  1. Should you open it.

    Or should you keep it sealed ?

    😁

    Hit it with a 🔨.

  2. a) take it into store and get them to remove it

    b) use a very strong magnet to open it

    c) smash it open

    d) contact Tesco and see if they can drop you off an opened one and collect this one

    Choose one.

  3. Order a hammer with your next delivery out pop to a Tesco and ask then to take it off (the receipt will be enough I imagine)

  4. I used to work in Tesco and these are tougher than you think. Better than a hammer is a flat head screw driver worked into the gap were the lid is. Easier would be to take it to a shop with your order email

  5. Post it on r/mildlyinfuriating and reap the kudos.

  6. Wrap the whole thing up and give it to a friend as a present.

  7. Take it to your nearest superstore with proof of purchase. Also email/ring up complaints and you’ll probably some goodwill gesture like money off the bill or a voucher. That is assuming you did actually purchase it… If not get a life.

  8. drill holes all the way round then hammer. keep the hole spacing pretty tight. these boxes are designed to take impacts unfortunately

  9. Alternative options

    a) Heat plastic cover over BBQ till it melts

    b) Drill though case and glass bottle – syphon into Victorian perfume bottle – use

    c) Keep unopened until it goes of of manufacture – sell on eBay for x2

    d) Use James Bond style lasers to open.

    e) Freeze to -100c then tap gently with small hammer

    🙂

    Edit: Choose one.

  10. Random aside, but that was my late grandmother’s favourite perfume. It’s been almost 16 years since she passed away, but we sometimes still smell traces on the few bits of clothing that we’ve kept around. It always reminds me of her.

  11. The 1970’s called, they want their perfume back

  12. It’s times like this that I like having a bandsaw. Minimal danger to pinkies but with all the sawing fun.

  13. Go to your local store, show your online receipt and get it done, and then call customer service and complain to the point that they’ll offer you a voucher to shut you off and buy an extra perfume from their voucher 

  14. If you have a car…place it under the front wheel then gennnnntly ease the vehicle forward. Do this with your windows down, so you can hear the cracking.

    If you do not have a car, perhaps pop in a local bus lane.

    Failing that, how are you with building small incendiary devices?

    (serious answer: hammer or hacksaw)

  15. Get 10 meters of copper wire and coil it around the box

    pierce the each end of the copper wire into separate nipples that can be found on your chest.

    Take a car battery

    Grab the negative with your right hand and the positive with your left!

    Boom!!!!!

  16. Not removed one of these but the alcahol ones you put a lighter to the hinge and melt the plastic, flips right open. Dunnonif its work ths same on these but screwdriver and hammer?

  17. Print out an official looking label that grades its condition and keep it, one day you’ll have a mint condition Charlie Blue from Revlon and no one else on earth will.

  18. Im pretty sure hitting it with a hammer will result in no perfume once you succeed.

  19. 1. Put on floor.
    2. Macho Man Randy Savage Flying Elbow Drop.
    3. Enjoy your perfume.

  20. Was your delivery driver in a full Hood Rich tracksuit and lacked teeth?

  21. I’ve got it now, used the back end of a shovel a few times on the lid and it sprung open. No freezing or nanotechnology necessary.

    I am happy to provide proof of purchase to anyone, including the Metropolitan Police, who may be viewing. I doubt my mum would be very pleased if I had nicked her perfume instead of buying it, there’s cheapness and all but…

    Edit: Edited words so I sound less like a knob who buys cheap gifts

  22. I’m surprised it’s even in a security box, I’m sure these are like £3 a bottle.

  23. A security box, for Charlie? Isn’t that about £2.99 down Savers?

  24. Did the Tesco Delivery van time travel from the Seventies to deliver that perfume?

  25. If you’ve got young kids, put it in their bedroom and tell them not to play with it. It’ll be open in less than 5 minutes.

  26. Crazy that people’s first thought with issues such as this is to ask Reddit.

  27. The security box is probably worth more than the contents!

  28. Ah, yes its was ‘delivered’ to you and ‘accidently’ left in the security box…
