How NOT to package a shipment.

Re: How NOT to package a shipment.

So, I have a can of Great Stuff expanding foam left over from a project. I was thinking of taking a 15x15x15 box and placing the fully packaged box, then filling it in with foam. What do you guys think?

Do you even have to ask? You already know what we think!

Hey Chris,
that's exactly how my gallon of 80 arrived!

Thanks for the pens and pads btw!

What's wrong with my 'secure' packaging? ...hahaha...

Don't worry, it will be packed tight, but not to this extreme.

Of the hundreds of packages I've sent out, only one has broken in transit.

You know this one won't!

Glad everything made it there okay, Tom!

Well... Here is the second part WITH FOAM!!!

Step 10
Get another box (14x14x14), apply glue, and seal with box staples


Step 11
Find some expanding foam - my Lowe's had these on sale and they work great!


Step 12
Put foam on the bottom of the box. Then, place original container on top.


Step 13
Fill in sides with foam.


Step 14
Fill in top with foam and close up.


Step 15
Seal with brown paper tape (I wasn't at work today).


I bought a few cans of foam because they are really easy to use and work pretty well. Plus, they were on sale.

It's going out tomorrow, so I can't wait to hear about this...

How about some Gorilla tape to make "sure" it is secure?

LOL!!!

I'm surprised the box didn't burst. That great stuff is some powerful stuff.

(Note to future Great Stuff users... Don't use the regular version around doors and windows, use the low expanding door and window version. It will bow your window frames making windows stick and jamb.)

Wish I could see him trying to open that.

Your nutz. I bet he'll give up as soon as he opens the first box and has to start digging with a scraper. HAHAHAHAHAHA

Expanding foam...I have to remember that one!

Re: How NOT to package a shipment.

Well, I think I put too much foam in there... I hadn't sealed the top, so I turned it upside down to allow the weight to hold it shut.

After drying for four hours, the foam expanded so much that the top is now a convex shape and the sides bowed out atleast a centimeter. Also, there was foam coming out of every corner.


This package is the least of the scammer's worries. Myself and the other person who got scammed called his parents. Let me just say they weren't pleased with their son's activities...
