This morning Fedex dropped off a box but I was a little surprised. The package looked like something out of the garbage bin. Was it a joke?
This was a shipment of a Scanner-Nikkor ED lens from an eBay seller. All 4 corners were torn open but thankfully the lens was still inside, tucked into a roll of bubble wrap and a-okay.
I don’t fault Fedex at all for the damage to the box. The shipper used a 0.5mm thick (measured) re-used carton and that was the issue. At least the guy used bubble wrap around the lens!
For the record, the shipper, https://www.ebay.com/usr/nikon_coolscan replied to a message about the damage, “evert tenth package is really trashed have no control of that.”
