Therefore I conclude that my original statement still
holds: J. Random
Ebay User is worse than a UPS Store franchise.
A while back, I bought an HP laptop.
The seller carried it to the post office, dropped it into a flat-rate box,
and then she dropped the adhesive cover strip and the backing paper from
the shipping label in as the only packing material.
It came through just fine!
I've had other small items with massive amounts of styrofoam turds and
half a dozen thicknesses of cardboard that were mangled beyond recognition.
But, I have never had an item packed full of angry gorillas receive any
damage at all.
