Holiday

[brii]

I ordered Valerie's Church Under Glass last week.  I regretted not getting it in July when it was a TSV, so I was so happy to see it finally back in stock.

It was delivered yesterday.  When I brought the box into the house, I could hear the broken glass.  I carefully opened it, and to my sadness discovered the glass dome was shattered. 

I am heartbroken.  I don't want to send it back and take a chance on getting another broken dome.  I just want the glass dome. 

This is the first time I've ever received something broken.  And, I wound up getting cut on a piece of glass. 

The church is so beautiul.  I put the batteries in and I love the sparkle and the lights.

Well, that was resolved quickly.  I hope they remember this time to put "FRAGILE - GLASS" stickers on the package.

@Kim-QVC, thank you for your reply.  I am so happy that a replacement dome is available. 

Yes, they should mark the boxes fragile.   It's such a beaituful item.  The box should be marked "Fragile"

@brii  I'm so sorry that your church cloche was broken.  That is so disappointing and that church one is just gorgeous.  I'm glad that the Q is working on it for you.  I like having the reps on here to help us out.

@lucymo, I'm very happy that the cloche will be replaced. I collect Christmas churches and this one is simply gorgeous-even without the dome. It's very nice that the mods are monitoring these threads.

From the mouth of a family member who works for the USPS...putting a "fragile" or "handle with care" sticker on a package does nothing to ensure careful handling. Most sorting is done by machine anyway....

Sorry your item arrived broken. I am glad QVC will help you get another one. I have one and they are beautiful!

Update:

UPS delivered my replacement glass dome.  I am so pleased at how quickly it came. 

It was not damaged.  I do find it amusing that it literally had one sheet of bubble wrap surrounding the dome and was rattling around loose in the box.  LOL

The original came so nicely packaged and wound up shattering in transit.  Go figure...

 Thank you for the replacement dome, @Kim-QVC.   I appreciate it so much.
