😯 Now I’ve seen everything. This seller is so lucky that this pegasus arrived intact. It was shipped in a shoebox! No a heavy duty workboot shoebox, a womans pump kind of shoebox. Inside was two pieces of bubblewrap! Nothing more.
All this and not one chip, other than the nose, and I can’t say for sure if the nose is anymore chipped than it was in the auction! Maybe pictures later. I’m soooo surprised.
You were very lucky to get it intact. When I purchase Windstone or pieces that are very easy to brake I usualy send the seller the link for the Windstone Packing Tutorial and ask them to view it. Ever since then my packages are well pakaged.
The following is an example of what I sent one of the seller (purchase was for two ‘critics’:Hi, I’m sorry to ask you this but could you please read this packing tutorial, Please don’t take it wrong, it’s just that I have been having so much bad luck with the Windstones I purchase lately. They always arrive broken because they were not packaged properly. That does not mean that you will do the same but as a precaution It would be a good idea if you could view this page:

I would like each ‘Critic’ to be boxed seperatly then the two boxes put together in a bigger box with pading. That is called ‘Double-Box Shipping Method’
Please package carefuly with lots of padding, I worked at a post office and know firsthand how careless they can be. They have a bad habit of throwing and slaping things down. Do NOT use Purlator or FedX for shipping service. Regular Canada Post will do. Like I said before please don’t take this wrong.
Thank you
NatalieThe seller was not offended by it and everything went well.
Thats nothing. I had one that came in a cola box. 🙄 It was demolished and I gave it to Nam. There are all kinds out there. I am glad it made it to you safe 🙂

It was a peacock oriental dragon. There is a link around here somewhere from back in the day. Found it!!
That poor oriental. Yes I think a cola box is worse than a shoebox. 🙄 I wonder what people are thinking when they do things like this?

They must not be thinking at all. I have had one shipped in a padded envelope, too. 🙄 I am glad yours survived. Its hard to look into those big brown eyes and contemplate sending it back or tossing it out. 😆
I’m glad your Pegasus arrived intact. Nothing worse than receiving a small box that’s supposed to contain the same size Windstone: -/ I also include a link to the packing tutorial when I contact sellers. I think it’s helped avoid a couple of disasters for me.
