ordered 4000 21 degree bostitch framing nails and received package broke open inside a very large box. some of the nails are still usable probably about 75%, but would strongly advise against ordering them from amazon. especially if it has that super saving shipping. item great packaging and shipping terrible.

I was unable to find these nails at any brick and mortar store near by where I live, so I looked online. The picture of the box is the same as what I have seen when I bought 3" nails, but I wanted to 3 1/2" ones. I read the reviews about the nail packs being broken and figured I'd take my chances on shipping and having some broken. When I got the nails it was in a brown box about 16x16" I assumed that the smaller Bostitch box was inside. Was I ever wrong.... the nails were in the bottom of this box and filled it about half way. It looked like the were picked up off the floor out of a big pile and thrown in. I have no idea if I got the 4,000 per box as it was just all thrown in, and I'm not about to count all these nails since most of them are broken and single nails. I will not do this again :(

As with other reviews the packaging was badly damaged in transit. The Fed Ex guy had to cover the box in tape to try and hold it together. I am having to take all the nails that wont work in the gun and use them the old fashioned way so there is no loss - only a loss to the purpose and paying too much for regular hammer driven nails. Go to the hardware store to buy these, do not have them shipped.

The nails where delivered in a timely mannner but the packaging was totally destroyed and overpacked with another box. Most of the nail strips where damaged and un-usable.

Overall not very happy and would not purchase agian or recommend anyone else purchase this item.

I received the nail strips loose in a box without any packing. The remnants of the original box, torn and tattered, were included. Several strips were bent and broken. Only the durability of the Bostich product saved the remainder. I needed the nails, otherwise, they'd have been returned. I don't know if I even received an entire box.

Worked great. The box looked a little beat up when I got it but the nails were in great shape. Worked in the bostitch gun good.

I purchased two boxes of nails and was afraid to get them all busted up, after I read the other reviews. But I bet there is maybe a total of two sticks worth of pieces. I mean a couple off the ends of sticks, to total 2 complete sticks. I would say there 99.8 % useable. Great price and free freight.

Well what can you say about a box of nails? I have looked for 3 1/2" nails locally and they are not to be had. I've seen them on the internet at prices lower than Amazon but the freight was as much as the nails so the Amazon price with Super Saver Shipping was cheaper. I really didn't need 4000 nails; 2000 or 2500 would have suited my needs better and I started to rate it a 4 on that basis but that really has nothing to do with the quality/suitability of the product so I rated it 5 stars along with the rest. The nails were delivered sooner than the estimated date. The box was frankly pretty beat up, thought not torn open, when I got it. It is a heavy box of course. I expected the worst when I opened it up yet I did not find one broken stick in the box and I dug all the way to the bottom. I have a Bostitch nailer so they fit fine in it and work well of course.
