Badly Packed Goods?

[DarkHoodness]

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.

[DarkHoodness]

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.

[Disgruntled Intern]

I'm never happy.

DI beat me to it.

[DarkHoodness]

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

I'm never happy.

'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.

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

DI beat me to it.

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