I won a bargain on ebay recently, it was a common boxed regular wheels but very nice and it had been listed poorly in the YY category. Anyway, it arrived from Denmark this morning in a padded envelope. So what state do you think it was in?

Hi John I know what you feel like I cann 't believe anybody would pack it like that. I had one come like that a couple of weeks ago. I asked the lady to put it in a firm box for me, the postman managed to wedge it through the letter box I emailed the seller she replied she didn't have time to pack it in a box, got my money back but still lost £8.00 on postage Pete

Ouch.....Sorry Jb. Some sellers are born idiots! They simply lack common sense which is not so common after all.

Thanks for the comments everyone, they sum up how I felt when I saw the envelope. I've had two or three before like this and you know exactly what to expect. But wait! there is a happy twist, I just can't explain how it survived so perfectly:
