I recently had a clothing malfunction when the zipper on my leather jacket did not work correctly. It moved upward, but the zipper teeth did not lock together as they should. A friend suggested taking the jacket to a dry cleaner to have a new zipper installed. I knew that a complete zipper replacement on a leather jacket would probably cost more that I paid for the jacket. Plus, I could see that the zipper teeth looked to be in good condition. What else could be wrong? The zipper slider. I looked on the internet for sliders from Walmart, found and ordered them to be shipped to nearest store. They arrived a few days later and I was shocked to see they came in a cardboard box large enough to hold my jacket. The box contained 10 zipper slides which would easily fit into a 1 cubic inch box. I thought the price was high for 10 sliders, but it sure beats taking it to the cleaners for repair. Took me about five minutes to remove the old slider and install a new one. Works great, even better than the original. Thank you Walmart, but you might want to consider a smaller shipping container next time.
