Earlier in the week, I ordered a CycleOps Fluid Turbo trainer.
Today it arrives in a massive box - I bring it inside but immediately notice there's a black oily mark on the door frame, and can see there's more gunk on the outside of the plastic wrap around the box.
I clean it off, the start to open the plastic wrap, there's a brown, oily substance that has soaked through the box.
I think WTF is that? Has the fluid in the trainer somehow leaked? Am I going to have to take this massive box to the post office for a return? How did that even happen?
I take the box into the garden (as I don't want to leave an oily mess on the carpet) and start to peel back the plastic wrap - the oily mess is all over the box.
When I pull the rest of the plastic wrap off I find....
An SIS Gel, Cola flavour - split and oozing all over the place.
...phew.
Note to wiggle - whilst getting a free gel with an order is a nice freebie, maybe try putting it on the inside of the box next time?
PS the Haribo were fine.
Ends in a sticky mess...
PS the Haribo were fine.
Happy Ending?
Could be worse, I burst an SIS strawberry gel in my pocket in a crash... ZOMFG I'm DYING!
Could be worse, my last wiggle order of some swimming goggles took 12 days to get here, went via just about every courier depot in the uk, was damaged when it arrived and no haribo in the box.
