This is fine, for a online store, but not good for the brick and mortar types... Make it too easy to open in there, and *poof* it's gone... Shoplifters love easy to open types..

Me? I ship several things to the house, and I love that all I have to do is open a box, slide out the styrafoam, and I have my magic item without a ton of cutting and cursing...

All I remember about Slick Rick is his eyepatch.

I once cut my femoral artery with a box cutter trying to open one of those impossible packages in my lap while sitting indian style. I nearly died.

It was mostly my fault but partially the crimped-sealed plastic shell around the $10 memory card I was attempting to extract. I was also on the phone and not paying full attention so it was doubly my fault.

How about if Amazon.com works on weeding out scummy sellers they fulfill shipments for.

I ordered a wireless printer and received a wired printer. The printer box read "wired" all over the box. Except for one small sticker partially covering the original barcode.

Amazon refused to send a replacement because "they just ship what the seller gives them to put on their shelves". They insisted I had to return the item then purchase another one. I returned the item and bought a printer from Newegg.com.

I left a negative feedback about the seller selling something they didn't have.

Amazon.com removed the negative feedback and claimed "Amazon.com is responsible for this error not the seller". So the seller doesn't suffer at all for their switching items after the sale.

CSB time: I ordered two replacement tires for my bike a few months ago (from Amazon) which were each packaged in a box larger than the 26" MTB tire itself. Tires were not even folded - just packaged up in two huge farking boxes - you would've thought I was receiving two flatscreen TV's instead of two MTB tires.

Even better are the stores that keep everything behind glass, but no employees around have keys to get into the cabinets. Perfect solution to shoplifting isn't it?

An interesting point about the shoplifting-deterrence thing - when I was in training for a job at Lowe's several years ago, we were told that more than 80% of the shoplifting losses were attributed to employee theft.

stuffy: Worst invention ever.

if you are careless and spill it everywhere sure. if you want great protection for your electronics it a good choice.

My opinion.. best rapper ever.
His stories and rhyming scheme are the best.. just flat out funny and bizarre..and complicated at times.
