just an FYI to Meh - packages arriving open/not enough tape a/o Texas air

mehod thought this was worth mentioning said

while reading posts of fuku#6 arriving, there were more than a few people who mentioned their cartons arriving open to some extent or another.

although i didn’t get a fuku :(, several days ago one of my orders arrived in similar condition. my order started with Fedex then to USPS for delivery. the box was re-taped by post office with the USPS « Received in Damaged Condition » tape . the box itself was ok, just not enough tape to keep it sealed.

the box was also about ten times larger than need be and arrived with only six bags of Texas air. if it left the warehouse this way, that would explain why tape is failing. set anything on it, there isn’t enough internal support, the top will cave.
