    eBay packages as shipped from different regions:

    China - ePacket, no packing slip, item miraculously undamaged

    Eastern Bloc - World's flimsiest cardboard box, newspaper packing, item got wet at some point

    USA - Cardboard box damaged to an improbable degree, bubble wrap and chunks of foam, packing slip generated by some Pitney-Bowes owned software service, "please rate 5 stars"

    Japan - Meticulously wrapped, packing slip, hand-written thank you note, origami crane.

    @North I think you forgot a few things for the Japanese package: an extra layer of packaging, under which there is an additional layer of packing, under which, for some reason, exists yet another layer of packaging

        @aud I just ordered 4 model kits from different sellers in Japan and I'm very excited to see if this trend continues.

            @OctaviaConAmore @North in Japan there's no such thing as too much packaging

              @North yes, anything else from Japan would have seriously surprised me.

                @OctaviaConAmore @Canageek @North oh, it happened in Germany too (from Amazon): plastic packaging, around massive bubblewrap, around more plastic packaging. So secure! Inside: a plastic bowl or some silly thing. 🤦‍♀️

                  @North @fancysandwiches currently living in Jordan, and I have restrictions on what I can get by mail via American government channels so frequently have stuff mailed to my local address.

                  This post is remarkably accurate (that said most of my US based packages come un-damaged), but the handwritten note with the origami crane from Japan? Yuuup

                    @North

                    I once ordered some clothing item From AliExpress and after leaving 3 or 4 stars snd description why i got a phone call from the seller explaining why it was like it was, i forget the details. We ended up chatting -- in their excellent english -- about daily life here and there and in the end, i did change my review.

                        @North@chaos.social ebay packages from Japan sometimes come with candy and other freebies in my experience. I also got some free Haribo gummies from a German ebay seller once.
