JSB packaging from Pyramid Air

[scubajeeper]

I made a pellet order while PA had their 4th of July sale. The tins are a little different and there is scotch tape on them instead of the traditional tape that we are all familiar with, also the foam padding is different. Has any one seen this from other vendors? The pellets look OK although I haven’t shot any yet. Just wondering.

 

[HeyU]

That is different. Did they still come in that protected foam?

I cant believe JSB would sends out tins with cheap ass scotch tape that looks so unprofessional. Theyve always used the colored tape around the whole seam. That looks sketchy....

Yes, they were still in the foam.

You get what you pay for .. ( and most times less)

screw on lids vs the old lids? maybe need less tape to hold shut during shipping?

better count your pellets

 

[muddydogz]

Well good to see jsb do something on the lids. We've complained about how easy they were to spill before.
Even with screw tops i still manage somehow to routinely dump out full tins in the grass, carpet, garage floor.

As long as the tins and pellets look good. I pretty much will only buy from PA and not in ridiculously large quantities. More weight in the box equals bad in my opinion. I’ve bought pellets twice here. 25 cal hades that so far have all that I’ve opened have looked horrendous. I also bought and 18 tin lot of jsb 18.1 that so far have all looked utterly abysmal. Unbelievably they don’t shoot that bad. Never again. PA only. I will spend the extra 25 or 30 bucks you might save here.

We've had a few complaints with those new screw on lids opening during shipping, so we are adding the tape before they ship. I understand it's not pretty but hopefully it keeps them from spilling.

Why not tape it all the way around with one piece, it’s a pain trying to get three pieces of tape off.

PA taking care of business! Good on ya!

I'd think the process would go faster with a full wrap.
Not a job I would want.
Here. Put 3 pieces of tape on each tin.
Not 1. Not 4. But 3! 3 is the magic number!
One could make a jig setup to do a full, FAST, wrap!

I think the tape we're used to is the electrical tape. Rubbery and a little thicker, usually black or some bright colour.

I do have to wonder. Since the Tins probably cross the Atlantic in a big contanier on a Ship?
How many open in that?

Probably not many based on the way they are bulk packed. But when you have different sizes packed into a small box (even with our foam), accidents can happen.

 

[Privateer]

Yep. Sheetz happens.

But some peeps have to complain regardless.
If JSB changed the color of the tape? They'd start a thread about that!

 

[crowski]

Send them back. Clear tape, unacceptable. Might break a finger nail. Crow

 

[scubajeeper]

Some people

Just leave the tape on and run your fingernail in the groove to cut the tape.
