To say I was concerned is an understatement. I saw the UPS guy scurrying back to his truck and said to myself, "Self, this isn't good". I went out to get the box and the picture below is what greeted me.

Can't blame CBid, UPS treats all packages like they are a concrete box. I took the picture and then opened it. I could hear the sticks moving around and that was another not good moment. The Air Pillows were even deflated.

To my surprise the sticks made it in one piece. Just one very small nick on the foot of one.

You need to upgrade your membership. All my shipments come in insulated, climate controlled steel ammo cans.

Yeah, UPS is not my favorite by a long shot. I am really hoping my first order comes with USPS... next time, I am sending a request for USPS. 🙂

Must've been a box of Ghurkas, the UPS guy probably opened it, got angry, and punted it across the yard. Even zombies stay away from Ghurkas.

The box was only 9"x6"x4 1/2", and had two 5 packs of 5 Vegas. Whatever they did, it deflated the air pillows in the box too!

Funny thing, I have not bought butane for decades. I guess it is a cheap high for the kids, because I couldn't find any anywhere.

I got this can of Ronson and at least it works. I guess long term it may clog the nozzle. Never thought I would have to buy butane through the mail.

That box took more of a beating than a Georgetown rugby team!

Hopefully everything inside was peachy keen![frypan]
