I always feel safe buying stuff from Russia. They’ll label stuff as “machining tools” and pack that shit so tight it takes a solid 5 minutes to get the layers of tape off but customs has never messed with my packages
Haha, that's true. We use a really lot of packing materials, since we're afraid our post may destroy the items. There's much of videos where you can see what our post workers do to the parcels sometimes
The reason why the packages are wrapped so tightly is because Russian post is not secure whatsoever, it's common knowledge to make the contents of the package so difficult to extract that the person doing it would go "Fuck this, I'm not gonna bother.", because otherwise they will bother and between the package's origin and destination the contents will be replaced with rocks, bricks, packs of candy, you name it, anything to simulate the original weight. Not to mention how sloppily the packages are handled, ordering something that can be damaged by being bent is just asking to have it destroyed by the time it reaches you.
The same in poland. Everybody packs the packages like they were made of glass.
@@user-he6un6sj3c Hey, at least we got some Russian candies...
Yeah, I've received some packages from Russia packaged so well that I could play football with them, with the relatively fragile contents still inside. They have it down to a science lol
I can feel this pain on a personal level. Back in 2020 I had ordered a $400 (Canadian dollars mind you) custom mini figure for DnD. It was not only custom modeled, but also hand painted, well, my sweet little boy arrived two months late, and he was completely destroyed, not salvageable at all, he was like dust in the wind. I was genuinely upset, and Ebay just shrugged their shoulders and said it wasn't their fault.
Just sue them 👍

I buy from Japanese ebay sellers as a game collector and guess what? They use the Japanese post not through any other company. It gets sent through a few other countries before hitting me but it’s never hitting eBay’s international shipping companies. It’s perfect. All my US ebay packages come through the USPS. That makes it great.
Btw the Japanese post office for an SNES game uses a tiny bubble mailer wrapping it as tight as they can. Like the package is just big enough to hold the game so it doesn’t rattle around like crazy in the mailer. It’s just there. If it’s a DS game the person will put it in a plastic DS game protector unless they have the game case and they wrap it extra. It’s perfect!
whenever i buy japanese game consoles and such, they always ship with fedex which is nice since they use the fastest shipping possible for free. i always avoid buying from the us when i can and when i did have to use the gsp. i waited A MONTH for my package.

somebody needs to be able to hold eBay accountable. They can't just take money and items worth a decent amount and just get away with it, no holds barred. That's so scummy and it makes me want to not use eBay anymore even though they're probably my favorite used auction site. I just don't want to be caught dead supporting some shiesty scum company that walks on their customers like that.
WTF eBay?
That's literally theft!
If someone ordered an item, and the seller sent eBay the item, and eBay sent the customer the box WITHOUT the item, that is legit theft on eBay's part!

I felt that end bit about supporting local business. I used to get my meds from a Walgreens, and they were SEVERELY understaffed. Like I think they genuinely only had one full time pharmacy tech. The cars for the pharmacy drive thru would literately go around the entire store. But I ended up finding a local small like five stores big chain of pharmacy literately in a neighboring shopping center. Go in, they remembered me and my name by the second visit, have even refilled prescriptions on very short notice. Amazing people!
Like this is exactly what I tell people. Even if the place isn't amazingly perfect, local businesses that at least try to give you a good experience are important. If we lose them, we end up bitches of a giant corporate machine that'll come up with new ways to screw us over with no way being able to do anything about it.
11:35 Not a lot of people talk about this specific DankPods moment, but this little tune is so great, I hum it to myself from time to time when I'm doin eBay things.
My dad was selling spare, very good condition motherboards on ebay, the buyer returned them saying they were broken. We received an empty box from the buyer and ebay required us to refund his whole $100+ sale. Ebay is such a shitty company

I understand why people use it, but I've never bought anything from ebay and probably never will. I'm not a collector though, so I don't really know what alternatives are out there for stuff like this.

I started getting annoyed at ebay for mostly scams. But thats not ebays fault... 2 weeks later I see someone on ebay gets scammed by ebay. Not a good reputation.
Hey Daniel!
I ordered a server GPU from a seller in the UK and used the ebay shipping as it was cheaper and supposedly just as fast as the more "traditional" shipping. It was a Tesla M40 that was supposed to have a fan mod to cool it in a regular case.
When it arrived the box was in brutal shape. The exterior shroud had the classic massive scar and the fan was missing, with the 3d printed fan mount snapped apart. I of course got in contact with the seller, who showed pictures of the whole thing together and packaged pretty well in a different box.
I ended up printing my own fan adapter and mounted a fan I bought from microcenter to it and have been rendering stuff on it and using it for a virtualized gaming setup for two players on one pc.

I ordered some stuff from eBay recently and they all arrived in immaculate condition except for the one thing that came through the eBay Shipping center. It wasn't packaged very well but I can only assume eBay screwed up the package but it was Video CD copies of my favourite movies and they're very rare.

The term "sealed" needs to be legally regulated. Basically, if Customs is going to unseal it, it should be legally required to say something like: "In certain countries, Customs may unseal this item."
In Sri Lanka if the customs want to unseal an object they send you a form stating that you product is on hold at the customs. If you want it to be open in front of you, you can go to the customs with form. Or you can pay the customs fee at the local post office. I thought this was hassle. But after this video, I think what they do is ok.

I used to work for Hermes/EVRi in the UK and one of the biggest issues is that when parcels are loaded into trucks at the regional hubs for the main hub they are literally chucked into the trailer piled ontop of each other from back to front, no cages or crates to hold them. which includes eBay sellers shipping through parcel drop off points, its not always the service providers fault because a lot of sellers assume their package will be handled with care when thats not the case. its not like they dont care but the workers are under so much pressure to meet turnaround times that speed wins over care.

Oddly enough I’ve had to buy car parts from Australia to USA, completely opposite of Dank, and I had stuff go through some sort of global shipping partner, one of the things they’ve opened were car coil springs. Sliced through the box so messily when they retaped the box it was more tape than box. Gee I wonder why it was stapled shut guys. They also took the springs out of the box, then just taped the box around each spring with bubble wrap, absolutely hilarious. Also for the car the springs were for, 85 Subaru GL-10 wagon, for some strange reason some place in Australia made not only OE springs, but higher strength springs too! Literally only place I could find them world wide. Man that $260 shipping was worth those fancy bigger springs.
Been searching for years for some precision made miniature engines. Finally found one and absolutely stole it on price. I would have paid 5x what i did. EBay global shipping saw it and threw it away. Said they wouldn’t send it. I’ve bought over a hundred of these without issue.

I sold a pair of OEM headlights for my car on ebay, as i bought aftermarket ones. They sold for around $500 and Ebay took nearly a 30% cut of it. Are you kidding me Ebay? It cost me about as much as you took from me as it did to even SHIP them! I hardly made $80 on the damn things!
Uh fees on that would be 10% plus paypal fees which are 2.9% + 30 cents a transaction. You aren't confusing the taxes are you?
While we’re on the Pitney Bowes shipping troubles rant: instead of sending my package (nearly a month after I bought it) to Toronto, Ontario (literally the largest city in Canada) for customs clearance they sent it to a literal empty field in Toronto, Prince Edward Island (which is so tiny and empty it has to be called an “unincorporated area and civic address community”) where it sat for seven weeks before being shipped all the way across the country to Vancouver (which is itself perfectly capable of handling customs clearance). The kicker? It was sent from Seattle, literally a 2-hour drive south of Vancouver. All for a screw and silicone gasket. Anyways, love your vids, thanks for making them and brightening my day!

Ebay GSP just tears stuff open to look for illegal shit. I ordered a HIGHLY collectable Sonic 2 Tiger LCD game and they literally BROKE IT IN HALF.
Ik it's not ebay but I used to work for ups as a package handler and we were taught to practically throw the packages onto the conveyor belts to sort them by color of where they would go so yeah a lot of the times it could be the facility themselves with damage packages at least
my only experience with buying something internationally was buying a dvd copy of the wall from england, it arrived perfectly fine here in the states but it was region locked even though the listing clearly said it wasnt. good thing you can switch regions on the ps4.
I have a real good one, so I bought a nice Can opener, because I wanted a new one that was automated, so I got this sweet Black Cuisinart, and it shipped, nothing wrong, not a single thing wrong.
But then, a few days later I get a message saying it came from a Warhouse with Covid 19, and I was getting a refund, AFTER I opened it and put it on my KITCHEN counter.
I already had COVID at this point but still think about that, man wow!
“Warhouse”? Yeah I wouldn’t expect the greatest stuff to come out from there
If that happened to me, I would be scared as shit
do you actually have covid?
whoa, hope you're doing well man

The mp3 player from Slovakia is actually my friends. He was selling it. Pozrdav od Slovenska! (Greetings from Slovakia!)
přesně tenhle komentář jsem hledal
Haha chlapi, nečakal som niečo také. Slovakia crew! XD
Eeej i Češi a Slováci tu jsou 😆
zdravim :D
Peckaaa
I’m just glad they didn’t actually tear a hole into the packaging. I ordered something from eBay once and they literally tore a big hole in the cardboard of the package exposing the items in side.
i now have an ebay woe story, and i didn't even use the global shipping since i'm from the uk. i ordered an ac for my room because it can be either too cold in winter or too hot in summer, and i found one that was affordable it was basically perfect. when it arrives, the packaging is absolutely busted, and whenever you move the ac in the slightest whilst it's on, it immediately switches off. it also has a feature to display room temperature and not even that works properly, it's always flickering. thankfully it still works, like it still warms and cools my room and that's all i asked for since that's the bare minimum. and that's the reason i don't complain since, technically, i got what i wanted. but it's hard to ignore the faults, you wanna adjust it or move it somewhere else, you can but it'll just turn off. it's also not great at picking up when you use the remote it came with. thanks ebay, i'm going back to amazon
Someone legitimately needs to sue eBay! They need to learn what their doing to people’s stuff is wrong and scandalous.
Make a petition I will be the first one to sign it.
Dragonplayz - gaming and more why don’t you make a petition then
I'm honestly surprised this hasn't been a class action lawsuit yet.
It's all in their terms & agreements we make with them as we purchase or sell something. eBay is famous for the bully they are. The government prioritizes national security and eBay would pull that card to win, since customs have the rights to do it anyway and get away with it.
@@FazalFariz screw them then
just remind yourself that you know dank pods before he hits 1 million subscribers :)
omg he liked.
i knew before 50k lol

I find myself actually liking this video immensely. Especially the Frank at the end. The best part was you actually playing scarlet fire with them. I was hoping they would explode. (without harming you of course) Big Rush fan since the beginning. I saw Neil play 4 times. I expected you to have naked Frank in front of a star on the drums. (Darn) No idea how you drummers get that muscle memory down like that, but you have the chops! (Never heard of Pepsi man. Now that I have I'll know what to avoid) Great video!
Here in Norway it's really expensive to import things. If something costs 20$ + 5$ shipping. The toll customs will add extra 10-20$ to it.
No joke, I ordered a 3 pack of toothpaste from Amazon that were all slashed open just like shown here. In my head canon, it was an ode to the DankPod
I ordered a 3 pack of toothpaste from amazon. the box was beat to hell and the toothpaste was old with a consistency more like clay.
I hate buying anything from anywhere other than a local brick & mortar because of crap like that.
"Look what they did to my boy!"
That's my favorite quote of all time, and it came from an Aussie calling out a shady company for being shady.
It's actually from a movie. Cant remember which but yeah
@@waffledemon62 the godfather
they're not shady,
but they're careless as fuck
@@TorutheRedFox I call them shady if they're allowing the shipment of "sealed" items but opening the items and then not allowing for a refund.
@@waffledemon62 I know it came from that movie, but I was referring to this video in particular.
I never have this issue while using eBay for many years but I still aware about these can happen to me at anytime. Mostly issues I experienced with eBay so far are either package gone missing, too long delivery time or straight up broken on arrival. Which all of them get resolved and/or refunded very quickly.
Sometimes when I want to buy something, eBay is only the option I have as product I need is not available both locally and outside eBay or too expensive to buy outside eBay. Which is not good at all.
Sue them, especially considering the USP was sealed vintage collectible. That’s where the entire value of the item lays
I'm cringing at the thought of an old game box like the og Super Mario Bros in mint condition being slashed up and ruined in the shipping process
That's like a massive destruction of worth.
the game itself sells here for about 5-15€, with box it goes up to about 30-40€, and that's not even in mint condition, just by having the packaging with it.
I can't even remember who but someone on Twitter had a misb copy of Speed Racer on SNES unsealed by global shipping.
a mint sib copy of SMB for the NES is like 10k, open the plastic and you would be lucky to get $100 for it
now imagine the gold nwc cart
Oh no I literally feel sick thinking about that
This is why I always pay with a card, because then you can use the chargeback procedure. I got scammed on eBay last year (for 200 USD). eBay deleted the sellers account (including the listing) because it was suspicious. And because the listing was gone, I couldn't complain to eBay. I sent a message to my bank, explaining what happened (with screenshots, seller name, card number, date, transaction id, etc), and after a month I had my money back. I didn't have to fill out any paperwork, didn't have to talk to anybody. One message, and that was it. Crisis averted.
This procedure always applies, when you don't receive a product, or product/service is different from advertised. You get money back from your card issuer. Definitely works for Visa and Mastercard cards. Not sure about other card issuers.
Same for debit cards if you're lucky with your bank from what I've heard
Mastercard saved my Christmas shopping this way. 👌🏻 Now it's the only method I use for valuable purchases.
Ebay: 'Its still in perfect working order teehee!'
when they can see that it was LISTED SEALED ON THE OUTSIDE.
There are services for reshipping items using warehouses in the UK and US (essentially PO boxes), many of these companies pride themselves unlike Pitney Bowes/eBay GSP and will send photos of the items before repackaging them
