    A City Link finest moment

    I was amazed City link had the balls to try and pass this off to me this morning. considering i go daily to pick up works stock they seriously thought half a roll of tape could in any way cover up this mess !



    needless to say i rejected it and told them to send it back

    Looks like one of those new accordion printers.

    Re: A City Link finest moment

    From my point of view working in a mail order company, that looks like absolutely shoddy packaging on behalf of the sender. The box looks too thin and was only taped with a single line down the middle instead of a proper H seal to reinforce the corners.

    Hardly fair to blame the carriers for the senders fault....

    regardless of that we ship about 200 items a day with them and they have never raised the issued, althout short of a steel case it would not have lived through a drop like that !

    the boxing is epsons own refurb packaging along with high density memory foam lining that absorbs most knocks. (within reason)

    looks like two layer corrugated card to me, hardly thin and matches the specs of our 25kgs cartons.

    A single line of tape on both reverse and topside of the carton is sufficient provided non-tear tape is used.

    Looking at the end that's been taped and the damage to the carton which has clearly resulted from a drop, I'd rule damaged in transit if I got that parcel back.

    CL shouldn't have even attempted delivery imho.

    Re: A City Link finest moment

    technically they didn't attempt delivery as the destination is the depot for collection daily by moi

    the fact they even printed the signature tickets another matter.

    Hope my monitor doesn't turn up like that tomorrow

    That's assuming my monitor actually turns up tomorrow, of course - apparently the vendor has CCTV showing them loading it onto the TNT van on Thursday but it never made it to the depot...
