The packet arrived yesterday from the Netherlands, just when I was leaving for a overnight trip, so I didn´t have any time to take test pictures.
After placing an order, they sent me an e-mail, saying (Dutch translated with Babelfish):
"Please note: in some case eps your parcel must label at the border concerning. Your parcel goes then with a another alignment number further and at monitoring of the lineline line site then will be indicated: consignment lack/not to trace. You slaughter yourself that case no care, your parcel still underway and within the normal delivery period at you are provided."
I just wonder, did they mean:
“No need to slaughter yourself” or “If you slaughter yourself, we don´t care.” _________________ Markku

Love it!
(Camera and translation...)
My favourite was a poorly translated from the original Russian Technical and Optical Equipment (T&OE) instruction sheet for a pair of lens caps:
Take first and screw it well as you like, take other and push up backside until comfortable with fit...

Another gem trawled from my memory was the instruction on a Matsushita external CD drive:
If CD should jam and be not able to remove, insert a narrow prick in the hole from the front and it will eject..
