Pretty happy with the delivery times as well, posted in the US on the 29th December and Australia Post delivered it today, 7/1 our time.<br /><br />Only a couple of minor tears that didn't even get close to affecting the holding capacity of the box. The actual box inside was unscathed. <br /><br />The packaging was much appreciated by my 3 year old daughter, her only request was that there should have been less of the pink foam and more of the really fun bubble wrap for her to stomp on and pop.

I was actually worried about the items inside so I took some photos before I opened it in case something was damaged. I received it about 3 days ago. The box had been torn open and taped up, presumably by the USPS.<br /><br />To be fair, I had ordered some other items that were shipped inside the same box, scrap leather, barrel nuts, end cap barrel nuts, and a Skraper, so there wasn't as much room inside for packing. When I picked up the USPS box there was a whole lot of clanking around, which with the damage had me worried.<br /><br />If you would like the pictures I would be happy to send them to you.<br /><br />As it turns out, my fears were unfounded and everything inside was in fine shape.<br /><br /><br />Cheers, and Happy New Year<br /><br />Chris HarringtonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430989134966768004.post-38941204841762178312013-01-02T11:42:51.835-06:002013-01-02T11:42:51.835-06:00There was very minor damage to the USPS box and no...There was very minor damage to the USPS box and none to Glide/Retro and Crisscross boxes inside.

The little baggie that held the screws (I'm assuming) looked like it was beaten with a ball peen hammer. Incredibly everything seems to be here. Haven't got to the vise yet.

I was therefore extra careful to make sure I wasn't missing any parts. I wasn't, and that was entirely due to the fact that ya'll had packed it well. My barrel nuts were in a ziploc of their own, and the CrissCross was in its own box. I'd normally be inclined to say that your packaging was a little over zealous, and perhaps wasteful, but in this case I'd be wrong :0) Grumpy Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04892378462455520349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430989134966768004.post-67799344574601439332012-12-31T15:22:51.675-06:002012-12-31T15:22:51.675-06:00I regularly ship turning blanks and other stuff wi...I regularly ship turning blanks and other stuff with the USPS flat rate boxes for the same reasons. The boxes aren't indestructible, but they are pretty good. I pack the boxes so things won't move too much, haven't had any trouble.<br /><br />In my case, they are a great deal for me and my customers. I even try to cut my blanks to fit the boxes.Luke Townsleyhttp://www.lukeswoodart.comnoreply@blogger.com
