This board was shipped to me because the floppy controller supposedly did not work:

Doofus's Asus box as shipped to me

THAT'S exactly how he shipped it! Slap a label on it and off we go!

When I opened it, I wasn't surprised at this point to find this:

Inside of doofus's box

No fill even. He didn't even have the decency to wrap the board in bubble wrap or even put it in a static bag! Last board I got like this had the caps knocked off of it from all of the crap rattling around inside it.

Not only was the board NOT DEAD but the floppy controller ACTUALLY WORKED PERFECTLY.

I slapped a post it on the outside of the box that simply said &quot;is this how you normally ship stuff?&quot; and stuck it in a box with foam peanuts and shipped it back to him.

Sigh.

Yeah. I once got a package where there was a bunch of kid's clothes as packing material.

Yeesh!

I wonder:
If you were to mail a stick of ram with a stamp on it and a label with the address on it, do you think there'd be even a 5% chance of it getting to it's destination intact?

Johnny:

Don't you have any glass containers you can put stuff like this in to ship back? He, he. Do that, and I'll take it to the post office myself!

I'd leave that person a neutral feedback.
jeez that's pathetic!

I almost dropped dead when someone sent me a 128mb Samsung -GH in a padded envelope (like the express mail ones)

Makes you wonder how the mobo dood would send a palm pilot :D

Neutral feedback?

Umm... OK.

Hey everybody. I'm leaving that guy neutral feedback. His name is John and he lives in CA, so everyone be careful. OK? ;)

Eli,

I would edit that out because if they notice it they will take care of it.

Well I don't mind if they edit my message as long as I don't get in trouble.. I was just testing.. I noticed that when I edited my message, it let me type e-bay, so I tested it with other forbidden words.. :p I let NSF4 know, he was going to talk to Zuni about it..

I just thought it was kinda funny, so i decided to leave it ;)
