1 day? Damn. Might have to rehtink my Ebaybanned purchase I was planning on making tomorrow.

Alright alright I promise after this no more ranting but being a airsoft retailer connoisseur I have to admit airsoftpark has me all googly eyed. Received my order today, so what was that, three days? Open the box to find for the 4th time in a row (4th order from them) a most meticulously packaged order.

Now I've seen companies go with popcorn, chinese newspapers, or my newest favorite from weaponblender nothing but an envelope, no protection what so ever (pair of glasses i ordered were sticking out of the envelope when I recieved it...), and a variety of different methods from ebaybanned, from some effort to no effort what so ever.

First off airsoftpark uses double layered cardboard boxes, wrapped entirely with tape, once you crack that open you find everything wrapped together in a foam wrapping, and from there every individual part in its own taped foam wrapping, barrels done with extra care, with a cardboard tube and inside of that wrapped with even more foam wrapping.

I could imagine the most careless postal worker smashing this box with a baseball bat and nothing happening to its contents.

Why is it so important to me that a retailer goes and does what seems like a silly process? It shows that they actually care that you recieve their product in working and unbroken condition, something that a lot of retailers actually dont give a damn about, they got your money, its not their fault some shipping company smashed it, all sales final, etc, etc. For a retailer that doesn't charge you for shipping, to spend this much time makes them in my mind worthy of my bussiness, if I feel a bussiness respects me, then I see no reason to not treat them well in return.

This is something called, Good Bussiness Practices, something that you should always reward for, in a world of completely incompetent morons.

I think you may have converted me too.

Paradox fail.

actually not true, they were exactly right to say that, because by our time, they had sent the package tomorrow.

no time machine

Damn son. They're my next order. Or wait. They already knew that.

Edit: Just saw your post SACSlym. Righto then. Don't judge me...

[Irish]

Did you mean a fail at it being a paradox, or fail at making a paradox? A paradox is "a seemingly contradictory statement that may nonetheless be true" (dictionary)... So Black Hawk would be right depending on his meaning behind that statement


... sorry I'm going to go shoot myself now
