This can't be good: improper packing of capacitors

These capacitors are supposed to be 10mm in diamater. The idiot seller shipped them as first class mail which has restriction including not more than 1/4" thick (6mm) so naturally the machine ate the caps. The seller tried to save about $1 in postage by not shipping them as first class package (thicker than 1/4") and ends up losing about $4 to reship replacements.

Cutting corner will bite people!!!

LOL, thanks for the picture, it's worth a thousand words. :wink:

I thought the envelope said worst class mail.

I would definitely request an exchange or refund.. That's brutal.

Your condensers got condensed! XD

Took me a little bit to understand what I was looking at. I thought they were some type of surface mount device at first.

Exactly! Consider it a lesson learned.

Check the instructions! Maybe these are the new inflatable ones. They ship flat and you have to inflate them before using. :slight_smile:
