How not to ship a thumper

So I bought an metadyne thumper
Off a fellow OG'er
Ner had any problems with anybody
Until this, buddy ships this marker in a evnelop
Completely set up with the barrel off, well this rips
The envelop which in turn coats my marker in insulation
Which apperntly is in side the evnelop


How I received this marker





Now after some cleaning I have this






Ship in proper packages and bubble wrap
The marker, I'm not new to paintball
I can put a marker back together if need be.....

Lol... I thought you got one from factory... And were going to say "Don't ship a gun with tons of problems that haven't been worked out."

I suppose you could also think of it as "how to make a profit on 'shipping cost'". :P

wathchutalkinbout? that's speed fuzz--makes it pump faster. Sorry that happened to you man. It's such a lack of attention to detail that leads to disappointment. Sounded like from you post that it wasn't scratched/damaged at least. Hopefully that fuzz is the last problem you have with that thumper.

And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway.

Wow, those are ugly markers...but they don't deserve that poor of a shipping container.

Well nothing cosmetically wrong with the marker
And every works just as it should
But will be taking it out to test it
Later on tomorrow to see how it shoots
The problems will show them selfs there and then

Thats a shame. I just got a PGP in a similar fashion but without the padding in the envelope. Came to me in a thin cardboard envelope held together by elastics. My mailman was really nice about it. He apologised and everything. That is no way who ship a marker.
