The shipping on these… absolutely hilarious. Surpasses even the worst of pre-mothership woot shipments. Well done mothership. Way to screw up something so easy….
How a shipment arrives from Walmart: everything packed and aligned neatly within a single box, air bags and spacers present throughout empty spaces to ensure all items are protected.
How a shipment arrives from Amazon: one single can of tuna (out of an order of a 12-pack) tumbling around inside a 12x9x6-inch box. The can is somehow magically bent at an almost perfect 90-degree right angle. The only other thing inside the oversized box is a single piece of packing paper that’s about the size of a napkin.
Your response made me laugh until I cried. Thank you for the super laugh to start my week. It’s all 100% truth. The one strip of paper was the funniest. 
Thinking about ordering, what’s the best by or guaranteed 15 year power guarantee date on them? Thanks
Hello. These are from Amazon so we don’t have that information plus it could vary from warehouse to warehouse.
EDIT.
Woot offered a replacement or refund for it. Thanks woot customer support.
Ordered yesterday, delivered today. Package arrived with the batteries already open and rolling about in the box. Submitted an email complaint. Will wait for response from woot to see if they do something about it.
To be fair, they probably opened in transit. The glue holding the plastic to the cardboard is terrible with these.
Pretty sure they send this guy to come put them back in the package and apply a piece of tape to keep it closed:
I didn’t want to wait; I just put them back and taped it myself (well, the Energizer ones that came the same way).
Hi there. Agree with @ShotgunX that it opened in transport. These were obtained from and shipped by Amazon. They choose how to ship things. Sorry it opened up.
Could be worse, you could have ordered rice.
Then it could be marketed as a recycleable bird feeder.
I mean, the plastic case they were in came with it. Obvious they fell out during shipping. I just bought some. Didn’t deter me. However, Amazon does do horrible with shipping items in the wrong size boxes. I blame the robots. At least they find a box for your product to get to you quickly! I have kids, so every box we get is a new adventure or ends up being a storage box to some kind of junk. Just waiting now for drone delivery!!! Lol
