Maude Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Could it have been a disgruntled employee on his last day packaging these? A good squelch around in the ears and throw a surprise in each box, that'll show 'em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuzzie Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 My comment was poor attempt at humour again - with teething problems they send a tooth, if they make a boob of a Coq-up of your Order..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaah haaa well let's hope they don't send anyone a fur cup ... Ooh dear Not sure what I expected from @Ashdown Engineering but disappointment is about right, I thought they might want to have them back to examine? But then they probably don't want to touch the filth they sent me either ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Animal remains are a prohibited item for sending in the post. You might want to contact whoever delivered the parcel to let them know what was in it. Maybe also your local environmental health department. IMO this is totally unacceptable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sale of real tortoiseshell was banned in 1973 so in that case yes. For the rest of it, IMO, you're just being contentious for the sake of it which is not conduct befitting a moderator. Personally if I'd received that package, I'd be making a much bigger fuss then the OP appears to be doing. As well as complaining to whoever sent that (Ashdown?) I'd have also been straight on to the company that delivered the parcel to let them know what they had been carrying as well as my local environmental health department to let them know what I had been sent.

Sorry if this is redundant, but it may be fitting to explain my use of these graphic thingies. The '' indicates 'tongue in cheek', usually, or, on occasion, 'Whatever'. The '...' is a pause for effect, followed by a '' to suggest laughing (as at a joke...), and a cheeky '', to show that it's a 'leg-pull'. Hope this helps.

Yes I get that, but making fun of a serious comment detracts from the thread IMO. Again not suitable conduct, IMO, from someone who is supposed to be a moderator.

Being a Mod doesn't stop me having an opinion, nor from posting comment, 'humorous' or otherwise. Lighten up, lad; lighten up. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think since you've already returned the earbuds (did you return the tooth too?) and got a refund that's probably it. However, if that had been me, I would have been in touch with the carrier to let them know what one of their customers had been sending using their services, my local environmental health department, as well as trading standards.
