the contents out (if someone didn't do it) and then it flapped back closed and likely from compression of other goods sort of restuck it back down and it made the journey from Santee, CA to KY. It felt light when I pulled it, then I received my $51 dollar bag of air. I've been wanting to replace that game for years and to find it go low and on a US seller, argh. Now I have to have a case, let him likely whine about it, get my dough back, and buy again from someone less ignorant on basic uses of sealing a package.
