Pfffffft! Sorry... soda just went through my nose:P I think this is actually one of the worst wrap jobs I've ever seen - if not THE worst. Truly amazing:P |

What is there to say except I'm sorry this happened? FWIW, I suspect a majority of members who've been here over a year have received a book like this at one time or another. I hope it was readable, at least. Still glad you marked it RWAP! |

Wow, what part of the "don't tape the wrapper directly to the book" direction did the sender not understand? I've never gotten anything that badly wrapped before. |

You know, it's really just AMAZING that a book can arrive relatively intact with a wrap job like that -- and other people carefully wrap in plastic, paper and lots of tape and their books end up looking like they were jammed part way into a wood chipper. . . |

Yikes! That's a scary wrapping job! It's even scarier that someone thought it was okay to mail or treat a book that way! Last Edited on: 9/15/08 10:59 PM ET - Total times edited: 2 |

*jaw dropping* That's awful! There's only one other one that I can remember being so badly wrapped. It was posted here a few months ago. I wish I could find it. Why do people think that is acceptable? OY! |

I'm the wife, and yes, I received that book in the mail today. I was floored, but no, it isn't a practical joke, unless the joke's on me. LOL I've been a member for about 2 and a half years, and I hope this is the first and last time I receive a book wrapped like this. I can laugh about it tonight, but when it arrived this afternoon, I was not happy. Will see what tomorrow brings and what the response to my PM is. |

I have to ask..does the sender have a public profile where you can see how long he or she has been a member? I am so curious to know how long he or she has been around. Ok, even if this was a new member...really...how could you think the book would arrive safely?!?!?! I really don't know why I am so shocked..I've heard some doozies. Glad you can laugh about it now...maybe you can still laugh about it a week from now also..lol. |

OH good grief!! When you hear back from the person let us know. I think we are all waiting for the response. What explanation did you give as to why you are marking it RWAP? |

I've received 3 or 4 books wrapped with this much love, and not much else. I remember that one came from a new member, but it was more shocking when I discovered that one came from someone who has been here longer than I have. Which makes them LONG time members. The bigger surprise is that even with such a sucky wrapping job, none of the books I've received like this have been damaged. Wierd. Kerry |

I'm amazed the Post Office would even accept it! |

OMFG. I cannot believe: 1. Someone would think that was even remotely acceptable. 2. That the PO accepted it 3. That it arrived in as good condition that it came in. I certainly hope they respond to your PM and learn by their error. |

How much damage was done to the book once the tape was removed??

Let's see if I can answer all the questions. The member joined in May, so she may not have had many requests. I told her in the PM that the book would have been good condition if it had been wrapped correctly and suggested she read the HC on how to wrap a book. Her response this morning was an apology, and that this is the first time she's used the wrapper to mail a book. The book is sticky where I peeled the tape off but because she used scotch tape (another no-no if I remember right) it isn't damaged too badly. Enough where it is unpostable, but it could have been a lot worse. I figure I'm lucky, and pity the next person to get a book from her if she hasn't learned from this. |
