Default sigh....

I have this slick little 9.6V Makita flahslight.
uses the same batteries as my cordless drill, really bright.
except that is when the bulb burns out.
it's older so local stores don't stock the bulbs for it anymore.
So I found a place online that has the bulbs online and ordered some.

So the genius in shipping puts the glass bulbs in a flat envelop and ships them.

I amazed that 3 of 4 made it intact.

I bet the shippers know the girls in our area who walk in the middle of the road, even when cars are heading their way.

Damn, you beat me to it... I was going to ask if the shipper just had a situation with his daughter and her friend where they got hit by a train.

probably a relative of the person who shipped our plant stand(s) from Ikea a fews years back, before there were any in NE.

The stand is basically a two level metal frame in which 7 10"x10" ceramic tiles set in......they shipped it all in a cardboard box........tiles were all laying on the bottom of the box, with no wrapping for anything.....surprisingly 1 of the 7 made it unbroken.

Of course we called to complain, and they said to just keep it, we'll send you another.......which by the way was the last one they had.

This time, 2 of the tiles made it unbroken.......they just said to keep that one too, and we wont' charge you anything because that's the last one. So I went to home deport and bought some tile for the price of about 1/2 the cost of one plant stand.
