Well peeps , chance is a game we play , especially when you buy from E-bay . Because I live in the UK I have little/no chance of finding Windstones in any store here so I rely on getting my pieces direct from the Windstone store , the Forum or on the dreaded E-bay & even then understandably some people don’t ship to the UK . I managed to win 2 auctions on E-bay for the elusive orange eyed emerald dragons , a mother & hatcher , & asked the seller as I usually do to double box etc. so they had a chance of getting here safely . Well they arrived today both in the same SINGLE box with a few pieces of bubblewrap round them & some packing peanuts – can you guess what I’m going to say next ?NOT A SCRATCH/SCRAPE/BREAK/RUB/CHIP(you get the idea?) on either of them 😯 . I cannot comprehend how they made it safely over such a distance with so little protection but feel sure the god of Windstone shipping was watching over these precious pieces 😉

August 21, 2008 at 7:22 pm #729058Congrats. The God of Packing must have been smiling on you. 😆
August 21, 2008 at 7:25 pm #729059Whew! Lucky! I was reading that, thinking, oh no!
So glad they made it safely, but perhaps you should keep having them ship to me and have me forward them, especially if you’re not sure about your packer.

August 21, 2008 at 7:29 pm #729060Congrats on your purchase, and congrats to them arriving safely 😉 .
August 21, 2008 at 7:35 pm #729061Is this the same Kyrin that is having to have an extension built on her house to store all the Windstones that I send to her ? 😆 Kyrin you are far too good to me already so if the seller will ship to me directly I usually get them sent to me . Most of the sellers up until now have packed as I’ve asked them to but as I don’t think I’ll be so lucky again so I might have to remortgage & send you the money for that extension .
August 21, 2008 at 8:22 pm #729062Just noticed the dragons were sent on the 8/8/08 supposedly the luckiest day of the decade – tell me about it 😉
August 21, 2008 at 8:33 pm #729063Woot! Yay for the safe arrival!

My last purchase from the Forum was not as lucky but the piece in question must have been damaged before shipping singe there was no broken piece or dust in the ziplock bag she was packed inAugust 21, 2008 at 9:19 pm #729065Whew!

Actually, we are building an extension to the garage, does that count??
Currently I have our spare bedroom pretty much buried in boxes…I am looking forward to finding the room once most of the repairs here go home.

August 22, 2008 at 5:00 pm #729069Congratulations, sapphire! It’s always a relief to receive Windstones in one piece! My first thought was “Oh, no!” too! 😯 Kyrin, how empty will your rooms look when all of your repairs are gone?
