Unpacking guide
These instructions are here to help you unpack Shift Happens with the least possibility of damage.
At any moment, please pay attention to pre-existing shipping damage. If there are any big dents or tears in the boxes or the book itself, please take photos and send them to me!
Opening the box
- Please prepare a steady surface and note that the book is heavy, and the volumes can move pretty fast.
- Get a utility knife and eject the blade only a few millimeters. (If you don’t have a utility knife, use scissors, but slide them in horizontally.)
- Cut through the tape at the top at the box.
- Open the flaps of the box, and click or tap on what you see next:
If you see gray corners…
- Lift the four top grey corners off.
- Reach carefully around them into the box.
- Lift the heavy book directly out.
