I just love to get those mystery packages from one of the list vendors.
I'd rather have a $1.00 option for proper packaging than to find a carton
that had obviously re taped by the shipping carrier.
I was only shorted or lost one $11.00 item in four years but on the
prospect of a trade off, I've only ordered about 11 times in four years.
The vendor shipped a replacement part prepaid and didn't give me a hard
time and hasn't held any grudges for shipping the N/C replacement.
I'm not going to support this rant other than to say, been there myself.
