It really took them more work to slice it open lengthwise than it would have to just chop the top off of the bubblewrap and slide the saber out.  I'm getting some of those stickers and I'm going to mention them to my grandpa so he can get some for his shipping department at his company.  They are a really good idea.

Yeah.  Good luck with those stickers.  They will be magnets to the customs people to use a freaking chainsaw to open the package.  In opposite-land where all those shipping people live and work, you can count on them ignoring any warnings.  Haven't we learned our lessons with the Fragile stickers?

Personally, I want a "This product was machined by a Hepatitis carrying, HIV positive, accident-prone hemophiliac.  Open at your own risk." sticker.

maybe that works, but I think those katana swinging customs guys would also ignore this kind of warning  :-\

Just looked at the box again (for the 2nd time since I opened it) and I noticed something I didn't see before.  I thought the big strip of tape they used lengthwise on the box was just because they wanted to let me know they opened it.  Turns out, they sliced the whole entire side of the box to open it.  I swear, this just keeps getting better.   >:(
