Cannot believe you managed to get that last pack of Andrex Soft and gentle loo roll, by the size of the box you must have splashed the cash on a 24pack. Lucky you!

Damn, I need you to buy a Z Ben, you're my only hope of ever getting to see one in person
I would if I could find a NIB for sensible money.

Maybe a daft question but I don't recall seeing anything about quartining parcels for 72h, is that a personal rule?
Wasn't there research suggesting upto 9 days?
Can't you just spray each layer with disinfectant as you unwrap it?
Or the obvious - wear gloves. Either disposable or then wash straight away.
Admire your will power !
You would have to think the same for items bought from the supermarket that's been handled by multiple people, scary times hafle.

Indeed. Parcels, tinned tomatoes, it's all something to consider given nothing seems conclusive as yet. That's the one good thing about depression, you stop giving a damn
The idea is that because the virus can linger on surfaces, to leave alone for some time for it to die. Personally I'd just open, dispose of the cardboard and wash hands, but I can understand precaution.
I handle all incoming mail wearing disposable gloves, throw out the packaging and clean the contents with anti-bac wipes or spray. Then a thorough hand wash.
Again, I appreciate the caution though.
I hope the time goes quickly for the OP
The contents is not guaranteed virus free - the outside packaging is my least worry tbh as it's mostly cardboard. Basically I'm applying safe principles - and in this case I know the watch, so don't want to be washing it in hot soapy water!
Stay safe guys - too many have died already and I don't want to be a statistic.
PS: Yes I do wash down all food packaging with soap and any fresh veg with water (soap not recommended). Makes a right mess of the bag of sugar I just bought though (joke).

I burn all my post currently just to make sure...
Handy for bills not so much for watches.
I’ll get my coat.
Can’t you just stick the bracelet on SC now to put us all out of our misery?
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Open the bloody box man!!
Lol... madness

This might answer some of the questions raised in the thread (except what the watch is!)
How long does coronavirus live on different surfaces

I do admire your will power.😷
That's some impressive tape work on that box.
I think that's a clue to where it came from, definitely taped up by a scotsman but I dont recognize that tartan

Why, thank you ;-)
Funny you should say that.......
still not open ..you have strong willpower
Tin foil hat stuff
You shouldn't leave the house ever if it's your attitude to risk as you are more likely to die tripping and banging your head.
Get a grip.
Get some manners.
You beat me to it...

A bit of an ironic post from you .
Where were your manners when posting the sarcastic thread mocking Jocke's thread's?
Maybe time had let it slip from your memory.
Anyhow as my occupation,including treating Covid19 patients today, involves a bit of cross infection knowledge I'll stand by my comment.
Just to add, this was a serious question. I've also been very careful with packages, opening them without making contact with anything else, carefully dropping items out of box, leaving box outside for days and immediately washing my hands. Then we had a largish delivery from the supermarket yesterday, and I realised how futile these precautions probably are.
Hi Tony - unfortunately we can’t get any food internet shopping - so we shop at our local Co-Op so only have one or two bags we can carry home - not too much to sift through.
These are some guidelines from a .gov site
- Disinfect all nonporous food packaging or containers with a suitable disinfectant spray or wipes before you store them away.
- Wash open fruit and vegetables by washing under the tap and scrubbing with a soft brush.
- After handling food and food packaging thoroughly wash your hands for a minimum of 20 seconds.
- Disinfect all surfaces where your food bags have been and your reusable shopping bags.
- Where suitable surface disinfectants are unavailable you should adequately clean any surfaces using detergent and hot water.
- If you have been shopping for people who are vulnerable or self-isolating it is important that you maintain a safe 2 metre distance when dropping of the supplies and that they disinfect the shopping, bags and surfaces.
Hope that helps? All the best. Martyn

Firstly, there's a difference between mocking the some conceited photographer wandering around the internet soaking up as much attention as possible and some poor guy frightened for his life. Secondly, I didn't say you were wrong, I was pointing out what how unpleasant you were being: this is watch talk, not the bear pit. Thirdly, I hope the sleep did you some good.
Is there any need for any of this?

Could not say it better myself
no one will criticise you for a belt and braces approach,the fact you cant see it means its the best way.
Is there a risk of being infected by groceries and packages that we have delivered?
Marcus: It’s a low risk, but it’s possible that if someone is delivering a package to your house and they are sick, that may be a route for transmission. I would recommend that any time something new comes into your household, be conscious of washing your hands after handling it.
Iwasaki: The [virus’s] stability is pretty good on the cardboard. Once you get those packages, open them, quickly throw away the cardboard, wash your hands, and try to avoid touching your face. Take any measures that you can to minimize contact from the surface of the package to your face.
Is it possible the contents of a package could have been contaminated by whoever packed it?
Iwasaki: There’s definitely a possibility of contamination, but it’s much more likely that the outer cardboard itself will come into contact with a lot more people than what’s inside. And if it takes days to get to your home, whatever virus that was inside will be deactivated already.
[QUOTE=bally796;5372680]I guess you counted the 2000+ that have already died. You and others do not know my personal circumstances.
Seems to have been some extreme views against public health recommendations. And yes - I’m not leaving the house except for essential reasons.
The watch is open and on wrist - very nice it is too. Functions perfectly. Thank you Eddie and seller.

I am with you on that 100%
lets see photos of the watch.
Hope to do a specific review of this military edition without inscription some time soon.
Looking forward to seeing the unveiling, Martyn
Simon
Open it, you'll die anyway, so what's the difference? Get some herd immunity going.
Handling stuff is fine providing that you don't touch your face. I'd be straight in there, extract the watch, stash the packaging somewhere, wipe the watch down with a disinfectant wipe, wash my hands and get on with enjoying it. Particularly if it's what I think it is, I bloody love them.
Don't just do something, sit there. - TNH
Congratulations on your newest arrival
It is just toilet paper right? You just had the package marked “wrist watch” to make sure it doesn’t get stolen somewhere in transit?

There is no way I could wait to open that. More willpower than me.
Looks highly contaminated to me ,post the whole unopened package on and I dispose of it safely so no risk to you .
Very impressive discipline Martyn, if this is anything to go by you must wear the equivalent of a space suit when you do your weekly supermarket shop...... I think it’s fair to say that most of us would have opened that as soon as it landed.
