Almost appears to be a AA battery, check for voltage?

Yeah it's pulling 3.79 volts! It's about about 1.5x the diameter and length of a AA battery.

Funny how whenever I ship anything they freak out if there are any batteries........ Strange. ..

Someone in Santa Cruz near where my sister lives has been leaving old school baseball cards on people's windshields for months...maybe he works for the post office and batteries are his gift of choice there? :)

Looks like a lithium ion battery...like the kind that Tesla power packs are made of???

They broke open two packages and stuffed the "battery" in yours because they had no idea where it belonged. :)

Haha, yes!

So it's not a bullet.

That's good news.








:D

Looks like the 18650 battery I use in my vaporizer. Just not wrapped in green or insulated at the top.

Speaking of bullets...I had a sweet-faced g/f a hundred years ago who wanted to travel...she got herself into the TWA flight attendant school in Kansas.
She came home after graduation, unpacked her suitcase and there was a bullet hole threw her uniforms. We then noticed the hole in her suitcase.
Hmmm....

Hmmm. ( :eek::eek::eek:)

I had something similar happen in August, with a package going to Australia... this is what he received. Most certainly not what I sent...

It is probably the new system to get rid of the tainted EBOLA waste products in Dallas. They just add it to the packages of random customers to spread the waste around.

You are lucky you did not get the jumbo waste disposal Sears rooftop cargo carrier instead.

Looks like one of the ferrous batteries they use in the cheapo Harbor Freight solar lights.

What did you send? Guitar parts? That looks like the end of a rennline strut bar. Do you have one? Since it looks like a car part are you sure the mix up wasn't on your end?

The other guy wants trade backies. Guess the color didn't match his car?... Anyways what would y'all do?

Depends on what kind of relationship you want w/him, I'd guess.
Also, now that you've posted, it's all about your reputation, eh?
Best,
