$900 doesn"t buy you tape.

:rofl:

Right before I opened this a neighbor asked me how I was doing. I answered and asked him the same, to which he replied "if I was doing any better Id have to take something for it" I was still laughing when I came inside to open this package.

Here is to hopping you guys get a laugh out of my misfortunes, I know I did. :)

It is really not like zazoo to ship something like that. My thoughts would be that it may have been opened for inspection or something.

I hate people that dont know how to ship a package. *facepalm*

PayPal? If so I would file a dispute immediately, PM the seller and tell him that you want to talk it out and are interested in some sort of recompensation for any damage (or the risk of damage, really) to the marker and parts you purchase.

No matter what, be sure to point out in his/her feedback that you spent $900 on a completely custom marker and the guy shipped it by tossing small parts in a big box with no padding, packaging, wrap, bags, or even tape. If this seller thinks that shipping in this manner is acceptable because your marker wasn't damaged, what happens when somebody else buys something from him and it arrives in pieces?

I would raise so so so much hell :mad:

It amazes me how "noobs" and non-paintballs on eBay are so much better at packaging markers than the so-called "experienced players" you buy from... This guy must know something about the sport if he's got a custom y-framed pneumag with an anno'ed X-valve :confused:

I don't think any of the parts sustained damage so no need for a witch hunt.

Punkncat. Ive never had a problem in the past. The problem this time was 2 fold. Big hard bubble wrap and very very little tape, scotch at that. The bubble wrap naturally wants to flatten out and without packaging tape or a "band" of scotch tape that's exactly what it did. Then all the pieces had a party in the bottom of the box.

Frizzle Fry See my explanation of what I think happened above. I'm not all that upset. I was going to chip in with shipping just to help but I have changed my mind. :rofl:
