Badly Packed Goods?
 

It's official! Screwfix CANNOT pack. :P

Me and 'Leccy are converting a shed into a studio, so I recently ordered a bunch of hardware stuff from an Essex-based company called Screwfix, including a few electrical goods.

I got 2 parcels. Not only did they arrive 3 days late (idiotic drivers couldn't find where I lived even though it was painfully obvious), but one parcel had nothing in it.

Nothing, except for the single Earthing Rod that I ordered which was worth about £1.75, plus some bubble wrap.

I mean look at it, it's an Earthing Rod! It's a long metal spike that you ram it deep into the earth with a massive hammer - It's not fragile. Why does it need bubble wrap? And such a huge packet for such a tiny little thing?

It's a bit silly, isn't it? :P I'm glad postage and packing came free, but only because I ordered lots of stuff - I'd be a lot more pissed if I actaully paid for it too.

Anyone else received badly-packaged goods?

The postman may have the break hard, forcing the rod to fly forawrd, rip through the box and impale the postman driving the van.

We have a blog feature now.

Use it for crap like this.

Alright then, I'll turn it into a discussion and re-name the thread. :P

Happy now?

EDIT: Well, at least you used to be able to re-name thread topics.

Ah whatever. It was something silly, so I thought I'd share it with ya all. Not much happens on this forum like it used to back in the day, anyway.

I'm never happy.

DI beat me to it.

You people can be really boring. Maybe I worded this topic wrong, since I didn't intend it to be a blog.

Maybe you're uptight 'cause you have to deal with too many idiots here. :P

'Leccy said: At least you admit it. :)

"You people can be really boring."

Yeah, we're boring. Your topic is fried gold. Why it hasn't generated a post-frenzy is utterly confusing.



"Maybe you're uptight 'cause you have to deal with too many idiots here. :P"

We're not uptight. I was a prick about it because you're a forum vet. You know better.

I didn't mean it that way either. :P I meant you're boring 'cause I post something funny before being jumped apon with people going "Oi, this ain't no blog forum, boi!" Gaugh.

Ah well, spam topic.

This should be Nucrumed before a Flame War starts.

Everything I buy from Ebay starts its life with a broken case.

Poor Dark Hood. Like me, he remembers a time before we were all anal cunts.

He beats you everytime. That's why YOU'RE the bitch in the relationship.
