Don't care either. It just annoys me a bit when FUD is spread.

I did not say that machine puts label on the bag. However from the video, packing list is placed into box, and box is sealed by machine. In any case, human or machine, component picking and placing into the box happens far far away on the opposite ends of conveyor. So suspecting that ordeal happened starting from picking components is a bit ridiculous.

At any rate, they would need to bypass like a kilometer of conveyor and bypass many processes for your suspicions to be true. Who the hell would do that? Not to say someone who picks components cannot print a shipping label. You would need a whole organised crime group just for the sake of your bent box.

Totally agree if it's about you.

A frend of mine ordered a lot of stuff from Mouser some time ago, and when it arrived a lot of resistors were all of the wrong value.
He complained and Mouser promptly sent new resistors, with the same wrong value.

It seems that in the Mouser warehouse a whole box of resistors got the wrong barcode or whatever, and I wonder to how many people those resistors were sent before it got corrected.

Bit sloppy, but it's only one out of  a gazillion products from Mouser.
Mistakes get made, and somehow you gotta keep on living anyhow.

I remember one guy I worked with, after it happen three times he ordered one more than they had is stock so it would be
restocked  with the correct part

Unlike you, I have better things to do. But I'm gonna ignore that for 20 minutes to hear your superior theory.

I'm sure you have some reasonable theory that doesn't include my going out and buying yellow stickers and mocking up a damaged box just to win an internet argument with Wraper, the infamously smartest guy on EEV forum.


If the unbent tubes had been in there, straight, it would not even have fit, normally. I have never seen my Mouser IC's bagged like this in 15 years and thousands of orders. Unbent tube laid over the bag for reference, end lined up with the seam at the bottom of the bag.

Here's a closeup of the seam of the box. 5 of these things. I'm sure someone cut itty pieces of brown tape and then carefully covered them with the fiberglass bandaids. Perfectly sensible.

Seriously, what the heck does this even mean? You saying a machine packages all of Mouser's orders, and this machine fixes itself whenever it has a problem?

*Additional information: When you squeeze the box end-to-end, there are 2 opposing creases approximately the same distance apart as the bends in the IC tubes. But you would have to take my word for it.

Tube fits perfectly diagonally, even with some space left. And bag was folded by hand. Nothing wrong with that.

It would be way more useful if there was a photo of a whole box. And it's not a fiberglass tape. It's a plastic packing strap used to seal boxes, you need a special machine/tool to apply that. Very good for automation. Sometimes I get those on boxes from TME. Maybe they started to use them instead of a brown paper tape. Using both tape and straps simultaneously would be waste of time and material. Now it seems that box simply arrived bent during shipping process and nobody ever tampered with it  :-DD.
