How not to send a box

[shane higgins]

Don't ever leave batteries in the batteries compartment when sending a box
A ebayer left 2 batteries in the battery compartment
and sent the kaboom to me
The noise they made rattling around in side
it was heart breaking as my heart was beating faster and harder
all i was thinking its the strap ,no the power cord , no the remote
heart was pounding all the way home
As i have read all your stories and had it happen to me
but i got it home photoed every thing unwrapped it

all was good
thank f..k for that
the offending batteries

are the batteries working? :sin:




Yeah,great luck it was only that!

 

[Superduper]

The EXACT same thing happened to me. I thought for sure it was trashed.

Lucky for me it was just the AA battery. Whew!

That's a scary sound for sure, glad it was just the batts!

I had a seller leave batteries in a radio when shipping. The transformer broke loose from the case, smashed open the battery compartment and the batteries acted like wrecking balls in the radio. :'-(

Yep had that happen to me and it puts a big lump in your throat. Now get the rest of the batteries and get that beast going.

When I got my packed Aiwa cs600 at the post office I was soooo scared to open it! The box was all crackling :annoyed: and I was so happy to find a broken egg radio on top of Aiwa the seller thought it is better to send trash to me, than throw it away

What is wrong with people? :angry: Is there no common sense left? It's illegal to ship batteries in the first place!

I'm glad this story had a happy ending!

Time to JAM!

It's probably best to left that subject alone!
