Yeah, just very sloppy. They could have easily packed it in something more suitable I'm sure, very annoying.

I hate it when that happens.
Why they couldn't use something with a bit of room and some packing around is beyond me, they actually wedged both games into the same cardboard envelope which was barely big enough for one, let alone two.

Just lack of care, seems to be the way things are going.

Yeah, like a box with some brown paper "packing"

Looks definitely better now, but a better cardboard, an appropriate packing and more care would have avoided this kind of unpleasant problem.

Exactly, and what @stephen_usher suggested would be way more appropriate.

At least the carts work fine.

Tell me about it.

Ive had to cancel having my car repaired, because the part needed that I ordered didnt arrive in time for the booked slot. (Actually, that was last Friday and it still isnt here. According to the tracking, its been 'sorting' at their hub since last Tuesday). :(

Not good at all, that's a pretty terrible delay.
