    It was just a simple question, I wasnt airing any dirty laundry or mentioning anyone, all I was looking to hear was "wow, thats rare" or "happens often, deal with it".

    The box was packaged in local Newsday newspaper, not brown packaging material so my guess is it was repackaged. A replacement bottle is on the way.

    If you know you put 3 KBSs in the box then there's really not much you can do, IMO. Unless you are subconsciously a scammer yourself.

    If you heard me sing, it would drive you to drink. Which I suppose is the point of this message board in the first place.

    This still shows the issues that can arise with 2 newer traders making a trade. It is best for a trader to complete their first few trades with a trade vet. The new trader ships first, the vet sends the return box. After a bunch of trades the new trader builds a solid rep. If you can count your number of trades on 2 hands, you do not have a solid rep yet.

    It's also probably a good idea for new traders to ship with experienced traders so that tips on trade packaging can be given.
