Package from Amazon
What is wrong with the picture below, other than its terrible camera phone picture quality?
Hint: this is as far as the door opens.
Answer lies after the break.
Basically, the postman has access to a back panel from which he can slot things into any of the mailboxes in the same section. The package happened to be just the right size to fit into one compartment but he didn’t take into consideration of the piece of metal sticking out from the back of the front access panel. And if you had ordered from Amazon before, you would know that the packaging they use is considerably rigid…
I did manage to take it out in the end. But it wasn’t pretty.

Haha tj han, I guess you are right.
Does it mean that we can request the town council for bigger letterboxes?
So DM is that thing in good condition or is it damaged?

I got my haruhi limited V3 from overstock and it came in a while ago…. sadly I haven’t been home so I can’t watch it *sob sob*……… I can understand why they put the metal bar there….. but it seriously is oversized 8Þ…….. wouldn’t it’ve been so much easier to ask someone who worked there about the situation or was that even possible?

its overbuild to stand abuse/prolonged usage i guess. and its part of the design to not allow junk/spam mail into your mailbox. personally i love it because i used to have loads of junk mail.
basically there are two types. the one which dm has and the one which i have.
dm has the panel at the back while mine has it in front on the same side.

R1? Why not R2? Or did you already have the R2 ones and are now spending even more money on the R1s? Wow, rich dude. I’m satisfied with just my own R2 Haruhi genteibans.
But yeah tough luck on Mr Postman.

Oh and to add on, I’m not sure how u forced the thing out, but I think a good way would be to use a sharp penknife, a pair of scissors, some skill and patience. Although your neighbors may look at you funny while walking by, but once you spend some time in cutting out a hole (carefully of course), you can just pull out the dvd and bubble wrap before yanking out the empty box.

Heheh…It’s Funny ^.^
How did you get it out then? brute force?
October 3rd, 2007 at 10:03 pm

Discovering that the package got stuck in the mailbox — PRICELESS
LOL~ Thank goodness i have never experienced that before. I usually use Vpost when i order stuffs from overseas. Not to mention that some Amazon marketplace merchant don’t ship overseas.
