IMAGINE IF EVERY STORE IN THE WORLD THAT SOLD BREAKABLES - VASES, DISHES, GLASSES , ART PIECES..... TOOK YOUR GOOD MONEY, THEN PLACED YOUR ITEMS IN A SHOPPING BAG AND SENT YOU ON YOUR WAY ?????????*****THEY WOULD ALL BE OUT OF BUSINESS IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS~~~ON THE OTHER HAND ****A VENDOR WHO TAKES THEIR TIME WITH WRAPPING EACH ITEM WITH CARE MAKING SURE THAT IT MAKES IT TO YOU HOME SAFELY WOULD GAIN TRUST AND YOU WOULD RETURN AS A LOYAL CUSTOMER~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**************** ~~~~~~~****************~****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HALF OF THE SELLERS IN THE HEADVASE COMMUNITY - ARE ON MY BLACK LIST ----WHY ???? THEY COMPLETELY IGNORE MY REQUEST FOR MY HEADVASE TO ARRIVE SAFELY - AND SURE ENOUGH IT'S PACKED WITHOUT CARE AND BROKEN *(***SOME SELLERS HAVE BEEN AT IT SO LONG ***THEY JUST DON'T CARE ANYMORE ****I GET COMMENTS LIKE ***THAT'S WHAT INSURANCE IS FOR **** HOW DOES INSURANCE REPLACE MY GORGEOUS RELPO THAT'S BEEN AROUND 50 YEARS .....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????IT'S NEVER THE MONEY WITH ME, IT'S INSULTING TO BE IGNORED COMPLETELY AFTER REQUESTING SAFE ARRIVAL AND IT'S UPSETTING TO OPEN A PACKAGE WITH A VINTAGE BEAUTY IN TWENTY PIECES!!!!!NEEDLESSLY !~!!!!!IT'S SO EASILY AVOIDABLE...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**************** ~~~~~~~****************~****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SOMEONE ONCE PUT A 7 1/2 INCH" GORGEOUS GAL IN NEWSPAPERS AND A SMALL BOX - NOT ONLY DID SHE BREAK BUT THE PIECES WERE FILTHY WITH THE INK FROM THE NEWSPAPERS ANOTHER ONE WAS IN A ZIPLOCK BAG ONLLY!!!!!
