ugh, getting to the point i don't want to have things shipped to me

[Distorted.Clarity]

can't count how many times i get a regular envelope with a new stuff in it, w/e was inside never makes it. the feeling of getting a package is all exciting but when you see that empty paper envelope, you just feel like it would have been more exciting to take a wad of cash and set it on fire.

the envelopes that have bubble wrap are perfect for this. also it's usually around a single dollar to ship via first-class with that method.
envelopes go threw machines that press on them, packages are processed differently.

just sucks because, my atty has been revived a few times, has that taste that resembles burnt popcorn with a hint of w/e flavor it's supposed to be.

from here out, direct orders from companies.

I don't know about anyone else on here, but you've COMPLETELY lost me DC...

What are you talking about? You're receiving empty envelopes?

 

[Daedalus]

I think DC is referring to the USPS First Class Mail envelope that some suppliers send items in. They wrap individual things in bubble wrap and then they're placed inside of a thick paper envelope. I believe these travel through the mail system with normal letters, as opposed to a separate supply chain with Priority Mail.

Had a lot of stuff shipped to me this way, but never an empty envelope. The corner edge of my old 510 kit did have a dented corner, but no real damage. Pretty peculiar that you're getting empty envelopes, like they're resealed? Or the postman is really putting a ripped open envelope into your mailbox? This is something you should take up with your local post office, maybe they have some really old sorting machines or something.

I don't care to receive items in them flimsy envelopes either but, I've never had one ripped or arrive empty before.. I second someone's suggestion of speaking to your PO, sounds like someone along the lines is helping themselves!!

 

[Distorted.Clarity]

i keep getting things in the envelopes you would send a letter in.
the ones shipped that you get with bubble wrap are fine. just saying if i get one more that isn't packaged correctly, i'll loose the last bit of my mind i have left.

example

i get this

they need to be shipped in something like this

for the last three weeks i get one to two in the regular one.. just tired of it.. had to vent

 

[Janetda]

Wow, I've never had a vendor send me stuff in a regular envelope. Don't use those vendors again, stick with the ones you know package your order correctly.

 

[Daedalus]

Yeah seriously! Just exactly which vendors are sending you items in letter envelopes? Those definitely go through something similar to a laundry mangle, you can't put atty's in em.

 

[mini_art]

Wow I've never gotten a package from a vender like that, nor have I ever sent one out like that. Your vender is hmmmm well needs a packaging 101 course.

 

[VPDownunder]

Ditto as someone who has to have everything shipped from overseas I've never had anything in a plain envelope??

 

[Lyndagayle]

Wow...I've never gotten an order in a plain envelope either. My orders have always arrived in perfect condition. I'd only get one like that from each supplier and they'd be on my black list. If they don't care enough to package an order the best way possible to avoid damage, I wouldn't trust what was inside. Sometimes crap happens during mail processing but if it's in a bubble envelope or small box, it's much less likely to arrive damaged. Change to a different supplier.

 

[Distorted.Clarity]

lmao, not a vender. random people i have been swapping or buying off of.
that was the point is that, i'm pretty much sticking with venders from here out.

i'm all better now though, i do know that tomorrow i will be getting one more.. i'm going to just tell anyone that gets the mail to toss out anything not in a package. i do not want to see another ripped empty envelope again.

 

[keyzygirl]

We trade all the time in PIF and thank god all my stuff has been nicely packaged and I do the same when I ship stuff out.

 

[Automaton]

Was this person you swapped/bought from on ECF? If so, you should really write this up in the negative feedback thread if you can't get your money back/resolve it elsehow.

 

[Distorted.Clarity]

i only got one thing from here like that and it's resolved. i on other forums dealing with various things. so it's not just ecig stuff, but it was starting to drive me a bit batty.

 

[Happy Domino38]

I received a metal drip tip in a plain envelope from an ECF transaction.

To say I wasn't impressed would be an understatement. I was shocked it was still IN the envelope at all, considering it was a brass drip tip. It also hadn't been cleaned and it arrived pretty much black.

But, why bother with the whole negative feedback thing? It DID arrive, no one SAID it was BLACK, but WTH..

 

[brandon555]

I got a package like that from a fellow forumite in a trade. The contents were ripped right out when it went through the machine. Luckily he made good and sent me another.

Just use a small bubblewrap envelope.

 

[Mr.Self_Destruct]

Have you stated upfront prior to trade or PIF that you want it in a bubble wrap shipping envelope?

Same here. Just a plain white envelope with the drip tip inside a folded piece of paper.

At least he sent me another... This time it was wrapped in tissue and a few layers of paper. At least it got here.

I think its just common courtesy and common sense to use proper packing materials... a lot of time and frustration can be saved by doing it right the first time.
