Ross, were those from me?!

Yes.

This was inside. But no chains. It's the post office's box!

Sorry for your loss. I tape those things along every edge before mailing.

Weather they find them or not, I will be shipping out another set of chains.

NOT necessary!

NOT necessary!

I want to. It bothers me that I didn't pack them better.

ryan if you knew how the packages that go through shipping get treated it would surprise you any package gets through without being lost or broke i think its better if you make the package so heavy they cant throw it around like a rag doll

 

[exSW]

I really don't expect another pair of chains. It was the P.O.'s box and the enclosed note all but said the machine handling caused the breach.

I have actually worked on the belt conveyor systems at FedEx and UPS distribution centers and watched packages go through. I didn't think this small of a package would have been an issue. Live and Learn.

I have received boxes like that, also with chains (but mine were still inside).

Chains are heavy, but flat, so the boxes get crushed, and 'leak' out their corners. Options are to pack the boxes full of newspaper (to keep their rectangular shape), and/or tape all of the edges to keep them sealed. I do the 'and' part.

Always amazed at boxes shipped from places like Amazon, where they just throw stuff into an oversized box that is barely sealed. Guess that they have good insurance.

If you look at the box that is what appears happened. But it's barely crushed,more like compressed a little.
