Poor Packaging: Outdoor Sports and Games

They arrived in a cereal-like net in a box) in a blistered letterbox. As soon as I took the net out of my pocket before putting it down or cutting it, a piece of glass fell out. On my bed. (My hand looks awful; I know) Luckily I have an unusually sized pair of tweezers that are perfect for reaching out and grabbing the ball as I didn't want to cut my hand with the broken glass. I found four more pieces of broken glass in the net, some of which landed on my bed. All other bullets shown here have deep grooves. (the two separate from all others are the missing parts). They are round and the right size to potentially be caused by other balls. They really need better packaging. Almost every ball has pockmarks. I can't find a better way to explain this. It looks like you would expect poorly packaged glass balls to look like they probably will after pressing. There are lots of color patterns on the inside making it obvious that it's cheap but I guess be honest. Plus, you get what you pay for. But the packaging needs improvement. This is actually very dangerous. Also, I only received 190 balls (including broken and damaged ones). For me, that's not a big problem as I didn't need a certain number of them. But there are a few reasons someone might want an exact number, and they aren't. not very.tl;dr: Packaged in a thin bubble mailer, most of them show rough handling and two were dangerous and had to be thrown away. Several balls were also shorted.

Pros
  • High score for support and durability from testers
Cons
