I ordered a helmet off of Amazon and when it arrived, it was loosely packed without any padding in an oversized cardboard box. The box was on its side on my doorstep. Is this a common way to ship helmets? I guess it'd be okay, but I'd feel alot better about a helmet that was shipped with some semblance of care, considering they are only made to take one impact.
Every helmet I ever bought came in its box which usually has styrofoam and is designed for that specific helmet. But I also never bought any ali-baba helmets from shady sellers on amazon or ebay, only well known brands from reputable companies that sell riding gear
the EPS liner needs something inside the helmet to be damaged during an impact. a helmet rolling around inside a box could damage the shell if something hard or sharp was involved. you'd probably notice something seriously wrong with the box and damage to the paint. ive ordered plenty of helmets online from reputable sellers. the helmet was always inside its original box, packed inside another box with just enough bubble wrap so it doesnt shift around. nothing complicated or fancy.
Should have ordered some tires at the same time. Maybe they would have wrapped the helmet in the tires.
I tried to order from stg but they’re shipping times were too late to get it in for the gnf. I thought I had a backup helmet, but when I was packing I realized I didn’t. Prime 2 day shipping helps in those instances. I just expected a little bubble wrap in the box so it wouldn’t be loosely bouncing around.
Rider's Discount I think is also still going also, cycle gear, revzilla, and a bunch of other motorcycle focused stores.
"Made in same factory, same line, same material." "But it's made of pressed saw dust, stale hamburger buns and testors model glue!!! the liner is used jock straps and pink insulation!" "Yes, just rike real Showi!"
I had some co-workers that bought some China Baseball Jerseys and Hockey Jerseys. When they were asking if I wanted to join, I said I'll pass. They were like it's in the same place as the original. I'm like nah, i'm good Fast Forward like 2 months. All the names were spaced differently, fonts weren't exact, and the best part was that the letters were not even on the same line. I was like
but but...it says too like when my track wheels came in and the four boxes were sideways even though it said keep it up, i was like
