I was expecting my Euro bone MT1 from
@Bertl at any time. Tracking read that it finally arrived and was in my city. When I got home from work there was a message in my mail box from USPS saying my package has arrived but was undeliverable.
I race into town and wait in line for what seemed like an hour. Finally my turn. Tell teller my name and she went in back to retrieve my parcel.
When she came around the corner with my box , I was shocked and yelled, “Oh No!” I think she was thinking I wasn’t expecting that big of a box. That wasn’t what I was worried about. The boxed looked like shit. Squashed down and beat up.
I drove home and immediately started looking at the box. There was no way in hell that bowl or lid wasn’t damaged I thought. I’ve shipped grills and normally the height is over 15” tall . One side of this box looked about 12” tall.
Opening it I was expecting the worst. The bowl was packaged sockets up and looked fine. The lid was also unscathed. Man I was lucky.
I am sure customs, either in Austria or USA, tore that box apart looking for something. Didn’t find anything, threw all the stuff back in the box with no regard and sent it on it’s way.
Thank god everything worked out. It shows you can pack everything just right, but shippers can really abuse the package.
