Today I got one of those incredibly tough padded envelopes from half way around the world. I noticed about 2" of the flap was open and the darn thing was empty.
Gone were the Omas small Ti parts that had once been there. I will admit (If pushed a bit) that I am a bit of a weight weenie on a couple of my bikes and have been sneaking these little treasures onto them for years. These missing bits had been a fair amount of money. I know the seller is all right (great guy, I've dealt with him several times), it was just one of those unfortunate things, but DARN!
Folks, do put an extra bit of strong tape over the flaps of any such envelope you send with parts in them.
