Splain | 2,570 Editorials Team · Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I'm not worried. This happens sometimes when I order stuff from ebay. I imagine the sellers get nervous if they're watching it, but inexplicable multi-day radio-silence delays just... happen, for whatever reason. It wouldn't surprise me if it suddenly showed up after 2 more days in the dark. We'll just shrug our shoulders and keep the train chugging. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem likely that it has been misplaced or incorrectly routed or something, but if it turns out that I am at fault somehow, I'll make it up to you guys. Imma need a Stadium Events cart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffeewithmrsaturn | 100 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Wow. That's crazy. I'm sorry I didn't just use a new box, but honestly it was not bursting at the seams when it left me. Must have had a terrible journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutling | 31 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Yeah that looks more like something happened to it in progress, not just natural degradation lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captmorgandrinker | 1,649 Administrator · Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 With flat rate boxes being free, I would suggest anybody that can easily pick one up at their USPS just use a new box to ship out. Those things aren't made to last, and if there's any give at all (like they're not filled to the brim with packing material to keep the box shape) they're gonna get repeatedly squished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8-bit guerilla | 82 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 There was definitely some cart damage pieces rolling around in it too. Maybe a John Elway got busted up. Nothing major tho it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of shipping mishaps, your package has been returned to me. I’ll be at the post office Tuesday morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only assumed 1 one thrown in the box, someone else threw in 1, the third guy threw in one and then I... was tempted to keep up the trend but considering the guys at the end of the list, I didn't want them to open the box and see Space Invaders for SNES, a Mario Manual and 17 beat up John Elways. So, I didn't participate but, to be clear, I easily could have. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
