When you\u2019re in the business of helping people ship big things, you\u2019re bound to come across some uniquities worth writing home about. Here are seven of our favorite delightfully weird shipments that came through uShip in 2019.<\/p>\n

1. Piggly Wiggly Costume<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"weird<\/p>\n

Ok, we\u2019ll admit: this was probably cute (or maybe funny?) at some point. But this 100-lb. Piggly Wiggly parade costume head looks just plain creepy through the 2019 lens. While we love a good costume, we\u2019re pretty sure this guy would be a real ratings killer on The Masked Singer.<\/p>\n

2. McDonald’s Playland Cheeseburger<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This relic would fall into the category of \u201cvery vintage,\u201d as it brings all the elements of a good vintage toy to the table: unsafe for kids, a strange face with bulging eyes, and a top hat!<\/p>\n

3. Stuffed Mountain Lion<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"weird<\/h3>\n

Taxidermy isn\u2019t always necessarily weird, but we\u2019d say this is a somewhat unusual specimen. The beast looks like it may just burst back into life at any moment, giving this shipment an extra dose of excitement every time you glance at it.<\/p>\n

4. Wooly Rhino Skull<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

List of things we\u2019ve learned today: 1. Wooly rhinos existed. 2. They haven\u2019t existed for more than 10,000 years. 3. Everyday people can just own them and ship them. We\u2019re seriously honored to have helped transport this ancient fossil.<\/p>\n

5. Hand Crank Meat Slicer<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t help but wonder here; why did this piece move from Wyoming to New Jersey? Will the New Jersey owners use it on the daily in their painstakingly authentic old-timey restaurant setup? At home for a casual club sammy? As just an intimidating piece of art? So many possibilities, all of them…pretty weird.<\/p>\n

6. Lifesize Papier-Mache Tiger<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

Ok, let\u2019s read that one more time: it\u2019s a lifesize, papier-mache tiger. This thing oozes with cool, and we\u2019re pretty sure it ended up in some super chic living room, a la the Sheats-Goldstein house<\/a> (see: The Big Lebowski) on brilliant display.<\/p>\n

7. Star Trek Chair<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

Some lucky Trekky is sitting in the pinnacle of style these days after bringing this replica captain\u2019s chair into their life. It\u2019s safe to say this interactive throne stands apart from the recliners of the world.<\/p>\n

These weird shipments sure made us scratch our heads, but we’re not done yet. Check out these other interesting journeys and shipments from the year:<\/strong><\/p>\n
