There's nothing common about "Common Sense" ! ! !

I recently had a seller ship a "Ford Gumball" machine base & pole in a box together with nothing more than 8 - 10 plastic Mountain Dew bottles ! ! !
I was glad to see everything still in the box because I could actually remove everything without even opening the box ! ! !

I hope this work out for you...

When I received the RC cooler, it was obvious that USPS used it for fork lift and drop training.  The body man that worked out the dents spent a tremendous amount of time on it, but it looks great now.  Wish I had kept the picture of it as I opened the box it came in.

Amazing....the lack of concern of some people. So how hard are they to disassemble?  I have never worked on one so this will be my first cooler.  Oo

Well........I guess it could be worse, you could have paid top dollar for a set of mint coolers and then had them shipped from this clown.  wow

Yes that is so true. I think I can repair them and for the price I didn't get hurt too bad.

NEVER-EVER-EVER let them ship anything of even remote value of a dead cat via the USPS, they are complete IDIOTS & I say that with firm commitment.

I have never had an issue with any shipper...it is ALL in how it is packaged! Package and label it clearly and it will get to it's destination in one piece.

I think this was just a combination of several diffrent factors, little to no packaging material, inadequate box and just bad handling. I share the blame as I should have asked the seller those questions. But I will learn from this and will know better next time.
