[Milsurplus] Tape on shipped item horror

[KD7JYK DM09]

You've hit a nerve....

I buy often and find tape on one in about twenty items.  Automatic negative. 
What piece of shit vandalizes an item AFTER they take a photo of it and 
BEFORE they ship it to a person.  What are they accomplishing?  Who do they 
benefit?  Are they really just that retarded?  What psychotic prick puts 
tape all over paper or wood or ANYTHING???

One had an item up for years.  The photos had a date from some two years 
before I bought the item.  After they took the pic, they put their little 
inventory control sticker on it (another automatic negative, may as well be 
tape), THEN put clear packing tape over that to keep it from coming off. 
The date was ON the sticker!  I left proper feedback for such imbecilic 
behavior to which they followed up that I should have contacted them so they 
could make it right.  I said "No problem, build a time machine go back two 
years ago and NOT f--k this item up, you idiot!"

Almost worse than that?  The myriad of pissing, moaning and whining messages 
I get in response to my "honest and accurate feedback with no personal 
comments" per eF--k policy!  I'll be getting some today...

I always send a note to the seller with my payment:  "Please wrap, pad and 
pack well to prevent damage or abrasion in transit".  Maybe I should change 
it to: "DON'T F--K THIS UP!" and let them figure out all the different ways 
they may accomplish that.
