Weird shipment from Bowlingball.com
« on: February 10, 2009, 07:39:55 AM »
I got a TX-1 today which I ordered from bowlingball.com.  The ball came in a butterfinger candy box.

The ball itself came in the Motiv box, but the outer box was a butterfinger candy bar box.  

I just thought it was funny and I wanted to share

Ahhh Disco Biscuits!

Ya, but did you notice the Quality of Motiv's boxes.

They are by far the best boxes balls are shipped in!!!

BTW,  you will love the ball

Do you think that their boxes are better then the ones Buddies uses?

The ball was probably drop shipped from Ace Mitchell. I have been getting tons of single balls delivered from them in Butterfinger boxes. They must of got some over run boxes somewhere.

The shoes I ordered a little over a year ago came in a Castrol Syntec box. I thought I'd been duped

Yes I do believe you are correct sir, because I got another ball from a different company, but obviously drop shipped from the same place, and another butterfinger box lol.

The girls at my apartment front office were like wow, you must really like butterfingers
