I don't like it and I ain't going to take it no more!

[gruntlabor]

Last week, from a delivery service, I received two big problems:
1) Liquid laundry soap, ECOS, a huge 6.65L jug, arrives unsealed, the lid almost fully unscrewed. I'm lucky I didn't spill it, but that's nothing compared to what a bad actor could have added to it. Ha! Ha! You say. What harm could he possibly do? He could have added some sort of lethal gas, maybe similar to ammonia, but more lethal. How do I know what some nutjob may do?
2) Tylenol, 325 caplets, jug, no box, arrived. The lid was all there was to protect the product, no seal!
I don't know how the practical jokers and bonafide meanies, let alone the terrorists haven't noticed this. I'm tired of the hassle of returning stuff I wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pencil.
But I'm told that, we seniors, we snivel a lot.

I would be finding a different place to order from.

You posted you got these from a delivery service. Did you call the vendor to ask for replacement of the Tylenol caplets?

Thank you. Not yet, but I plan to. But I may just toss them, or use them anyway depending on desperation.

 

[hearlady]

No don't use them anyway! The Tylenol I mean. Too any poisonings.

Do. Not. Use. Them!!!!!!!

 

[gruntlabor]

Thank you, hearlady and Georgiagranny, I won't use them.

Everybody's on my side, I'm so glad. That's rare!

Do you think it’s the fault of the store/supplier or the delivery company? I’d say it’s the store and I’d raise *ell with them. Downright dangerous about the Tylenol. At the very least, they packed them.

If I was the delivery driver, I would NOT accept either of those products to deliver to my customer, no matter if the store or supplier was at fault

Those products should never have left the facility

I don't know, Jules. Could have been an error at the Tylenol packing plant too. And there were many stops and steps between them and me.

Tylenol often comes in a box, plastic around the cap and a seal inside on the top. You could send an email to Tylenol and ask what it should have.

Not long ago there was a report of a bottle purchased in a WM. It wasn’t sealed properly and it had drugs inside it. Don’t know if it was true or not.

Thank you, Gary O. But the shopper/deliverer would've had no way of knowing that either product was unsealed.

 

[Tish]

How very nasty of them.

Is there a chance to open them before the driver leaves?
Once he's gone, it's yours

I find it totally unacceptable to have unsealed products

There's too many check points from manufacturer to retail.

Seems a big fault in the delivery systems

.. yes I could do that, Good idea!

 

[perplexed]

I would call Tylenol manufacturer and talk to them and call the delivery service too and complain , stuff costs too much for that to happen and yes you never know if it was tampered with, so I would never any unsealed products.

 

[dobielvr]

Take pictures.

I've never used a delivery service
So, I don't know the protocol
I hope to think you sign for your deliveries
If so, from now on, don't sign until you inspect the goods

ECOS, a huge 6.65L jug, arrives unsealed

I was thinking the same size as the huge one I have in my laundry room and what a mess that would be. Mine is only 3 litres so you are really lucky yours didn’t come right off. That company should be sealing all of these.

Yes! I've emailed them and asked if the product is sold unsealed. Just for peace of mind. Thanks, Jules.
