MDK 0 Posted February 17, 2017 I had one recently on here, chucked in a box with one small piece of bubble wrap, quite happily rattling around in the box. Granted there was good grace to use a box, and it was second class mail so it clearly will have traveled slower and not been subject to damage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
processengr 13,333 Posted February 17, 2017 Most of us would know better I think, maybe the seller had someone else ship the watch for them... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

domsdaddy123 0 Posted February 17, 2017 I once had a guy ship me a 1k franken loose in a box wrappwd in one piece of toilet paper. Seriously, just one piece of toilet paper with a tiny piece of tape holding it together..like whats the point of that? The piece was rattling around in the box so much the second hand AND logo poped off the dial..some people have no respect..I think its a respect thing...

avc0002 73 Posted February 17, 2017 Hey Rich. About that watch you just got from me. It's supposed to arrive tomorrow. You might not want to look at the packaging. Haha Just awful honestly. If I don't have bubble wrap around. I'll just load up whatever box I can find with a bunch of paper towels. Not the most official padding but it gets the job done.

atgm 0 Posted February 17, 2017 That's a disgrace, "what a liberty" is right. I usually try to take my wrapping/packing cues from the TDs... they do more of it than I ever will. It's not like a giant roll of bubble wrap is even that expensive! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilweazel 11 Posted February 17, 2017 The small flat rate priority box is perfect for sending a wrapped watch and costs like 6 bucks to get it anywhere in the COTUS in 2-3 days. WTF was this guys thought process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bobandshawn 5 Posted February 17, 2017 Not just you Rich...SAME happened to me. Guy had buyer's remorse so I said I would take the watch back and give him a refund. Watch arrived DOA in an envelope!?!?!?!? You should have seen the three pages of bullshit that ensued... B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dfq23 126 Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) Who was the dick who is now banned on here that there was a big kerfuffle about with sending watches in an envelope?

Genius 281 Posted February 17, 2017 I think shipping in a "Goddamn Box" should be a requirement for selling in M2M. Opening a paypal dispute or paypal notes is a banable offense correct? Why not shipping in a paper bag too? That's just plain negligent. Are boxes THAT difficult to obtain? Agree 100% it's just common fucking sense Now how can we find a way to get a mod to back the cause :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted February 17, 2017 it's perfectly possible to pack a watch safely in a padded envelope. Robert used to ship watches that way all the time. Lots of bubblewrap, well taped together. Nothing wrong with it. This sorta thing is completely unacceptable, however. I'll add a note about secure packaging to the sales rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest I got one in an envelope this week but it was rolled over and over and layered as good as if boxed so I get you... And secure packaging is basically all we need specified because you can put something in a box and still wrap it like a bellend! Thanks Greg! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted February 17, 2017 Added to M2M Rules: 6. IMPORTANT NOTE ON PACKAGING: You should always package any items you sell as securely as possible. Preferably in a box with lots of bubble-wrap (or a re-used foam box as used by most of our TDs). Note that if you ship a watch in inadequate packaging (such as in a padded envelope with insufficient extra packing) and it gets damaged in transit, Mods WILL side with the buyer on any dispute that results. Doubt it will make much difference with the numpties, but not much does.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wriggles 12 Posted February 17, 2017 Idiots are idiots. A box isn't going to do much good if the watch is rattling around inside. It's about how it's packaged rather than what it's packaged in. Though a box with plenty of wrapping should be ideal, and honestly should be the standard. My worry is if you're buying a watch from a tool like that, he/she clearly has so little respect for it if he/she thinks it's going to make it safely packaged that way, it would make you worry about how he/she treats their watches in general. Make you want to avoid buying anything from them, ever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
