Another Broken Gemini Jets Unboxing! (but they didn't do it)

Yet again a broken model lands in my collection. This time though, it's not the fault of Gemini Jets. Rather, it's the fault of shipping. USPS seems to have wrecked the container and as such, the model received some damage.
Not good, USPS.

For those wanting to know more: - I did not file a claim with USPS. They most likely would be unhelpful and would fail to cooperate, plus it's a huge hassle anyway. - As mentioned in the video, the repair did not go smoothly and the nose gear snapped off. In addition, the paint on the snapped engine also took some damage due to the super glue. From here on out, I think I will be having my models shipped via FedEx or UPS to avoid such issues. I've had no issues with damaged models from either one so far.

It’s only channels like this that I can trust that their model actually arrived broken. Other channels just film the unboxing, they don’t actually open the packaging. Epic video mate!

[@vickysaviation5022]

Nooo that is a beautiful model and seeing that in that condition just breaks my heart!

[@bayareaaviation17]

Sorry to hear about that! It's definitely bad when a model comes broken and it's not the companies fault!

[@JJ_Skippy]

Yeah, very unfortunate

[@Evanv8886]

I have some planes coming via usps. This video makes me worry about my models coming damaged.

[@flightpaulaviation15]

you and i almost have the same sub count lol, also nice plane, im making my own Gemini Jets Unboxing soon since i just bought 2 planes yesterday and i hope none of mine are broken either, and sorry for your broken 737 man.

[@twincitiesaviator]

Looks like there was a box that was a) too heavy or b) jammed on top of it in shipping. I say this because of the ~90degree angle rip on the package that looks like a corner.

[@JJ_Skippy]

I see where you’re coming from. Initially I thought somebody slashed it but your theory makes more sense.

[@OfficalEzra]

It's kinda sad how USPS doesent care abt people's packages but the model design looks good hope you get another one soon

[@alexaviation4202]

Lol R.I.P, my Illinois one came with the wing deatached

[@aviationw12-4rd3]

Yup, it happened to me too. I received a broken model shipped by USPS. I was on a 5 year no models broken streak too. :/ The front landing gear of my aircraft broke apart, and yeah, like yours, sits crooked. Front landing gears are so hard to reattach, barely any surface area.

[@airbus7379]

Wow. Also rip to the people who died in the plane crash

[@JoshuasPHXAviation]

How shocking to see it came broken😮

[@seearejay]

1 like 1 rip model. similar issue with my southwest 737max. the stablizer is also pretty crooked. gj's 737-700s are pretty good but, it's usps's fault for shipping too hard.

[@laztravelandmore3922]

So sad Illinois one is retired

[@MSRTA_Productions]

Oh... Oh.. I am lost for words

[@canadianplanespotter]

Oh epic, now you can use this (otherwise very beautiful) 737 as a crashed airliner for a scene if you wish... Yeah that's the only positive I can gather from this unfortunate occurence

[@OhioOverspeedAviation]

This is exactly why I used FedEx and UPS for ALL MODEL PURCHASES. USPS has been going downhill fast!

[@stevensaviationspotting]

Oh dear

[@aarizathar2935]

And this is why I get my planes from, the local aeroplane store

[@sduque83]

That happened to me today it was a gold southwest in the retro livery

[@JJ_Skippy]

Dang that sucks.

[@eastbayaviation9510]

Is anyone gonna talk about the wing angle, and what appears to be an asymmetrical set of horizontal stabilizer angles?

[@JJ_Skippy]

I actually didn't notice that until now!

[@sdfplanespotting]

I literally just got a dragon wings United 767 and it was broken

[@vangamer1343]

Hey I was wondering if you could do an lbb airport update BTW great vid

[@JJ_Skippy]

I have you on the list!

[@doug9066]

Is that airport city code LBB? If so that is Lubbock, Texas which I live in that city.

[@JJ_Skippy]

@@doug9066 that it is.

[@doug9066]

@@JJ_Skippy our airport is small & boring. Southwest Airlines, Anerican Airlines/American Eagle & United Express fly from here.

[@vangamer1343]

@@JJ_Skippy thanks

[@dylanminett8552]

You say you aren’t concerned about it being ordered from Waffle, but they are so terrible at packaging stuff correctly (they pack things very tight and is easy to break in shipping) that even GeminiJets had to give warnings about them on their website.

[@JJ_Skippy]

I haven’t had any issues with Waffle’s packaging. Prior to this, every model had shipped via FedEx and each one was in one piece.

[@pacificcy3182]

USPS, can you stop using your drag vans? This is unacceptable.

[@doug9066]

Just seeing the title & thumbnail sucks. I had a package come damaged when my school bus arrived but not broken thankfully or missing.

[@DownunderAviation]

I bet the people threw it around

[@JJ_Skippy]

Wouldn’t be surprised...
