What if you opened a package and found a head??
CASCADE TOWNSHIP, Mich. - Two packages containing human body parts — including a liver and part of a head — meant for a medical research lab instead were delivered to a home.
The body parts, sent from China, were mistakenly dropped off Thursday at Franck and Ludivine Larmande's home by a DHL express driver who believed the bubble-wrapped items were pieces to a table.
"My husband started to unwrap one and said, 'This is strange, it looks like a liver,'" Ludivine Larmande said. "He started the second one, but stopped as soon as we saw the ear.
"Something wasn't right. It was scary, and I'm glad I didn't open them."
The couple called Kent County sheriff's deputies, who determined the preserved body parts were for medical research, Lt. Roger Parent said.
Authorities believe 28 more bubble-wrapped human organs and body parts could be dispersed across the country, The Grand Rapids Press reported. Two of five packages headed to the northern Michigan lab broke open, scattering their contents.
"There will definitely be a shock to people if they see these things, but there is no hazard to health," Parent said.
DHL is investigating whether it should have shipped the body parts and how the packages were dispersed, spokesman Robert Mints said.

I'd wipe my prints off, tape that puppy back up and return to sender.

OMG!! At one time I lived in E. Grand Rapids which isn't very far from Cascade. What a horrible surprise to get out of the blue. DHL is a very reputable service like FedEx and UPS. I'm sure they will do what they can to get to the bottom. Meanwhile they have already seen the body parts. I'd have nightmares for the rest of my life.

I would probably scream and drop the damn box and have head and liver all over my floor .. lol. That would be gross!
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. Distance and time may separate us but friendship and memories won't.

DHL may be a reputable company, but honestly. they should have taken many more precautions in the way they shipped the items. It sounds as though all they did was wrap them in bubble wrap (according to the article). Things like this should at least be in a sealed box that is stamped with some kind of warning like, "medical research parts, to be opened by addressee only."
And for crying out loud how could they even possibly think that it would be okay to ship body parts all the way from China without some kind of climate control in the box, like dry ice? Yuck!
I also love the way they made sure to say "There will definitely be a shock to people if they see these things, but there is no hazard to health." How exactly do they know that? Are all body parts that are sent from China and used for research tested for disease?
