Dziś natknąłem się na fajny opis na jednej z brytyjskich aukcji na ebay, który pozwolę sobie zacytować:
Nic tylko kupować. Zwłaszcza na prezent urodzinowy lub świąteczny.Brytol Ebayer pisze:Due to a few irresponsible people shipping butane lighters and lighter fluid via post , postal authorities worldwide now have many restrictions on lighters being shipped in the postal system .
We believe that we comply with all restriction requirements brought in with the January rule change , however many of our Zippo shipments are being opened and checked by Royal Mail .
This is what happens to your Zippo when I post it :
1 . Taken by road to the Heathrow International Mail centre .
2 . The packet is checked for dangerous/restricted goods .
3 . Royal Mail considers the packet contains dangerous goods because it is marked in accordance with the rules ……. Zippo Lighter .
4 . Royal Mail send the packet to Belfast by road and sea for investigation .
5 . Royal Mail opens the packet and finds a Zippo Lighter that is new , empty and never filled .
6 . Royal Mail badly reseals the packet and either
A . Sends it back to Heathrow for eventual delivery to the buyer .
B . Sends it back to me for re-packing and resending to the buyer , and repeat steps 1 – 6 .
P.S. Właśnie zauważyłem, że ten opis jest na aukcji tego samego sprzedawcy, którego wspomniałem na wstępie. Świat zippo jest mały.
