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. [Imgur]( --- End quote --- ) --- End quote --- looks like it would fit just fine diagonally |

--- Quote ---Tube fits perfectly diagonally --- End quote --- I have already stated this. That doesn't change the fact I've never had a Mouser IC order crammed this way. There has always been a few of inches leftover of empty space. I don't have another Mouser order. This bag is direct from the manufacturer. This is how my Digikey orders usually look, too. There's a full 4 inches of extra space in the bag with the tubes lined up straight. [Imgur]( --- End quote --- ) --- Quote ---And bag was folded by hand. --- End quote --- Wait, wut!? Some human traversed kilometers of conveyor belts to hand fold my bag? :popcorn: --- Quote ---It's a plastic band used to seal boxes --- End quote --- Are you being serious? They're 5 inches long and only stick to the box with adhesive. You'd know this if you could read english. --- Quote ---It would be way more useful if there was a photo of a whole box. --- End quote --- [edited to remove an unsafe suggestion] The other half of the box looks more or less exactly the same, but it's a mirror image of this half. It has a label with information I'd rather not have to photoshop out, let alone w/e other personal or business info that might be on my bench if I zoom out that far. So perhaps you could use your imagination. |

I'm sure someone cut itty pieces of brown tape and then carefully covered them with the fiberglass bandaids. Perfectly sensible.

But this obviously was used instead of paper tape. I don't see anything fishy with that. It's not bandaiding the box. --- Quote --- --- Quote ---And bag was folded by hand. --- End quote --- Wait, wut!?

There is no reason to leave the gap if you seal by sticker. |

Frankly, it looks like the box broke open during shipping and the shipper (not Mouser) taped the pieces together. Maybe not even the original box. |
