overstock.com's shipping department blows

[ElFenix]

ordered and xbox360, a wireless controller, and ncaa 07. the xbox and controller were put into a box with just a little airbag that couldn't hope to fill up the empty space. additionally, the bottom of the box wasn't taped. no, rather than tape, all they did was tuck the corners into each other. sure, that's fine for when you're storing boxes in your garage, but when you're shipping something that's just wrong.

i've got the bar exam tomorrow otherwise i'd plug this thing in and make sure it works.

Best of luck on the bar exam! Now we'll know where to come for legal advice.

Hmm. I ordered one too but mine was packed fine. About 5 of the air bubbles total and the box was taped up nice and tight. I didn't get a shipping confirmation email until I've already played the xbox for like a week though.
