DHL Ships a Nikon Charger in The Most Comically Ridiculous Manner

Typically, when packages are shipped internationally through DHL, they’re put on large wooden pallets so that they stay separated from other larger packages that might crush them along the way. They’re one of the reasons international shipping costs you so much. Here’s a video of a pretty unusual scenario; This camera store got a Nikon battery charger – the NH65 – shipped via DHL. When they receive the package, it comes with an entire pallet, loaded with a big box, with the  1 pound, 2″ by 2″ by 7″ product  box taped inside. Looks like DHL might have forgotten to take off the extra box and pallet at some point. 

Here is a picture of the charger from Nikon to verify the size  and to get things in proportions….

Living in America I don’t really know much about DHL except that they’re a shipping company like UPS or FedEx, nostly used for international shipping. If you look them up reviews are quite mixed.  But at least for this situation, that incompetency proved to help make one hilarious delivery.
