beware a bomb is in the mail

[rayke1938]

I have just purchased a new reel on ebay from china and I received the following message. I just love the wording I think that they mean that it is going to be wrapped in bubble wrap.

By the way it cost me $46 plus $34 for airmail its listed in MO tackle catalogue for $224 which isnt a bad saving.

So do you reckon we are going to see Ray's new reel on the news getting blown up by a customs robot?
