wow... thats actually really bad!

Notify them..

BTW The box I recieved when I bought a capo and a couple of packages of string was not much bigger than a dvd cover....

It was worse when i was ordering a large container of industrial cyanoacrylate, It never made it past border control

Walgreen's for the nail file--there's one on every street corner. Just look for it in the "nail care" section. Don't ask the clerk for a diamond or emerald nail file. You'll just get a blank stare, or they will tell you they don't have them. But they do have them--really.

Guitar Center for the Dunlop capo--take hearing protection when you go there, but the salesclerks are polite--at least in Austin.

www.stringsbymail.com is a great place for strings. They're cheap and they ship them promptly in reasonably sized packages.

doit--definitely go to stringsbymail for strings as you have a wide range of choices and can, for most brands, buy bass strings only. as to the dunlop--the orozco is most happy with a 21st century cejilla on her. i believe stringsbymail sell files as well.

if you go to guitar center be sure not to play any stairway to heaven lick as you may be tossed into the dumpster by a store employee who has heard those licks played thousands of times. a guitar center on a saturday in the winter can be brutal--kids by the hundreds trying to out-chop each other. this may be what hell is like so be sure to live a pure life or else.
