THAT'S what happened to my parcel. Good to know...
Background story: I ordered a few books on amazon a while ago, and the parcel got delivered last friday. To make a long story short: the mailman just gave it to me without saying a single word and after he was gone I discovered the parcel was damaged. Thankfully, only two books were damaged. But oh my, they were destroyed. To a point were it's impossible to read them.
I don't have the slightest idea how something like that can possibly happen. The forces which must've been applied to lead to this... but yeah, you probably get where I'm going at, don't you?
Odds and ends:
* I don't have the slightest idea how else to verbalize E. Hondas sayings when he does those attacks. I didn't find a page that covers that stuff, either (which, quite honestly, came as a surprise to me :D).
* The logo on the post office peoples shirt is the logo of "Die Post", austria's biggest mail delivery... thing (however you call that)
* I don't know what mail stocks look like. I believe they look somewhat like this, but I'm not sure.
I don't trust the USPS any more after a package that was supposed to arrive in three days took several weeks to show up. For some reason it was shipped back and forth across the country several times...
i having never worked for a parcel service can only apologize for my good friend E. Honda. he was having some issues after the last street fighter tournament. he finally flipped out after he too received a book catastrophically damage from the post man and took it out on them. he didn't realize he had just lent himself to the vicious cycle :(
the real story involves the staff at amazon alternately playing football and hockey with your package to 'determine it's durability' before deeming it unworthy, dumping it a bin from the top of the building and shipping it off to you via tying it to a newly-wed's bumper who in turn hands it off to a parachutist who i'm pretty sure drops it from 50,000 feet into the post office's dumpster...
at least I'm pretty sure that's what happened to MY books... seeing as how one of them had the cover and spine completely separated from the pages and the HARD COVER ripped into three pieces... yeah i don't know either
Maybe that's why my parents never use Amazon. That or they're so damn old-fashioned they don't want to use anything else other than eBay. I have to do some persuading. A lot of stuff I like (t-shirts especially) can only be found on the internet.
ouch. I remember getting a book on 3d modeling in blender and the CD that came with it had partially melted.
Hope you get your money back on those two books.
