Hello this seems to be becoming a trend with Shipping from international shippers (Venezuela, Argentina, and Spain in my case.)   I had items shipped from each of these countries and these people need a lesson in how to ship anything. First I had a watch shipped from Spain, the watch came in a regular envelope nothing else. No bubble not even a paper towel. Just dropped in the envelope and off it went. The watch crystal was broken and the guy from Spain can't understand what he did wrong?

Next I bought a little Cubana airline pin from a guy from Argentina for $6.00 he first sent it registered which meant I had to sign for it. Then he sandwiched it between a 2 inch square of foam about the size of a matchbox. And wrote in basically miniature handwriting my address. Bless the U.S. post office for accepting it. I had to go to the post office to pick it up and the lady at the post office couldn't stop laughing at how small the package was and that it didn't get lost at the post office.

Last I bought another watch from a lady in Venzuela and she must of gotten lessons from the guy in Spain. The watch I guess was thrown in a envelope registered. Meaning I would have go pick it up at the P.O. But when the postman handed me the envelope it was empty. The tape holding it together it was like post it glue it peeled off real easy..

Now I am not trying to beat up hispanics I am Cuban.

It  seems to me that the most common thread here is that they seem not to care how they package and send the item that I paid for. I mean there is cheap, but this is way beyond, just carelessness and cheapness.

I have purchased a lot of items from around the world and the least people will do is put it a box no matter how small and cheap it is.The laziness of the people above astounds me.

Please use the "ask the seller a question" link before you bid read their feedbacks and always buyer beware or you will get what you want smashed or lost in the mail. Take care. Hope this helps.
