Removing items from boxes

Are you wondering why you just bought something and went to use it and all you got was a box instead of what you were expecting? Sometimes sellers sell you their product in a box to avoid item losses, because it's safer to transfer one item than many. To get the item you purchased, you will need to open the box and move it's contents into your inventory.
- Drag-and-drop the container that you purchased from your inventory and drop it on the ground.
- You will have to be in an area that allows you to build objects, such as a sandbox (in the regions Cordova or Morris), or your own property or property of a friend.
- Right-click on the container, and select "Open" from the pie menu. The contents of the box will open.
- Be sure you are in a sim that has low lag. Wait until all the items are loading. That can take up to 2-3 minutes in case of tens or hundreds of items. Most of the item losses while buying are caused be impatience!!!
- Click: "Copy to Inventory" to copy the items into your inventory to a folder called as the box you just opened, or "Copy and Wear" to immediately wear the items.
- Alternatively, if you bought an item that needs to be placed inworld, like a house or furniture, you can drag the items from the object contents window to the ground.
- You may get a message warning you that moving the item can damage the container object. That just means that the contents are not copyable, so you will be moving them from the container instead of copying them. Just click OK if this happens.
- Once you are sure that you have copied each of the contents of the container to your inventory, you can delete the container, or take it back into your inventory if you have a reason to keep it.
