I don't order much Pyrex online, mostly because shipping costs to Canada are so high, but also because searching out that just right piece is so much fun. I have been lusting after a certain set for quite some time, I broke down and bought one on ebay. Today I came to regret that decision.
Ouch! Both figuratively and literally - I cut myself on one of the pieces. Unfortunately, the seller wrapped the dishes in one layer of deflated bubblewrap. Another dish added to the Pyrex Graveyard. At least one of the pieces made it through okay, so I can still do this..
I love stacks of Pyrex!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! You should get a refund if it wasn't wrapped properly!!!
ReplyDeleteOh I am so sad for you!!! :(
ReplyDeleteBut I am glad that at least one piece survived and it is sooo beautiful!!
OMG, I have never seen Gooseberry in turquoise before! It's lovely! So sad... Are you going to keep the pieces and do something crafty?
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh- is there any way I could possibly get a piece of it from you? I'll pay for shipping- I make jewelry and just started a new line of Pyrex pieces made from heartbreakers like this one!
ReplyDeleteps- I hope that didn't come off as unsympathetic, I really am sorry this happened to you; I had a set of vintage dinner dishes arrive to me in pieces due to careless wrapping/shipping. :(
ReplyDeleteOh no. :(
ReplyDeleteToo bad they don't make pretty Pyrex pattern band-aids!
I am envious of your stack though. It's so pretty!
So sorry that happened. If I were the seller, I would give your money back for sure! That is just not cool...
ReplyDeleteSoooo sad! What a nice combination of gooseberry bowls you have though.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tara. You should send her some pieces, she makes absolutely gorgeous jewelry. At least something good could come of this mess!
SO sad, but amazing how pretty the pieces are even broken (although not functional).
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the sweet comments. Tara - I'm sending the pieces over to a friend for a project she's working on, but I can send you a couple pieces as well. E-mail me at Free_Fred@hotmail.com. Actually, maybe I could buy a piece of jewellery from you made from one of these pieces? We'll talk :)
ReplyDeleteI think I will avoid ordering pyrex online. Poor baby! RIP.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely think you should ask for a refund. Poor packaging is not your fault!
Thank you, thank you! I've sent an email along just now. :)
ReplyDeleteso sorry that piece got broken.
ReplyDeleteI am amaized how ebay people , some people do NOT wrap dishes good
