A few weeks ago I won an auction on the feebay for a couple of Heroclix figs. When I received them, I had to laugh due to the strangest shipping container that I have ever gotten in the mail. Frankly I am absolutely astounded that the Post Office accepted and shipped it. What is this mystery container, you ask?


A common soup can...



That's it right there. This was taken after I had opened it, but the lid was taped shut with that rubber band around it. I had to laugh, but my stuff was fine, and there was no soupy smell. So I don't know what kind it was, though I did sniff at it to find out.

So, now I must ask. What is the strangest container that you have ever shipped or received an item in.

Strangest one wins 50 internets.

LOL! That's is great! I am amazed that they let that in the system as well.

Well all my packages have been pretty tame compared to that. I did get a oatmeal box.... but that was about it.... the rest just normal boxes.

I got a Wii system and games shipped to me in a box that originally housed an Artificial Leg...

I've never received, but have seen, alot of big things shipped without boxes. golfclubs in airline cases. tires with out rims.

i'll think about it at work adn post more when I get home.

I had a miniature (a feebay purchase) shipped to me in a tall, narrow asparagus can.

I had a shipment from here sent in a clear plastic container (like a large rectangular tupperware style bowl). It was a cheap, fragile plastic and shattered to all get out. Everything arrived, though, because the entire container was covered in packing tape, so it held all the shattered little remnants together.
