So, I order some "invisibulbs" from http://www.bimmian.com/60/ about 2 months ago. I only ordered the front turn signals and the side markers. I emailed them on how long it was taking and they they told me to wait a little longer so I did and it got here 2 months after I purchased them. Late, but here. I was surprised to see that they packaged it in one of those little thin orangey type flat envelopes instead of a box. You know they type that have those little bubbles made into it. Okay, so I was already taken back by the packaging but I figured maybe it was something else. They could not have put light bulbs in this envelope....
They did!!!! I open it up and there they are in a thin plastic holder. The plastic was sliced open from the back to take out the bulbs that I didn't order. I thought, GHETTO!!!!!
So I take the side marker bulbs out and put them in... They work, not really impressed though. I take out the bulbs for my turn signals and one is cracked... It completely fell apart in my hands... I was so upset!!! The sad part is, I was so careful... I though hey, they made it this far in an envelope It would suck if I brake them now... Inevitably, broken!
I waited pretty long for a set of bulbs that were overpriced and broken. Tell me, should I put them on blast or should I be my usual understanding self?
I just want them to take better care you know!
Grrrrrrr!!!

ive overed the silver bulbs from bimmian a couple times now and they always come packed in the plastic bulb thing, and then in a box filled with styrofoam peanuts. im surprised they would ship them in an envelope.

Weird, as I've ordered many invisibulbs from Bimmian and have never had a problem. They're fast and always come well packaged. Interesting...

I am begining to think this is a conspiracy!!! Or a candid camera dealyo... Where are the camera's? I am sad and alone fellow E60ers.
Well, at least it has not happened often or to many of you... Nope, doesn't make me feel better at all. I tried.

So here are the pics... The worst part is... I just received the Xenesis tru match halo upgrade (which is literally a downgrade) and they came the same way!!! They were in a hard plastic container but you could hear the bulb rattling around inside. They were not broken but the tip of one was chipped... I hear such good things about their packaging from you all but thats 2 for 2.
