RANT: "Please excuse the crappy packaging job..."

I will say thanks for taping your cups shut. I have had sellers not do that and had to search through the newspaper shreddings to find the animal somewhere in the box. Which is usually in a corner under one on the cardboard lips.

Your best is all that you can do. But that's Paul's point. His complaint is about people knowingly doing a half assed, sorry assed job.

It only takes that happening once to learn that lesson. I tape all the way around to the top of the container with electrical tape. If the animal is going in a "snake bag", it is doubly sealed with non-loosening ties that the recipient needs to cut to remove. Simple precautions for sure, but well worth the extra few seconds needed.

Can you imagine a doctor saying "Please excuse the clamp I left attached to your small intestine?"
