My last pulverized parcel Sad Sad Sad













Have a look to tubes, it's incredible! Could the responsible be a truck? Mad

"Hopefully" other stuff (70% of the parcel) is ~ OK.

What a Shame!
Can you put in a claim, Marcin?

What next?
Will we have to use Packaging that costs more than the contents? Evil or Very Mad

>>> How about a Carbon Fiber reinforced Titanium box with a spy cam (to show who is responsible for damage) and GPS transmitter tracking chip (to show the trail of the package)!! Wink

OMG! Did you take a picture of the complete package before you opened it? It might help with any claim.

Unfortunately I didn't take delivery of the parcel myself, and in France we have to ask an accident report to the postman at delivery.

I get the set. The other big one was a bit chipped too. Sad

and international packages are almost impossible to make claims on, as each country will blame the other.
