Hear, their, everyware ;)
I buy a LOT of stuff online, and I never really have any problems with anything other than Photo stuff, be it delays through the rather dubious 'In Stock' they all like to use... (In Stock, means dear traders, YOU have the item in stock, not someone else that YOU have to wait to get it from..) or damaged packaging (Touch wood, even though the packaging has been nuked, nothing has actually been broken or even damaged)

Latest to arrive by the skin of it's teeth:









This arrived by Royal Mail Special Delivery this morning.. On Thursday they 'delivered' an 80-200 F/2.8 Nikkor that was in a similar state. I just cannot figure why it only happens with Camera gear, has anyone else noticed this trend? :mad:
 
I'll be taking prints of those to the local sorting office on Monday doubt it will do much good though, also sent an email with the .jpg's to the vendor that actually sent the item. It's always a miracle when I find the stuff inside undamaged from the wreckage that used to be it's packaging.
 
I think you're on to something there Aod, I was racking my brains trying to figure out why it only happens to Camera gear and nothing else, it was really starting to bug me hence the thread and you've just made sense of it, good jorb! I can at least switch off paranoia mode now that the Posties were seeing the return addresses and playing footie with the packages.
