How not to pack a gasket!

[davemar 16]

Just received this exhaust manifold gasket from Autodoc. I don't think the packers got the "do not bend" message on this item!

Ah that takes me back to the early '00's when i worked in customer service and had to deal with delivery issues.  That's on a par with someone that had ordered 6 lengths of 2 metre beading and the warehouse that picked / dispatched it decided to snap it into 12 1 metre lengths to package / send it.

 

Also some classic Amazon style packaging going on there too - smallish / thin item so rather than chuck it in a small envelope style setup, wang it in a big chunky box instead.

A guy I know ordered genuine bmw pre bent pipes for his e30 m3, can’t remember if brake or fuel.

The courier couldn’t get them in his van so bent them double.

As you can imagine he was livid.

i had an XUD headgasket arrived carefully folded in half from a fleabay seller.

But my favourite was an Amazon order for Bosch wiper blades, twenty of them, all in a two foot long box, yes twenty boxes,the courierhad built a wall of them outside my back door
