So I recently purchased edimensional shutters. When i recieved the package it was quite a bit larger than I expected so I opened it there on the spot. The packing slip still said one pound though it felt more like 30. I reach in and pull out the wireless emitter. I reach in again and pull out a ..... leafblower? I think to myself I can just see the perect stereo representation of depth as I blow fallen leaves off of my front lawn. Anyone else ever get a messed up package from an online purchase?

What leafblower is it? The leafblower is probably worth more than ED's are. If thats the case I'm sure the seller is very sorry lol

Ya I already contacted and returned to sender. Soon I'll get my real ED. Had to laugh for the guy who ordered a leaf blower and got glasses though.

Main issue I have had is they didnt tell you the shipping method until AFTER you paid... They have sent me packages via USPS, which doesn't work when you have a tiny apartment mailbox...

Does it work like the colorwheel in a dlp-projector? I'm concerned that the rotation of the turbine might induce slight audible noice. I googled leafblower but i have really trouble seeing how to use with shutters. Somebody enlight me. :shock:

Really its the best way to get a 440hz refresh rate. I still notice ghosting however.

I haven't had problems with amazon before but the package I received today had another package inside it addressed to someone else. No big deal since it did have the stuff I ordered as well. Someone must have been in a hurry to get out of work. Despite this I think amazon is a great store and deliveries are really fast even if it's at the expense of accuracy at times :P

Not sure. Dvd's probably judging from the size and sound. Didn't open it, just hauled it to the post office.
