I ordered four tins of the Vortex 44.75 grain pellets around Xmas time from Amazon. The day the mailman delivered them, it was pouring rain. My mailman, meant well, and wrapped the box from Amazon with a plastic bag, and knows I go to this one area on my property to access the community mailbox, so he thought he was doing me a favor by hacking the package over my fence to save me from going thru a gate to get my mail. Plus, with the holidays, I’m sure the bottom larger mailboxes for packages were full, so he truly thought he was doing me a favor, lol.
Well, for one, Amazon ships four tins of pellets loose, not bundled together in a box large enough for two pairs of size 12 work boots. Couple that with wet weather and a mailman bucking things underhand style, what I got was a soaked up box with all 600 pellets loose in the box, separated from their tins. I called amazon to complain, and yes they tried to tell me it was all the fault of the mail service, but I told the amazon rep that amazon too was at fault for the way it was packaged and boxed up. So, for the first time I realized the benefit of being a prime member. The rep said no worries, don’t even try sending the thrashed pellets back. It’ll be replaced with four new tins and at my doorstep within two days.
I lost probably 10 pellets from the original order, but I had to wash all the rest from the rain mud, dry them, and lube them. They were all salvaged except for 10 bent skirts, so all in all I saved all but 20 pellets. So, I got 580 saved, and another 600 on the way.
Wanna know how the replacement batch was sent? Four tins loose in a box large enough to hold two size 12 work boots! No change in shipment whatsoever.
