Compounding the fact that the tubes were shipped loose, though shown in a box, and were the wrong brand, they also were shipped in a thin plastic pouch sized for the two tires. The tubes were just dangling around the tires. So here's this thin plastic pouch as the only defense between the tubes and UPS handling. That pouch arrived with a nice gash, too. So now I hope the tubes are still intact when I need them. If I inflate them now to check, they'll never fit in my bike bag later.
I mainly wondered if this was the new normal for Jenson, as all my prior tube orders came boxed as show.
