5 litre paint delivery cost £39.98 I opened cardboard box to see the paint inside was leaking alot. The box was too big for the paint there was paper packaging with alot of leaked paint on it, The paint was not secured into this tightly there was a red arrow on the box indicating which way up and box was labeled Fragile. The paint tin lid was partially off. I pushed it in on observing this. So a loose large tin of paint in a box not tightly packed and the lid was not held secure in place with tight wrap or celetape arrived with the lid partially off and leaking alot. The paint was in a loose plastic bag not tight wrapped in the box the loose plastic bag was filled with the leaking paint. And the paint lid was partially off leaking a large amount of paint. On removing the paint from the box to try to take photos as evidence the paint formed a leaking pool of more paint which was pouring out of the plastic bag from the bottom of the bag and tin onto my floor. I have concluded that it seems the box was not transported the right way up at certain stages of it's journey by the couriers as there is a large amount of escaping paint in the plastic bag at the bottom end of the paint tin and bag. I Further concluded that if the paint tin lid was strongly secured in place with strong wrap or enough celetape less or no paint would of leaked. So a combination of a not securing tightly the lid and couriers not taking heed to transport box with paint the right way up seems to of caused all the leaking paint. I contacted Amazon they said it needs returning it's leaking so bad this would involve wiping all of the wet paint from the outside of the tin throwing away the paint saturated plastic bag it was in. Stcking the lid on And returning what ever paint that was still left in the tin. I won't be ordering large tins of paint from them in future. When I opened the box the paint was leaking everywhere and into the box from the plastic bag it was in and it was still spilling out of the bag forming a large pool of paint on my floor from the underside of the tin whilst I was in the process of taking photos as evidence.
