Interesting to note that your first response is to get irate and jump and down, and this is what a lot of people would do, but the person in question is the epitome of a bonsai enthusiast and when on receiving the dismembered tree and getting over the initial shock the kind lady said thankyou for delivering my tree and placed it on her patio as a pot plant without much further ado, not wishing to make a fuss as it's not the end of the world now is it!
She is an inspiration to us all, they may have been a time when I too would have felt like beating the delivery driver to death with the rootball of the tree upon seeing such a sight but now when I come across a minor hiccup in life like this I just think oh well it could be worse, I could have been born in Afghanistan.
