Body parts delivered to Michigan home

March 3, 2007 (CASCADE TOWNSHIP, Mich.) - A Michigan couple expecting a delivery of furniture parts say they were surprised to receive human body parts instead.
The two packages from China -- which included a liver and part of a head -- were mistakenly dropped off at the couple's home this week. They say a D-H-L express driver thought the bubble-wrapped items were pieces for a table.

The woman said her husband began unwrapping one package and said, "This is strange, it looks like a liver." He started to open the second one, but called the sheriff after spotting an ear.

Authorities say the preserved body parts were destined for a medical research lab. They say 28 similar packages might be dispersed across the country. Two other packages broke open en route, scattering their contents.

A D-H-L spokesman says it's looking into the matter.

"Hey, how should we ship these body parts, send them FedEx?"

"Nah, just use whatevers cheapest, it's not like its important"

fixed...

I mean, how do you ship body parts via DHL wrapped in bubble wrap, not on dry ice or anything apparently, with a fvcked up address?



 
Holy co...er, human! It would be even wackier if a scandal erupts from this...say that the body parts are from executed Chinese convicts and that the prisons sell them--which is a big no-no as the Chinese government is supposedly trying to combat the sale of organs of executed convicts.
 
Wait a minute, so the DHL guy saw what was in the package before he delivered it (he claims they were bubble-wrapped)?

Like he's going to pay attention to an oddity like that. Liver... chair.. who cares? 😀
 
Well, in DHL's defense, they did de-livered the packages.
And that is how you get ahead of the competition.
