Dennis Eusebio’s Story

So, long story short...
While Dennis Eusebio was Selling my exhaust
Dennis Eusebio made the mistake of
not keeping the original box
My Advice to You is
make sure to keep all the packing materials that came with the products you buy
Here's the whole story
I'm pretty accustomed to selling my car stuff online so I tend to keep my boxes for almost everything I buy knowing that I may sell it later on. So I buy this one exhaust and I think to myself that I"ll never get to a point where i'll need to sell this thing. So I throw away the box.
Fast forward 4 months later and I'm selling it and sitting in a UPS store getting subtely raped by shipping costs and boxing costs. So remember to keep the box for everything you buy, no matter how much space it takes. At least the girl at the counter was pretty cute.

Should have stolen some boxes from behind a supermarket. You of all people should have realized it.
Also You forgot the trademark to "subtely raped"
Also I know you looked up how to spell subtely because I did to, it looks friggin' odd
I wish to have the original box when I sold my old big epson 3000 printer. I search around for a big box to fit it with no success. I ended making one by myself. During the shipment the box broke and they damage the printer. I gave $100 discount to the buyer to avoid a negative feedback. :(
I don't think either of you looked it up because it's spelled "subtly." So says Webster.
my advice is to never ship anything in the UPS store.. create the shipment online, have UPS swing by and pick it up. If you estimates/weight/etc are wrong, they might bill you a bit extra, but you won't get raped (not even subtly).
i shipped out some wheels in a UPS store and it cost me $180+.. I shipped out similar wheels (not boxed, cardboard and tape only) for $40 a wheel from pickup. didn't have to go through the boxing hassle, didn't have to drag it to a store and saved some money!
by the way, i could easily relate about 5 stories regarding shipping mistakes to this one.. including trying to create my own box for an exhaust!
heh, i cannot keep boxes. right after i install anything on the house or car, the wife asks: "will you be needing this box (at the same time throwing the darn thing already to the trash can).
