So this is how box 1/3 of xmas gifts arrived from Amazon

[Platypus]

Note, off screen the handle of the pan coming out of the side.

How the FUCK did this even get shipped out of there? The box is 3x too big for the contents and they shipped a heavy ass cast iron skillet along with 5 or 6 other plastic items, all of them completely destroyed. I just got off the phone with them and they're replacing all of the plastic items for me so that's nice of them but seriously what the fuck? That's worse than anything I've ever received from ebay and this is from a professional company.


This is what I saw when opening the box:

I'm on a 1080p screen and I still have to scroll for all axis.
Try reading this on a laptop like some ATOTer's.

An iron skillet is not the best packaging material to protect air bags. Everyone knows this.

I strip out images so I forgot and expected people would click on the link and have it resized by their browser. Sorry for breaking your screens for 10 seconds.

Interestingly enough, that's the same way my lodge cast iron skillet arrived from amazon. Luckily skillets were the only thing I ordered, but it was disturbing to see the handle sticking out of the box.
The box was about 2x too big and the only packing material were two inflated plastic bags.

Was that directly through Amazon, or one of their associates?

Yeah I ordered a lot of shit but I can't imagine why they thought packing all the plastic shit I ordered in the same box as this skillet would be a good idea.

lol...how did you pick to have it shipped? Separately or grouped?

I've never seem them do something like that and I order a LOT of shit from them.

I order a ton through them too and have never seen anything that fucking ridiculous before. I didn't pick 'speed up my shipment' or anything like that.

When you go through the checkout process it gives you an option to ship together or separately (as items are available). I always pick the 2nd one, though I do have Prime.

Even if this was shipped together, there's certainly a right and wrong way to package a box. Using a box 3x the size of the items inside, not wrapping anything up so it wouldn't move in said box and packaging the skillet on TOP of the fragile items are all examples of how to be terrible at your job.

I've done that before (though not usually, as I do not have Prime), and the items will still ship together if they happen to be shipping from the same location at the same time (which made me selecting that box completely pointless).

Seasonal help maybe. It's just so out of the ordinary for them to fuck something up like that. Usually the crap I get from them is way over packed if anything.

Your two, visible, plastic items look fine. You stealing, brah?

 

[krylon]

Nerd rage is strong in this one.

I give it a 3.3333/10, repeating of course.
