Ugh, I just need to vent about the utter heartbreak that is receiving a vintage find that's been absolutely mangled in transit. It's happened to me twice now – once with a mid-century lamp where the shade arrived entirely crushed, and more recently with a set of antique teacups that were supposed to be a birthday gift for my mom. One was shattered beyond repair.
it's just so frustrating becuase you spend ages hunting for these unique items, often paying a premium, and then trust a shipping company to handle them with care. I always pay extra for insurance and proper packaging, but it never seems to be enough. Does anyone else struggle with this? What steps do you take to try and prevent damage, or at least get fair compensation when it happens? I'm starting to think I should just stick to local finds only, but that limits my options so much! Curious about other people's experiences and any tips for navigating this infuriating situation.
