Reliable Ebayer in Poland

[steve1989]

Yep, I got one but didn't eat it right away--opened it a couple of months later and was greeted with the smell of death

Didn't even bother cleaning anything, the smell was so strong that it went straight into the trash.

Oh man, I've been through the same thing, Nod. I bought two ARPOL 24hrs about a year & a half ago. Sent one to Gundog and I opened the other on camera.
Gundog ironically dubbed it: The MRE of Death

It was putrid in a way that would permeate and stick to your sinuses for the rest of the day.

I've bought from Lechistanduke. He only sends one at a time because he can send it as a "gift" and he can just throw a million stamps on it. That's how I got mine. Mine arrived fine but his method is prone to failure from damage.

I have a supplier who sends me 6 to 9 at a time packaged carefully.

These SRGs are a bitch to ship because the cans have a tendency to want to puncture the bag from the inside. So you can't stack them, you can't really do anything with them.

I have to put it cross ways in a large flat rate box and wrap it in bubble wrap. Never had a problem.

I charge about $10 more (forum members don't pay the ebay price), which is a small price to pay for getting it in 2 days, not damaged, no customs.

SRGs are one of my favorite rations. Good entrees, stove, water purification, a useful bag....those metal hooks

Not trying to give a sales pitch, just pointing out there are ways to avoid the heartburn of getting stuff from overseas......for about the same price.
