I've always held the BD line in high regard, and in this instance, no change. The problem lies in that it was shipped almost as if you pulled it off the shelf in a pharmacy; I.e., basic thin cardboard box; not designed for shipping. Well this was shipped in one of those very thin plastic mailer pouches. Upon receipt, the BD package was crushed. I can assure you it's not a comforting feeling to start of with your needles possibly bent. A small corrugated box, as an extra layer of cushion would have worked fine for shipping. Thankfully, the BD needles are typically in their own individual protective shields, or I would have definitely discarded them all; though I don't think that should ever be a customer's concern or worry.

I purchased 100 syringes (25 gauge 1.5 inch) and received only the needle part of the syringe. Where is the barrel and the plunger part?

Glad I could find this online, stores here never had what I needed, or lied and told me they couldn't get, I will always buy my medical supplies here.
