Pack your bags...

One of the most common problems that we have while moving your worldly goods around is how they are packed. Often, these items are shipped from the other side of the world; then sailed across the oceans for your convenience (assuming all is calm at sea). They are then stored in a warehouse until someone decides to send them out to a shop or a distribution van; where they get crammed in with lots of other items along the way. I spent ten minutes this morning cursing a tool manufacturer who had decided to place their goods on display in the most awkward manner in prominent packaging. Why does the box have to be so narrow? Honestly, if you just put one box back to back to the other; it would have made it a lot easier than having two long plastic case monstrosities that fell out of the box as soon as it was tilted at a different angle and refused to slide back in again. Eventually I had to take all the packaging cardboard out and tape the box shut. So the happy customer will instantly see that someone's already opened it and will demand another one to remove any doubt of parts being missing. Pack your boxes properly please people!
