justintrask Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 Request from my wonderful mail carrier, her husband is a fisherman so she loves to see what I've been getting, but she was not thrilled for this one that she handed off with a bandaid on her thumb. "Please ask your friends to be more careful." I won't call out anyone, but at least wrap the hooks in painters tape or something.

That’s wild lol It happens more than you think. I'm going to offer up my solution for shipping, I haven't gotten any complaints. Use 2 padded USPS envelopes, 1 to wrap the bait, the other too put the wrapped bait in. Carefull wrapping bait so you don't fold the tail, it will hold it in place and protect it. Can fit up to 3 wrapped baits, add extra packing tape to the opening to be extra cautious. You can order them directly from the PO, so you have them on hand and ready, they are free.

SumoNinja Posted March 4, 2023 Report Share Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) I treat every buyer like he has aids and I'm shipping him a cure for aids and if anything is damaged, he dies or if the mailman gets poked they will contract aids I want to be your hero, not the reason u die or get aids Edited March 4, 2023 by SumoNinja RClark307, B_larkin3, BigBaitThirty and 5 others 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBaitThirty Posted March 4, 2023 Report Share Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) I often consider doing a bait packaging tutorial on YouTube or something. I always politely specify my packaging via request but it’s always with my fingers crossed… which for the most part gets honored but far too many unwelcome surprises arise as well. I had like 2k in a box once and they all came with an insane amount of package rub like the PO carrier was trying out for the next Mad Max movie. It made me sick to my stomach. It’s cosmetic yes but when you pay premium for baits you would like to acquire your own mojo on its pretty unacceptable. Some dudes package like they’re pissed you bought the bait or like you kicked their dog lmao. I didn’t know being raised with manners was a privilege I took for granted. I treat people how I want to be treated simple as that. Edited March 4, 2023 by BigBaitThirty Bucketmouth559 and dtxJ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know our Dollar General has them but they are $1 to $2 a piece depending on the size. LowSpinner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently got a bait and the side fins were sticking straight out after being bent the wrong way during transit. Packaging was essentially a bait stuffed into a paper USPS envelope with no padding or wrapping or anything. LOL. LowSpinner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
