Bloody wrappings
« on: April 20, 2019, 17:28:03 PM »
Received a parcel  of jersey fabric this morning wrapped up in a plastic bag for shipment like it was a second skin. After carefully pulling at the heat seal and trying to stretch it - broke a nail in the struggle- :S I gave up and got out the scissors. Nowhere to insert them due to skin tight plastic, so I carefully pulled up what I could of the plastic and inserted tiny scissors - yep right into the fabric. Fortunately it's not right in the middle but still - grrrrr >:) >:) >:)

I once did this with some silk I had ordered from an ebay seller. She wouldn't respond to my emails re why wrapping had to be so tight until I left negative feedback then she responded with a really nasty, foul mouthed reply. Needless to say I won't be buying from her again.
It's not easy being this perfekt

O @Catllar I think I'd cry! I hold my breath every time I open up a plaggy wrapped parcel  -<

Don't understand why they need to be so tight for heck's sake, surely another centimetre of wrapping wouldn't bankrupt them >:)
