Unboxing may seem simple but not for me Whenever a parcel arrives that I have booked online I have problem unboxing it The parcel is so badly packed that no scissors can do that job easily And then there is the question of putting together parts that have been separated in the parcel of any gadget. For othis I refer to YouTube where unboxing and fixing details are provided. Do you find unboxing a chore?

Yes, I often do. So, I pass on the box to my son or DIL for them to do it. I don't have enough patience and when I stay too long in one position my bones and muscles hurt.

It's not really a chore, but sometimes it's not an easy task. We finished assembling our bookshelves and cabinets two weeks ago and it was exhausting.

@LadyDuck I remember I had ordered for a cupboard for a charitable institute. They got the stuff but worried me how to assemble it and that was not what I was expecting. I asked them to contact the Site

@allknowing - Frustrating not, but it was very hard to assemble the bookshelves and place where she had to be placed. Those things are heavy.

I do agree that some boxes are so hard to open that it's frustrating. I shop online more these days than physically going to the store so I hassle with boxes frequently

@allknowing No, very rarely, except sometimes for hard-to-find books or for odds and ends from eBay.

Sometimes its an arduous task to do the unboxing. They wrap it up like its never meant to be opened!

I feel the same way . By the time it is opened the box cannot be recognised - all in tatters

@allknowing yes. Once they sent a mosquito bat that we ordered in a package which had enough room for a medium sized led tv and there were tapes all around in a cyclic fashion...I thinkthey finished the whole lot of tape on that one
