    update

    i have not heard back since sending the message yet

    i have posted this on a different pushchair forum and four different people
    have mentioned black bags smelling of smoke

    i wrapped it in 2 layers of bubble wrap and black bags dose this seem possible:confused:

    Black bin liners can have a quite odd smell, possibly considered smokey, especially if they are the new bio-degradable ones.

    Didn't we have a mention of this on another thread a couple of months back? I seem to recall someone saying that we needed to be careful about shipping in any form of plastic as it could make items smell smoky, or maybe it was on the Amazon seller board or Ebay community forums.
