So I ordered 3 new key scissors for my powerbook...paid $27 all said and done, $4 of that for "shipping", and here's what I got;


professional envelope shipping


so that's where my $4 went...


and the lil bastards themselves...but wait..


one of them was somehow broken in the shipping process, how could that be considering the careful packaging?

 

This is .

Who did you order from?

Give them hell!

 

that sucks!!!

 

I got the parts from PBParts.com...I'm gonna e-mail them the picture and ask that they take care of it in a professional manner, we'll see how it goes from there

 

What do those "scissor" thingies do?

 

what are those key accessories supposed to do exactly?

 

They cut paper. Haven't you played "paper, scissors and rock"?

 

the key cap (part you type on) clips on to the scissor, and then the little rubber part you see below provides the spring of the keys. The scissor also ensures that the key goes up and down in a uniform motion

 

The $4 includes 'handling' too, I bet!

Shipping markups may be a good portion of their profit.

 

That is such !! The Genius bar fixed one of mine for free!
