LiamL Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 My mum suprised me by ordering some beautiful carved Whitby Jet. She didnt unwrap it to check it when it came and just put it straight under the tree. So this morning i unrapped it to find the head had fallen off in postage! Survived from 1800s but couldnt survive the english postal service! 5 Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Past Hunter Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I worked for UPS for a little while. Packages can really take a beating in transit. The party shipping it to you needed a little more bubble wrap or foam peanuts. I’m sorry for your Christmas Blues. 3 "If you choose not to decide.
