Pull Tab to Open

So, a week ago, I got an e-mail saying that my order of Electroplankton from Amazon.com had shipped. However, the estimated arrival date was rather interesting:

e-mail

Apparently it would take a whole two months to reach me. So, color me surprised when I found that the package was delivered some time today. Somehow, USPS managed to find a way to knock off more that fifty days from the original delivery route, which is excellent customer service, in my opinion.

Unfortunately, my elation was quickly smothered when I attempted to open the box:

The directions seemed oh so clear: simply pull the tab lengthwise and to open the package.

no flap

But alas, there appears to be no tab in sight!

I guess I’ll never play Electroplankton now. ;_;

    Times like these make me long for flying toasters.

    Those folks at amazon.com sure are pranksters! This reminds me that I need to buy that game as well. In fact, I plan to go on a game shopping spree this weekend; I’m like a month behind on my DS releases (Gotta catch ’em all!…or at least the good ones).

    Yeah, but the game was wrapped in plastic, so some of it melted to the transparent plastic part of the game box. :(
