When you're broken...

I've wanted an old vanity tray for a long time, and found a real neat one on eBay. It arrived today. The box was a little crushed...
Didn't think much about it till I saw a suspicious glimmer through the bubble wrap...

Sure enough..it's broken.

Very broken...
and the metal part is all bent...
I am so po'd. There was bubble wrap around it, but no other padding. Good grief. I didn't insure it, but it's been my experience that insurance means nothing unless the item is completely lost.
Ah, me.

  1. There is nothing worse than waiting for something and then it comes broken. Then you have to pack it all back up and send it back! Besides the disappointment.

    I am late getting around to PS - enjoyed yours, wish I could be at your sale.

  2. Oh,no Llyn. How frustrating. Can it be repaired? Shouldn't the sender have secured it better? I am so careful about sending things and wrapping them carefully. Actually, how funny since I truly just remembered that I just sent you your earrings and bracelet from our giveaway! Ha! Hope they arrive intact!
