Default RE: What is the worst shipping box you ever received?

The worst box I see for shipping was the one Easy_tiger shipped a Reaper fuse in. It was two cardboard garment boxes taped together. The fuse was wrapped in bubble wrap. The rods for the wings pertruded out the side. The Reaper is a turbine jet. The engine is in the rear and batteries in the nose. There was nothing to reinforce or provide strength to the box.

By the time the post office was done, the fuse was folded in half right where the boxes were taped together. Luckily, A friend was pretty good at fixing Chinese gelcoat. It lived to fly again. After, I paid for the repairs and did numerous upgrades.

That was my worst shipping nightmare. Nearly two years ago, and it aint't over.
