Default Package arrived...

Came home today and there's a massive box in the hall, about 30 litres or so. Exciting! Opened it up, lots of those big bubble things. Took them out. More bubbles. Threw them out of the box with impatient glee. More bubbles. No! Wait! There's something in here"

2 indicator bulbs, and a stock note saying "We'll send the rest later".

M&P- destroying the planet one oversized box at a time.

In the world which i work, reprographics, i laugh at your box!! I had a huge, and i mean, a 6' person could have curled up in it, box delivered a couple of weeks ago. And what was in this monster? A Tower PC, lots of moulded foam. The keyboard/screen etc was in another oversized box!!

What with this and the boxes out envelopes come in..its shocking i can tell ya.

Anyway, whay on earth are you buying your indicator bulbs from M&P?

Hard to find a small 21W bulb that'll fit in a Buell indicator, y'see. Plus I was buying some other Sekrit Stuff.

They pack stuff so it won't get damaged and you moan? No pleasing some folk!

If you have some bodywork arrive and it's in one sheet of bubble wrap and brown paper, somebody, somewhere, needs a kicking.

Just got regular clear 21W ones- but all the ones I could find were the big 'uns like in the SV, they didn't fit...

Science is the worst for that, we get deliveries of 1 small vial containing 100 microlitres of stuff in boxes about the size of a large TV. Totally pointless.
