My first package I ever received from TF was my Wacky Wednesday one. It was shipped via DHL and it was packed with paper shredding as padding. I have no problem with this, but this may be considered "unprofessional" by some (I've read "Wtf?!" on Slickdeals).
Odd how the package you received by USPS was torn open. I got a package from USPS (just packaging supplies that USPS gives away for free; I need it when I sell stuff) and one of the sides were ripped open too. THis is not the first time with USPS.
But, I too, agree. TF should consider packing the box (box that is a considerably fit size) with some peanuts, bubble wrap, or keep up with the air pillows.
25 flings and counting!
THING FLING...THEY'RE GGGGREAT!
