Part of a balanced breakfast

Not gonna say who I got this from, most people here can probably already tell because I hear he likes to recycle. Frankly the outside of the box doesn't matter but the carts were rattling around loose inside. Sender was VERY lucky it was only in transit for a day because the damage probably would have been much worse. I call it the miracle package and have it on display in my office atm.

  • I didn't think the PO would even except boxes like that! So carts were just tossed in there with no newspaper or anything!?
  • There were two loose sheets of newspaper but they weren't doing squat.
  • It probably would have been better for him to have left the cheerios in there for padding image
  • Oh my god that's hilarious.



    And terribly sad.
  • It's amazing what people use to package things in. I had a similar package once except it was a cake box not a cereal box.
  • I too believe in recycling, but this is quite extreme! Most of my individual games come wrapped up in old paper grocery bags. It helps the earth and dammit, it's cheaper too. But this is quite hilarious.
  • lol, I got a "Special -K" box. I'm still LMAO about it
  • Ok I think I win this one... Sheesh a Cereal box ok, but a Betty Crocker Potatoes box is just wrong man... oh yeah and I just opened it and it was a Mickey's Numberland with nothing else in there, no paper, no peanuts, no potatoes... can't believe it's still in one piece.
  • Oh No! Erik... better edit out that image to block out your collection! No one was ever supposed to see!
  • Ok, I dunno... I've had TWO pizza boxes (small) that were both *used* image They even had grease stains in the bottoms. Now that's just plain wrong.
  • I don't think anyone can beat Dain's post for poor and disgusting packages
  • My favourite is when you open up a box that was shipped to you and it just smells awful. Like someone literally smoked a pack of cigarettes while packaging your stuff and exhaled into the box everytime.

    NGD, you know what I am talking about...

  • Not to sound stereotypical (which it will), but the last one, ironically, was from NY. I wish I could remember where the first one came from... maybe it was Chicago, LOL.
  • The worst I got was three games inside of a MexiMeal Taquito's box, nothing else in there. It was an extremely flimsy box and the three games were just rattling around inside

    I hear you man. When I get a package like that I feel like tossing the game in the dumpster and taking a shower. Yeeeh.
  • Whats wrong with Chicago?  Come on now.  Its a solid city.

    I personally love when the packages are unique.  But you guys are right about the smokey games.  I hate that.  I usually sell those immediately as a set and want nothing to do with them.  I do let them air on the back porch for days, but yeah. that's gross.

    I once sent a nes advantage in a robotic pig box to some guy that was being a jerk about things. But that was it.  We should have a competition where the dorkest/ugliest/gayest packaging reciever or creator gets some sort of prize.  maybe a plush goomba or something.
  • Wow! this is great. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one getting crazy stuff. I once received a shipment with a bunch of crumbled up pictures of this girl with brown hair. They were all of this same girl. I suspect she was an ex-girlfriend ... The box was pretty normal, though.
  • I got a lone cheetoh in a box before...
  • lol, i would rather have a lone cheetoh than a whole bunch of used ziploc sandwich bags with crumbs still in them. That the worst I have received.

    In the words of Paris hilton, That's Hot!
  • Wow I can't stop laughing... this is a great thread! Dain I withdraw my man... your's is definetly the winner until the buyer who actually makes Batty mad enough to send them a package of real crap posts about it!!
  • As for some of those smokey packages I have recieved a couple and they are just vile. I had one with a power pad in it, and the power pad sat around my house for months and the next time I dug it out to sell it, it still reeked of smoke! Also I have found lighters in at least two of the smokey smelling packages.

    And Dain, to answer your question about the pizza boxes from Chicago, you know people from big cities like Chicago are just living in their own garbage so it makes sense to ship something in a pizza box, my individual games come wrapped up in an old grocery bag, nothing else! But I have a 100% feedback rating.
  • I've got all you guys beat. A couple years ago I received a CIB game from eBay that was packaged in... *drum roll*... NOTHING! That's right, he just taped the game's box shut at the top and slapped my address on the front. Needless to say the box was absolutely trashed and useless when I got it image I can't remember what game it was, but I did post about it on DP a long time ago, so it is recorded *somewhere* for posterity.
  • I definitely know who sent that.
  • I've had quite a few of those as well. I had a set of NES Controllers (the two boxed ones) sent in the box with a postage sticker on the outside. I also had the same happen to a Sports Set that I got -- it was in mint condition in the pics, and the one that arrived may have at one point been mint, but it was beat to hell.
