@nsumner (Nathaniel) is a great seller but a big paper waster. 😀 We've all seen it but this is classic OverPacking:

FedEx Medium Box, FedEx Small Box, Hard Plastic Watch Transport Box yields the DON BEZEL;

now, you must make sure and check all the internal components of that bezel were not damaged during transit....☕

Did the gum come with it? That's my favourite flavour!

That's irony in its purest form, overpack an already beaten up bezel, so that it won't get hurt in transit....😵‍💫

Quite funny when you think about it 😀

Too late 😉 I believe there's either one in the box or on his wrist 😀

Parcel Pro, double box, coffin container, that's the MO of a guy used to shipping expensive items.

Overpacking gets an award? Hey @STANDY, hey @Hijak - nominate the guy who shipped a few watches to you in the last year or so. 😜
Dennis I wish I had taken pictures of that four watch deal we did last year! That was the most impressive packing job I've seen and I've had watches sent to me from some serious packers.😉 Each one individually packed in bubble wrap and a plastic ziplock then wrapped in more bubble wrap then put in a wine bottle shipping box containing styrofoam and heavy duty cardboard, it all fit together like a puzzle and took over twenty minutes to unpack everything (there were four watches and two watch boxes).

I have edited the first picture out as the barcode was still visible, all the data of the shipper and receiver Is available to people in the know.

That's under packing.

@ulackfocus is the package King
Had the same as @Hijak with the wine bottle packaging that took ages to unwrap to get to the goods
Then
I got this with one watch in it for transit.
Extra gift of a super cool watch case
(Think he's saying is he packs them so they could be dropped from the plane for delivery )
