... especially when they're PCFers.

 

[Bill]

Ouch

 

[BladerR]

Wow

 

[Rhodeman77]

Damn!!! Any damage?

 

[Psypher1000]

This makes me sad.

 

[Jeff]

Tru dat. Who shipped that mess????

 

[RowdyRawhide]

Jeeebus! I would like to know who to avoid there. I would attempt to ask for my money back and send them back

 

[TheBigTater]

Most importantly did it "Keep It Fresh".

 

[derekdd23]

That’s sad and infuriating. True WTF

 

[v1pe]

Thankfully these are ceramics so hopefully no damage?

Hopefully the shipper just didn't know better and this can be a learning moment.

 

[navels]

ugh. pretty easy to figure out who this was. new member, hopefully they'll learn from it.

Yeah, ceramics and (especially) plastics are much more forgiving when bulk-shipped like that.

So long as there's no movement inside the box (and ample padding is between the chips and the harsh world outside), you can cram a bunch of ceramics/plastics in a box with minimal risk of damage.

Not so much with clay chips, however.....

 

[MaxB]

they should have left out that plastic padding ...that way you can really pack those chips in tight against the cardboard box walls (y) :thumbsup:

 

[justsomedude]

Wow.

One of my purchases of ceramic France Poker Tour chips was packed basically like this. There was some chipping as a result.

I've dropped a ceramic in a concrete floor and had it break in 3 pieces (Condado Beach tribute $100). Never broke a play by dropping it.

I'm not saying I have a ton of experience breaking chips, but I would have expected less damage with clays. At the very least, I would have expected significant rim chipping from this pacakging.

The 500s look chipped on the edge to me.....

I wonder if anybody has seen chipping on the sunfly hybrids yet. They feel more plasticky, to me, than traditional ceramics. I guess I’d be surprised to see them chip like ceramics.

 

[PlaidDragon]

Ouch

My sentiments, exactly.

 

[davin]

Wow I'd cry....



I take pride in my shipping

I always make sure it's shipped properly extra bubble wrap , tons of tape to waterproof box. I seriously would cringe opening that.

Everyone who I ship to can vouche for me !!!

But damm that person who shipped that needs to be refered back to the post that @Tommy had created about shipping tips

Exactly perfect thread!!!!! Some eBay shippers don't know which is bad and why I stay away

Even renowned chippers can ship crappy. Had these shipped loose as shown, even after having a phone conversation detailing my shipping expectations...

 

[WedgeRock]

Rename thread "Crime Scene Photos"...

 

[davin]

Def to much chips for that box, atleast double up the boxes

And wrong size box... hard to make a brick of chips, when looks more like a ceramic tile (and just as susceptible to damage). A long flat box isn’t a good idea. Best to use a more cube-like box.

I'm no expert but I have always used your folks tips and go
Double MFRB with more support pieces with max 600 chips
Double LFRB with more support pieces with max 900 chips
However I always suggest splitting and always doing 2 MFRB to be safer

 

[T_Chan]

I won't name names... Especially since I forgot who it was since I've bought several batches of these chips.

 

[navels]
