EBay globe shipping US to Canada
Summary: hc2yz-0 shares their frustration with receiving broken antique porcelain items from a purchase on eBay, despite paying for high shipping costs. They criticize both the shipping carrier and the seller's poor packaging practices. femmefan1946 informs hc2yz-0 about eBay's Money Back Guarantee, suggesting it may deter improper packaging. hc2yz-0 describes the poor state of the received packaging and mentions that they contacted the sellers but haven't received responses yet. marnotom! points out that the seller's responsibility may have ended once the item reached the forwarding hub.
I purchased a few pieces of antique porcelain from the States, paid for high shipping and duties, waited for 31 days for them to arrive. Finally, they are here this morning, but both items were broken. I’m extremely disappointed with the eBay shipping carrier, and I'm also sad that some sellers don't have a sense of responsibility for packaging. I’m expecting a few more pieces to arrive, keeping my fingers crossed for their safe arrival.

·2 years agoHow disappointing.
You do know that the broken items are covered by the eBay Money Back Guarantee , though?
While money doesn't make up for losing the Thing, losing money may encourage the seller to pack better.
Was there damage to the packaging or only to the Thing?

·2 years agoBut the seller won't lose anything as the item made it to the forwarding hub in suburban Chicago. Their responsibility for damage-free shipping ended at that point.
