OH NO!!

Was it very poorly packaged or just subjected to Post Office Football Team action?
Thank you very much!

Just rubbish packing. The tankard barely fitted inside the box so it was an accident waiting to happen.

Seller initially had the cheek to give me just a £2 refund, until I objected - she thought her good feedback gave her immunity to poor PO handling as well :roll:

Yeah, and if you tell 'em how to pack properly they get all stroppy...  :roll:

You could point out that the Royal Mail instructions are for a minimum of 5 cm (2 inches) of soft padding on EACH side of the article.  Doesn't sound like your tankard had that...
Thank you very much!

Just a couple of wraps of bubblewrap. between glass and carton, and even then it was tightly fitting. But I even have a 'me' page giving guidance that I always hope people will visit.

Ah well...
